    Hi guys, I think that the general availability of 12g shells for target and field has somewhat changed the cost effectiveness of reloading them, market competition and volume used has pulled the price down. But less popular and less mass produced cartridges or specialised cartridges are easily made for a substantial saving. The 410 seems pretty expensive everywhere shot or solid, solid 12g slug cartridges too, 20g shot are not too bad.

    Hi guys (and girls), I used to be a member about 10 years ago, so long ago that I can not remember my original 'Login'. Many changes on this site since then it seems, but I really enjoyed my time here. Also back then I only had one young child. :-) I remember 'IanB'. I developed my online forum interests via this very site, and now I am a moderator of an Australian forum that has very much the same sorts of interests/topics of this one. Two very different environments over here and back in Australia, I love the countryside of the UK and it reminds me very much of Victoria in
