\ I always thought brass height was proportionate to amount of powder. All game loads have high brass. Target loads are low brass. Am I looking at this wrong? That use to be the case..... not any more. I got some 2 3/4", low brass, 12ga, 7 1/2's, 1 1/8 oz shot, 1220 velocity. That is not the highest loads but next to it.

Been casting my own number 1 buck for years.
My brother has used them in MS and has shot about 8 deer so far.
It is a little more work to cast your own but the ones i make are harder than factory stuff.
I am also set up to load my own bird shot shells.12,20 and 16 gauge.

This boomer has seen S&W shortages, Ruger shortages. AR shortages. Primer, powder, 223 & 9mm shortages, toilet paper shortages. High cap mag shortages.
But cheap birdshot 12's is damn sure a new one on me.
Cheap 12 ga. shells scarce, but AR's & 30 round mags still abundant. It's just weirder than any so far.

At local Wallys this morning. Usually 100 packs of 12ga Fed game/trap loads for $21, in abundance. Not today. Clerk said they got some in last week, gone in one day. I usually have two or three on hand, in case I get an urge to shoot a round of trap now and then..
For that matter, not one round of any sort of ammo in stock. I asked.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

LGS had pallets of shotgun shells yesterday when I was there. Yep My LGS has everything except .410’s. A couple of newbies came in while I was there and said Academy and Walmart were sold out all ammo. Including shotgun shells.

Winchester 100 packs are 1 oz at 1180 fps. The Feds are 1-1/8 oz at 1200, both in #8 shot. I have some of each.

Not just slugs, buck, the badassed defense stuff. But normal everyday target & small game loads.
No way I would have predicted a cheap shotshell shortage. Or the 30-30 shortage.
Good gosh, WTF is wrong with people? My ideas of self reliance could have never been forward thinking enough to imagine this BS. When people could no longer get ARs, they went for the shotguns and the .30-30 lever guns, thus the shortage of ammo. Yep.

I’m guessing the only reason it didn’t sell was that you wouldn’t ship. Heck of a deal though...

I've seen gasoline, natural gas, & liquified petroleum gas shortages. Tire, oil, & battery shortages. During the bugger winters of 78 & 79 we had 4x4 truck & tire chain shortages. 6 or 8 years ago there was a potential Bourbon shortage.
But low grade shot shells??

Slummy, you know you got a cousin what works at the Wall Mart. All you gotta do is drop a dime, er, I mean a quarter & call cousin. Git whammo de ammo before it hits the shelves, 10% off too.
