As a long time rifle and pistol caliber reloader I can load better ammo for cheaper pretty much across the board. What I used to do with shotgun shells was buy and shoot up the cheapest ones I could find and load them back up as more high end shells with 4 buck or 1 1/4 oz bird shot. Now I want to reload for sporting clays so the load I'm thinking of is a 1 oz load of #7 1/2 shot at around 1200 fps. I can buy this ammo for about 8 bucks a box so that seems reasonable to me. So my questions are can I make this type of load significantly cheaper and more importantly is there a benefit to trying to hand tailor a just right load to the shotgun like is done with rifle loads?
