I bought the last case of 12 gauge that they had. They still had a lot of the 100 round packs for $20. They also had 20 gauge on sale.

I stopped reloading a few years back with Academy ran shells for $2.99 a box and I was costing me $2.50 a box to reload AAs...Looks like I need to get out the old MEC.

They sucked me in for a couple years and almost got me to sell my reloader. HA! Still got it and about to get it cranking!

I think Gander Mt have some sort of rebate thing going on with the Rios that put them at mid $50's (College Station). They also had Federals at $59.95. I am still waiting for similar deals in Winchester Super X (sentimental reasons, my father swears by them, so I oblige, they do go bang and drop birds if I do my part).

I was the same way until shot prices went through the roof. Factory loads are still cheaper.

Academy has Rio game loads for $5.49. Good shell, a little heavy.
Hard to beat hand loads. Paying $27 for shot right now. Not bad. Loading 28 gauge for about 4.50. These days powder is the tough part. Hard to find and I had to pay $18.75 a pound for Green Dot last month.

I guess the Academy near me isn't one of the "select stores".

I reloaded a flat a few weekends ago. I think I'm good. Right at 3 bucks a box to reload I think is what I figured when I bought components.

Not giving a dime to walymart ^ this I don't like the way the cheap ones from Walmart shoot in my 11-87. I like the Remington Shurshot Heavy Dove. They shoot for me as good as higher priced loads and they're not overly expensive @ Academy, $6.79 a box. I got a flat in #7 1/2 and will probably get some in #6, just because I want to experiment with #6 this year. I have a bunch of other shells, but these work the best for me at the price point I need for the 500-700 rounds I'll shoot. Don't get me wrong, I've killed a bunch of dove with the cheap ones from walmart, but I get better performance out of these remingtons so it's well worth the extra $10-15 a case. http://www.remington.com/~/media/Images/Ammunition/Shotshells/shurshotheavydove.ashx
