well I getting into TSS with a couple new 20ga guns. federal seems to be the only brand that I can find in New York state. Cant have it shipped to this state. bass Pro and cabelas will not let you buy on line and have it shipped to store and stores don't have any. 

thinking of rolling my own  what's it cost per round? I looked into it some I have a drill press and powder scale. do you save anything? loaded ammo seems to be 10-12 bucks a round for 20 ga.

in September I be making a trip out west where i can probably pick this stuff up ,but if i could save some money reloading it be worth it.
where do you find load data on the tss?

You'll still have over $7/ shell in them. Most folks I know that load their own do it to make sure they have the options they shoot well when they need/want them and not rely on the market. Time goes into loading them as well, lots of time.

You aren't going to save much money, but I enjoy loading my own.  First of the year it always kicks off my Spring routine starting to load and pattern shells/guns.

As others have said, you're not going to save much money. 

May be worth hitting up some local gun shops when you make a trip or two out of town.  Or if you have some family members who live in a different state, you could have it shipped to them.
