It's post season. It's been all bought up. There was plenty in September. I was getting pinged with in-stock notices for several weeks. Picked up 6 boxes of 3" Remington #6 and 4 boxes of Federal #4. TSS and #7 1/2 loads are availbale right now.

It's really hard to find 9mm rimfire, too.

I bought a flat of target loads a couple months back. You just have to keep looking, then pounce. Believe I paid about $14 a box. That was Rio 2.5” 7.5s. Before that I bought IIRC 9 boxes of B&P Heavy Quail and Dove #8, all they had. https://www.bluecollarreloading.com...95c&_ss=c&variant=40319985582178https://www.topgunammo.com/410_c_48.htmlBTW, a few thousand wouldn’t make a dent in the pent-up demand. Everyone I know that has one is looking, which is why it lasts only nano-seconds online and less on store shelves, except for the fancy TSS stuff. They’re making it, but similar to other stuff during a shortage, it goes fast and is expensive.

Around here .410 game loads are on the shelf beside 28ga. loads, only about $10 higher per box.

Is it that hard to run off a few thousand ? A few thousand wouldn't be one order for one small gunshop. No manufacturer is going to change over and fire up an assembly line for a few thousand rounds.

Okay few hundred thousand?
Just wondering what has everyone gobbling them up? That many guys in Alaska blasting butts?
Or every soccer mom with a judge in her purse?

Thanks I’ll check out ammo seek.

They've never had the demand of 12 or 20 ga.
Hence, why they cost more than both.
I stopped being held hostage with commercial 410 on the shelf and started loading my own with a home made hand loader.

They also cost more than 12 or 20 ammo because the smaller cases require more precision in manufacturing--which amounts to more time in making 'em, and as we've heard now and then then, time is money.
Personally, after owning several .410s over the decades I eventually gave up, even selling my reloading equipment. Unless you shoot skeet, there are better solutions--especially the 28-gauge.

Only thing I ever really liked the 410 for was squirrels

I got into .410 when I bought an old Savage 220 for my grandson to hunt turkeys with. It was one of the early ones that cocked via the lever, not a draw bar. He couldn’t even open it. I sold it and bought a Henry SS. Had it drilled and tapped (current ones come that way). Later, I bought him a 20ga auto and the Henry came back home. I started playing with it and found that not only was it capable of shooting excellent patterns with TSS to at least 40 yards, but it shoots Brenneke slugs like a rifle with a Skeet tube, puts 5 000 pellets in a hand-sized pattern at 30 yards, and can break clays pretty well to 35 on my club’s sporting clays range. Wouldn’t be my choice for roosters, but I’d hunt doves with it, as well as rabbits and squirrels. Mostly, it’s a lot of fun, and sooner or later I’ll run into a turkey while carrying it. It’s got nice wood and a good trigger after the recall. It’s bare now, but I’ll remount a FF3 for turkeys (that works pretty well for clays too). Most Henry shotgun chokes are Remchokes, but the .410s are Invector-pattern, made by Briley.
I picked up a bunch of ammo for it before it got so scarce and spendy: TSS, buckshot, slugs, and plenty of good hunting loads. The major problem now is getting affordable loads for clays, but a flat lasts a good while since I only shoot it occasionally.
Johnny Carter, who puts out the TGS Outdoors channel on YT, has been doing some .410 videos. Pretty good stuff for those who like it.

It’s around. Buddy gifted 2 youth .410 pumps to my boys around November. I’ve been able to pick up 6 flats of target loads and 2 flats of high brass 6’s. As long as the boys don’t lose the cases we will reload them and go about our days. Unfortunately the way stuff is when it’s available you need to jump and buy a few years worth as it may take that long to see it again.

my dad (RIP) had a Western Field in m10 with the .410. he was 11yo when he bought it. he killed rabbits, squirrels, grouse and pheasant with it. i think he sold it when he got a Mossberg m500 in 12ga. i think it was 1970 or '71 when he bought a Remington m870 in 410. he bought ALOT of 410 ammo that he never used. he would buy flats of the stuff. and no, i will not sell it.

I have a couple hundred. No gun tho, local yard sales haven't helped a bit...

The family still has a collection of Lefever double barreled shotguns. The .410 is a hoot to use on jack rabbits.
It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.
