Shot ammo is made by dropping molten lead (or whatever material) from a tower into coolant, then scraping up the results and stuffing it in a plastic case. The precision required for even very cheap rifle ammo is a lot higher. Gonna cost ya. The cost of rifle ammo is one reason why I reload.Ammunition - why is rifle ammunition so much more expensive than shotgun ammunition, when there are more components and a higher amount of material in shotgun shells, that are also heavier and cost more to ship?
