huntinsonovagun Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Re: WHERE DO YOU BUY YOUR... That's something I've never understood....much cheaper to shoot a 12 ga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Re: WHERE DO YOU BUY YOUR... Check your local skeet club. Maybe you can find a better price there. The price you stated is not that bad for .410 ammo. HSOG, Yep, the 12 ga is much more popular than the .410, so there are more manufacturers making it. Even though it uses more plastic in the hull and wad, more powder and more shot, the 12 ga is cheaper to load. It is hard to imagine how many 10s of millions of 12 ga shells that get shot every year. Compare that with maybe a million or two for the 410. That much usage is mainly due to the skeet shooters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntinsonovagun Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Re: WHERE DO YOU BUY YOUR... That's what I figured. Kinda like the .223 is cheaper to shoot than the .17hmr I guess..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Re: WHERE DO YOU BUY YOUR... Yep it is all about demand. My mom has a .410 and shells here at Wal Mart are about $10 a box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_218 Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Re: WHERE DO YOU BUY YOUR... .410 shells have always been a Buck or so higher than other gauges. Same for the 28 gauge too. I remember when my Dad bought me a Savage Fox .410 double barrel, he had a couple boxes of 3" shells and I remember they were $3.75 per box. My Granddad paid about $2.75 for a box of 16 gauge shells.

Hoosierbuck Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Re: WHERE DO YOU BUY YOUR... It's called economy of scale. It actually becomes cheaper to manufacture each indvidual 12 ga. shell than each individual .410 because the real cost is in the equipment used on the production line. Many more 12 ga. shells made and sold spreads the overhead cost very thinly among each of those shells, thus lower cost for a shell with more material. Thank you "production operations management" and professor Ozgur! HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Re: WHERE DO YOU BUY YOUR... Ever heard of dual case? That is how the english language is supposed to be in print. The first letter of a sentence is to be in capital letters, as also is the first letter of a proper name. The rest of the letters in the sentence is supposed to be in lower case. It is much easier to read. People can mistake your thread for shouting, and that is not polite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
