CM, I try to look online at CL and a few other NW based for-sale sites once a week for misc reloading goodies. Every now and then I find something that suites my shotgun needs. The day after I posted, I picked up another 6K 209 primers and 5#'s of Red Dot locally. I will use the powder, and a friend was just asking about primers so I'll pass them on to him.

I vacillate between buying new shotgun shells in bulk or just keep reloading. Even though once I factor in the price/cost of my time, I know I'm WAY ahead just making a bulk purchase out of state and get several pallets of new shells. BUT, I have (3) progressive reloaders and I keep procuring enough components at relative "discount" pricing that I trick-[Bleeeeep!] myself that I'm below the cost of purchasing new shells. In actuality, I just can't break the stigma of being a reloader for 35 years (and being frugal as well).
