Besides cost, I am also lowering my charge to 3/4 (NOT for registered sporting clays - that's still 1oz or 1-1/8) jut to see how they work for fun shooting on the local 5-stand
I have torn cartilage in my shooting shoulder and I am trying to delay the surgery as long as possible - I only need a few punches to move from B to A -
In fact this is a new 3/4 oz recipe using the new CB 3/4oz 12 gauge wads and I have loaded a few flats but haven't tried them yet - running about 1250 and 6300 psi with Red Dot, they SHOULD be soft
Those Federals ARE nice and do a great job - it kinda irks me, though, because wally world was selling the 1oz versions for 4.97/box for the longest time with the 1-1/8 oz versions going for 5.97/box - THEN they went and made them both 5.97
So NOW, I watch Cabela's because they sell Gun Clubs, which reload great, for 62/flat with free shipping which is cheaper than wally world plus tax
It seems the days of $30/flat RIOS and Estates are long gone, so I will buy whatever is cheaper - they all do a better job than I can
