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.

They're available here and there but are not always easy to find. I recently ordered some 12 GA 7 1/2's from Natchez. Ammo Seek had nothing reasonable listed.

Oh I 've got more than my lifetimes supply of average shotgun shooting components, & a couple of Mec 9000's that make loading a joy. That's me.
Just surprised at anther shortage I've never seen before.

There are a couple of places around here where I can get all the 12 and 20 gauge target loads I want for $7.99/box, 10% off on a flat of 10 boxes.

Never freakin mind. I might sneak up on some tomorrow, & my brother in law might find some in Florida, but as a whole, or on an national level they are scarce. Not trying to start a panic. They are a bit scarce. That's all.

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.

The brass height doesn’t matter. Estate is the economy stuff but goes boom as far as I know.

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?
