I didn't let $5.00 a box shells cause me to sell my loaders. They are still on the bench, will be used more when my supply of $5.00 shells runs out. I am loading 7/8 ounce 12 gauge shells and searching for light 1 1/8 ounce loads at Wal Mart at $8.42 a box. I don't shoot enough 1 1/8 ounce loads to be worth changing the loader over for them. Life is good.
