Can't you feel our souls ignite
Shedding ever changing colours,
in the darkness of the fading night,
Like the river joins the ocean,
as the germ in a seed grows
We have finally been freed to get back home.

It was purchased ammo. After you shoot them the first time, you save the hulls. Buy all the components, powder, wads, primers and shot.Torque wrote:wtf, you have to MAKE ammo? I am guessing "skeet" shooting does not use gunpowder rounds? weird. sure looks like boxes of purchased ammo.
mind you I have never fired anything outside of military weapons, so this stuff is a total mystery to me.
The machines pictured stuff all that crap back in an crimp the hull closed, coming out with what looks like a nearly new shotgun shell. I then reuse the store bought bozxes to store the shells.
It really is about economics.
Suprising as it sounds, the .410 shell is the most expensive shotshell out there, around $7.50 for a box of 25. It is alos the smallest, therfore the cheapest to reload. I can reload a box of .410 for around $2.25 thus saving $5.25 per box.
There's 8 boxes of .410 in that pic, so that is over $40 in savings.
The 28 gauge is similar savings.
The 12 and 20 gauges are not as attractive to reload, as off the shelf ammo isn't as expensive as the little guns. But it still amounts to a savings, plus you can customize the loads.
For instance, I shoot 1 OZ loads in the 12 gauge, causes it reduces the recoil, while still perfoming admirably on the clay targets.
Oh, skeet is a game of shooting clay targets that wiz by, with a shotgun.
