Who is Shooting More Than Me?

You buy it locally, online? I've seen powder is 8 lb kegs, but not a drum. 55 gal drum of shot must literally weigh a ton.

I contact the company I want to buy from and place a group buy order in bulk. I shoot skeet 3 times a week with about 20 different guys, all of whom reload and who have resources to do group buys

I'm at $2.50-$3 a box, but I'm loading loads that would cost approximately $10 a box from the local range

Very nice. I don't shoot that kind of volume to justify reloading 12g, but I'll put that info on the back burner... maybe one day.

I buy all of my reloading supplies in bulk as well. I am fortunate to get all of my components from Oregon. The shot is new and I buy 8# kegs of powder. I reload for between $3.00 to $3.50 for shells equal to a AA or STS.

My loads are 1 oz #7.5 or #8, Cheddite primers, Downrange wad, gun club or STS hull, and 18 grains of Hodgdon clays. I load on a MEC 9000 progressive and can get a flat done in a little over an hour. If you don't buy in bulk, it may not be worth it to reload.
