My target gun is closer to 10 lbs just so I can tolerate the usually warmer loads available at the various clubs around here. Was at Cabelas last Friday kicking around and noticed ever their "cheaper" shotgun shells are now $12/box. Bought some a while back for $10 a box, so now even they are gouging a bit. I'll keep shooting as long as the clubs can provide ammo, but at some point it will become just too expensive to justify.
