Sounds reasonable. I remember when 22 lr was readily available I would usually see the birdshot too. It was usually covered in dust next to the other ammo. We used to use it to shoot rats in my grandparent's grain bin. Worked great, but make sure wear safety glasses 'cause every once in awhile a pellet would come back and hit me in the face.
