How many stops?

My driver had 136 stops with 240ish packages. All in a fairly rural area. I helped him with the 5 cases of 12 gauge. ;)

That seems kind of excessive. Are you a bad shot?

Yesterday I had 138 stops/300+ pkgs, today it was 142/ 346 pkgs.

I got a helper that helped today as well.

I shoot clays...175 rounds/week. I try to keep ~2500 rounds on hand. Buy on sale with free shipping. Keeps me out of the Wally World store and their junk ammo...

and yes...I am a bad shot. :-*

What shotgun are you using for such pursuits?

Buying in such bulk is as cheap as reloading?

2001 Ducati  Monster 900S ie
JE high comp pistons, bit of porting, open airbox with DP filter, PC3 with custom map, CCW matched injectors, Termignoni cf slip ons, 14:39 gearing.

Gone but not forgotten!

I have an Ithaca/SKB model 600 for trap, and an SKB 505 Sporting for 5 stand. Both guns are older Japanese produced models.

At the prices I'm paying, ~$5/box, there is little savings in 12 gauge. If I did reload I could use higher quality components, but there's a substantial investment in equipment. If I was shooting sub gauge...28 gauge/.410 it would be worthwhile.

$5 a box is cheap. Cheap 12g here runs about $8 Aus so a similar price.

I hear you about better components, but you need to factor in the time also. A lot of shooters I know are flat chat with work and family so they don’t reload much now.

Don’t know much about those guns as I haven’t been back into shooting very long. I do recognize the names though.

Do they still get on the driver's case about overtime?

UPS was forecasting a 15% increase in packages over last year, turns out its 33%.
