I'm new here, finally decided to make my 1st post. Sorry if this should have gone in the General Firearms & Ammo sub-forum.
Why I'm asking,
Ever since I was a kid I wanted a real gun, but have only had airsoft, bb, and pellet guns. The only time I even held a real gun was at some bass pro store many many years ago. Well I'll be turning 20 soon... which is too young to own or at least buy a handgun, so I thought I'd go for a shotgun or rifle, in the $400 or below range. I live in north Austin. Google says there is a skeet range or 2 by me... but I don't know if a shotgun would be fun to shoot at a indoor range. (I imagine taking a burst of shots to see how accurate I am... I have no idea how this will work or be fun with a shotgun)
On to the question,
When reloading shotgun shells, do you ever save any money? I've seen videos of people making their own birdshot, but have no idea if they ever saved any money. If you save any money, what are your sources for products and methods?
Thanks,
