[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5874118, member: 2805"] LOL, your math doesn't check out :) Now thats assuming the price of #7s per kilo from China is exactly the same price as #9s per kilo from China. When I looked into handloading TSS 4 or 5 years ago and buying 10 kilos from China, 9s were a little more expensive than 7s. If that is still the case (I haven't looked in 4 or 5 years), then the manufacturers CAN save a little substituting 7s for 9s. But 1 5/8oz is 1 5/8oz.. whether that is 7s or 9s. They aren't buying by the pellet, but by the kilo. Biggest cost savings is ordering a ton of shot in bulk from China. That's where the manufacturers save big bucks compared to handloaders in the states just buying a half kilo at a time. [/QUOTE]
