Brewester11,
In reality that is not to bad for the 16 Gauge shells, I do use them, however purchasing the RST 28 gauge shells the cost goes up $4.00 a box and you pay shipping on both the 16 and 28 gauge shells.
For my L.C. Smith and J.P. Sauer older guns I Purchasing the Poly SpredR shells from Lion Country Supply on line. I get free shipping when I mix a case of 16 and 28 Gauge shells. Usually go thru a couple cases during Grouse & Woodcock season each year, and the Fiocchi shells for Pheasant I order the exact same way. Lion County has them delivered right to my Log Cabin in the back woods here in Potter County, can't beat it.
Still at the cost of these shells, I would think twice before line shooting them all the time, on a Clays course.

As a plug for RST:
28 ga shells start at $12 p/box (3/4 oz load). If you want a special load the cost is $13 or $14 and if you want copper shot they are $16 p/box.
The 16 ga shells start at $11 p/box for either 7/8 oz or 1 oz loads. Paper hulls are $14 p/box. They sell 16 ga shells in 3/4. 7/8 and 1 oz loads and if you want copper shot they also offer that option. Velocities vary from 1100 to 1200.
Good Hunting,
Mike |

Shipping is about $25 per case depending so you can add a 2-3 bucks to those box prices if you buy by the case. I jut got 2 cases sent to Kansas for $46 and change. |
