I'm a casual shooter so having shells with the heaviest shot load permited is not of importance to me.

So I load a 7/8 ounce 12 gauge and with that I can shoot all day and never feel it afterward.

But if your getting the equipment at no cost the look at the cost of components vs the cost of loaded shells. Just as jimbob has said the savings are so slight it may not be worth it.
