Deer,
Most 12 ga target loads are 1 1/8 ounce (Max legal for Trap); and with current pricing $60 is bit low.
Last time I saw "value" shells, it was $65.
Most Dicks Sporting Goods I go into the remington gun club target loads are $7 a box......picked up a case of 10 for ......yup......you guessed it......$70 so no discount for bulk purchase.

Most target loads I see for sale are 1 oz like remmy gun club target loads or winchester light target loads or even the rio brand.....all 1 oz. All the 1 1/8 oz loads I see are labled as "AA" or competition target by federal brand and those run $8 or $9 per box .
The economics of reloading have changed, too, mostly due to the price of shot. If you can roll your own for less than $5.50/box, you're doing well, these days.
here's a way to figure the "bad news"....

Unless you need (want) designer loads in 12 and 20 GA, reloading is really for sub gauges.
I roll my own .410 and 28GA, the savings there are huge. $3/bx reloads vs. $11/bx for factory new.
Simply put, if you're just throwing lead down range, you'll need to find $25 a bag lead (or less) to save enough money in 12 and 20 GA
So based on my reading the boards it sounds like I should stay with my club which charges $10 for 25 shells and 25 clays.
