is this http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/catalog1/product_info.php/pName/25rds-12-ga-federal-vitalshok-flitecontrol-9-pell-oo-buck/cName/12-gauge-buckshot cheaper than this http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/catalog1/product_info.php/pName/25rds-12-gauge-federal-premium-9-pellet-copper-plated-00-buck/cName/12-gauge-buckshot

Demand? I thought that was responsible for the bulk of ammo pricing, raw materials being about even (1oz of lead either way, etc).

Good question. Maybe a marketing thing to sell more of the Flitecontrol stuff?

I sold off a buncha of that premium to get the Flitecontrol...lol.

Different SKU's for one thing-

25rds - 12 Gauge Federal Premium 9 Pellet Copper Plated 00 Buck
[P15400]

25rds - 12 Ga. Federal Vital-Shok Flite-Control 9 pell. OO Buck
[PFC15400]

Likely one listing is older than the other as well, and represents a different wholesale cost at the time it was stocked.

shipping prices could be different

Ammunitiontogo doesn't include shipping prices in their list prices.

The more expensive shells are buffered, and the pellets are stacked. This contributes to some of the additional cost. Both are 9 pellet copper plated shot. The buffered round should pattern better, but for HD range, I doubt it is necessary.
