I got 350 win super sporting clays #8,s. GTG for dove season with plenty to spare.
But aint seeing squat for dove/ shotshells out for sale. This is the time of yr when wally world starts having metric schit tons of em and academy also.
How many millions of shells are sold nation wide for dove hunting starting around this time of yr. Where are the seasonal runs of em like usual???
Manufacturers just saying FU to dove hunters Seems to me they sell a huge # of shells for dove hunting each year.
They just taking the attitude of take what we give ya to buy that makes us the most money and we DGAF about the shot shell market when bang bang calibers 9mm and 5.56 are our bread and butter now with materials
I dunno
Just an observation versus the past norms.
Might be less people on dove fields this year because of it. That is the only plus I see from it, and even then it really aint a plus when ya think about people not enjoying the traditional day of dove season opener.

I think we’re a little early for the usual pallets of white box Winchester I usually see. I know we’re close but I think it’s early. Wally was wiped out of all shotgun Ammo the last two times I’ve been there though.

Maybe a big logistics drop is happening soon with shotshells. Just seems like a incedible amount of money to be made nationwide just from dove openers across the country.

Found 3 100 round sleeves of Federal 7.5’s locally last week. I have shot/wads/primers/powder to load up quite a few but I’m saving that for the 16’s.
I think I paid $25 for the 4 box sleeve.

I was told at the local shop this week that they are expecting shotgun shell shortages to be worse this fall than last. Not much of their steel shot has come in at all. They are getting a fair bit of rifle, handgun, and even rimfire back in stock.

Attendance was way down at the Ohio Trap Shooting championships. People conserving ammo.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

Local shooting range sent out an email last month that they were opening more for the public, opening on more days as well. I know they have to be hurting,

I’ve seen zero dove loads on local shelves. But I’ve got plenty loaded up in 20 & 28 gauge.

Being in Ca.[I know, I know] with all these messed up laws and such, I bought as much lead/steel shotgun ammo before the 1/1/'18 deadline for no more internet sales/deliveries to Ca without a permit of some sort. Fugg 'em! I'm good on shotgun stuff. 12 and 20ga. F'ing Ca laws.

I’m guessing the Manufacturers are too busy making 9mm rounds for all the folks that bought new handguns during the Scamdemic and Stolen Election. Not seeing any shotgun shells around here. I’ve still got plenty. Our Dove populations have gone to schitt, though.

Doves have been scarce around here last year. Couldn't call it a migration.

Ironically, I've picked up a bunch of 16gauge 7 1/2's at Walmart last week. No 12 or 20, but 16 is my main squeeze.
