Expensive by my standards/calculations. I can do around $55-$60 for that package. Plus they’ll hit you for shipping.

Wads $22/100
Hulls $21/100
TSS @ $45/lb
Felt spacer $10/250

 

Dang nice. One of these days I’ll quit taking about it and do it.

 

It wouldn’t be a bad deal if you were buying it for someone to reload for you. Last time I looked 410 we’re around $45/10 shells, so…..

 

Apex Ninjas are over $60/10 now

 

With today's prices.. they sell the same pound of polish 10 shot for like $83.99 a pound.

So....fairly good deal if you only wanted to roll 25. Scale and roll crimp and youre on your way.



If these new prices are what they are....im glad I have a lifetime supply in my basement. Forget what I have but something like 6-8 rounds a year till im in my 80s. Guys thought I was nuts. TSS was a better investment than gold or silver in the last 6 months lol. Over 50% increase.


I cant see factory loads being a thing this coming season. They might be a thing and guys may be crazier than I think. If they were $10 a pop for 20ga loads at $35 a pound for TSS, what will they cost at $80+ a pound...?

 

I apologize, I had no idea TSS had gone that high. I guess if it’s $80+ pound, then the ballistic products package is a good deal.

 

The past 5-10 years have been a struggle finding components. I suspect you holy rollers are just like me in that i've traded, bought,sold components over time to build up a stash. So assuming that is still the case (don't know for sure though) and a fellow wants to get started, this is probably not a bad deal. Everything in one package.

Doing the math, I've generally figured just under a dollar per round across all gages for the components and powder. And although I've bought tungsten at sub $50 a pound, I've used an average of $60 for spitballing purposes over time. But I'm set until I die so haven't looked for components or even priced them in the last 5 years so I have no idea what stuff is going for these days. But 90 bucks by my rough numbers doesn't seem over the top.

 

Wow, I just checked BP website and they have Federal 20 gage hulls in stock. They went a stretch of over 5 years where they had none and would not say when they would be getting them.

 

Here’s 30$ a shot that might last the kids and I the first 2 weeks of archery. Makes 4 or 5 15$ a shot turkey loads not seem so bad.

 

It seems like a great deal compared to other TSS offerings. What's banded shot? Does anyone know if this is a reputable company to deal with? Thanks

 

Ballistic products is absolutely legit. No worries ordering from them.

 

It looks like banded shot has a physical belt around the pellet to open up a pattern?
Also, it looks like you have to buy gunpowder separately.

 

Fairchild, you are correct about the banded shot, as well as the powder. Lil gun powder isn’t too hard to find, but it’s pretty pricey at around $50/lb, but you will get over 400 charges out of a pound of powder though.
