Come On guys.... I can't believe it
Doesn't the gas and TV comparision mean anything. Progress in manufacturing, should make our life better, not just keeping up with inflation.

BTW I try not to shoot to many cheap shells. They seem to kick more for the same load, most aren't available in light loads and most are real dirty.

It is not the hunting shells I am talking about guy. I shoot targets 3 out of 4 weekends Feb to Oct. My son and/or wife sometimes join me. It is a lot of shells. In 12 ga I stick to 1200 fps 1 oz. I do reload a lot of 7/8 oz'ers

IMO Rating worse on top
Estates
Winchester Cheapies (Kick like hell 3 1/4 1 oz) can reload the hull a couple of times
Federals Same on the reloads work fine for a few loads.
Remington game loads so so, hull is a pc of junk, but I am force to load them on in 16 ga
Remington gun clubs little dirty, kick more than good powdered shells. Hull reloads nice a few times

I try to look for deals on the following: Best in decreasing order IMO

Kent shoot very well, nice shot even in their cheapiest shells. reloade fine a few times
Fiochii nice like kents
Noblesport: again these are nice too, hull wall seems a little thinner, reload nice a few times very good hunting shells in 16 ga
Charles Daly, Big 5 started carrying these import. They shoot nice. I haven't tried to reload them. available in 2 3/4 dram, 1 oz'ers.

I have stayed away until recently on the imports my friends buy, but I may have to give in.

Come on guys lets not give in..... I want to shot more more more.... not less.
