Valid point. I started fooling around with black powder shot shells for an old double. Its cheaper to buy the cheapest box of shells at Walmart, cut the crimp off reclaim the shot, hull and primer , discard the powder and plastic wad and proceed from there.DON'T !!
Don't start reloading shotshell unless you have a definite need for weird loads (7/8oz in 12ga), volume ammo (500+ per week), or belong to a gun club that sells re-cycled shot. And that last point is important. It's the cost of shot that makes reloading shotshell expensive. One serious cost analysis of lead shot will show you.
