I think a used MEC 600jr is a great idea for most people. Prices are very affordable. If Shotshell 209 primers are an issue buy so cheddites (slightly larger than American 209s so you wont be to use others after) from ballistic products. Once you start loading buckshot and slugs the savings jump way up. But the best part is making a load tailored to our needs or wants.

Great advice.

My first car gas was 28 cents a gallon. Bought a 1959 volkswagen for 100 bucks.

My cost is 17.5 cents per round of 1oz 12 gauge, 1200fps load. It will go up after 15K shells or so when I have to restock primers and powder. I still have 100+ bags of reclaimed shot for practice which should last me a while.

My cost 7/8oz 12g 1200fps:
Lead $45/25lb @7/8 = 459 loads 3 bags left
Primers $30/k maybe 3k left.
Powder $21/14oz Clays 18grains/load 5lb left
Wads $12/500 available
Range pickup hulls 0 and almost 0 cleaning, just wipe down if it looks dirty.
The math says it's .20/rd not including my time.
Semi progressive so 1 pull 1 round fairly quick.
