Source for practice ammo and best suggestion for reloadable hulls?

[Jesse Jaymes]

My shotgunning is TERRIBLE. It's embarassing. I really need some work. Some time on clays and probably professional instruction. It's been decades since I've reloaded shotgun ammo. But I am anxious to get back into it. No progressive press, but a few hundred or more per year would keep me dedicated to practicing. And retiring soon, I'll have plenty of time.

Way back in my day, everything was Winchester AA hulls. Every book and recipe was AAs. Or Remington golden somethings.

For clays...I am looking to buy a case or two to get started. But I would like something that is readily reloadable.

Is there anything Fiocchi in play? Specifically 12 gauge, is loaded ammo, is there anything specific I am looking for for clays?

Lastly, sourcing. I buy cases of steel and waterfowl ammo from Rogers over the years. Generally catch some rebates and free shipping. Seeing several options near .40 cents a round. Are there Trap/Skeet online sources that may be cheaper?

Montana having no sales tax, I may be able to snag a case or two off the shelf next trip through to a Scheels. THis a dumb idea?

You can sometimes find AA shells for a good price at Scheels. May be worth checking online and seeing what is available. Rogers and Academy have good prices on shotgun shells, you can also hit ammoseek for something cheaper.
