Who has ever bought ammo by the case?

I'll have weekends where I'll send 400 rounds of shotgun ammunition downrange. So, yeah I have purchased ammunition by the case. However those purchases were simply to provide fresh hulls for reloading. While the savings for reloading are not great for 12 or 20 gage when you get to 28 and 410 the savings big. Seriously you can reload 410 for about 3.70 per box of 25 versus 12 bucks or more for purchased 410. BTW, 3/4 ounce 28 and 20 gage costs about 4.40 per box to reload and 1 ounce 12 gage is about 4.70.

Back in my trap & skeet shooting days, we'd buy 2 dozen cases of Win. AA at a time.

Picked up 2 cases, 1000 rounds, of 38 S&W at a gun show September of 2019 for $200.00. Thought I could use for trading fodder. Along comes the pandemic and prices sky rocket. Have a reasonable supply of 38/357 on hand. Dug out the old Iver Johnson Cadet and been having fun shooting up the trading fodder. Still put 10 rounds through my model 36 to keep sharp...but just having fun with that old Cadet.

I was never a big skeet or trap shooter but had a couple of friends that were into it. The club they shot at ordered 7.5 shot by the ton.

The best purchase I ever made was buying two cases of Navy Arms 32 Rimfire, one 32 Long and one 32 Short back in the early 1990s. I still have 10 boxes left. Back in the 1990s I was buying mostly antique S&Ws, so the Navy Arms ammo production run was like a gift from above for my Model 2 and Model 1 1/2 tip-ups.
