Gun shell?
Or do you mean shotgun shell reloading?
25 lb bag steel shot $20 (0.05/oz)
25 lb bag #6 lead shot $30 (0.08/oz)
Bag of 100 Federal (once fired) 2-3/4″ hulls $8 (0.08)
Bag of 100 Federal (new) 3″ hulls $26 (0.26)
Bag of 250 Federal wads $7 (0.03)
Federal 209A shotgun primers bx of 100 $2.70 (0.03)
1 lb shotgun power average $24 (3,840.0 gr 0.01/gr)
Lee Load-All 2 Shotshell Press 12 Gauge 2-3/4″, 3″ $44
Initial setup will cost about $130 (approx)
Box of 25 – 1 oz shot load $9.25 (lead) (approx) ($37 per 100 rounds)
Box of 25 – 1 oz shot load $9.75 (steel) (approx) ($39 per 100 rounds)
If you re-use your old shells the cost will be less.
Steel shot being lighter you will need to use shot and 3″ hulls.
