I can understand their problem supplying us with lead free Turkey shells. It is a very small market and lets face it, how many shots do we take a year. Now, one the other hand, if they want to be our Heroes they will come back with them I hope. Here again, I'm like you as I don't mind paying the higher price as I don't use that many shells a year. On the other hand, I am supplying my Daughter and Granddaughters with shells so it can get a little expensive.
