It's the cost of the shot that makes it unviable. If you happen to mould your own slugs/buckshot or need a specialised load, it's well worth it and rewarding.

Also bear in mid that for specific types of load, a suitable wad and powder is required. If your shells are Winchester it's a bonus too as they are becoming scarce.
