Ammo shortage

[Tom Flanigan]

I load one ounce loads at 1200 fps for my 16 yard shooting. In my opinion, that's all you need at 16 yards. I save the one and one eighth ounce loads for handicap. It works for me.

I was merely passing along information, I never said I shot the or bought them I haven't found those shells or those prices anywhere, but then again north of the PA border things are even worse.

As most here know 16-gauge shells are particularly difficult to buy nowadays. Yesterday a GB advert for 4 boxes of Remington Game Loads, those with the black-colored hulls, had multiple bidders and sold for $84. plus $15. shipping. That's almost $25. per box of 25 shells.

IMO: That's absolute insanity to pay those type of prices!! We're being our own worse enemies by doing so!

I got two flats of the Falcon Lites 7/8oz and I think they were $17 each box. So in that light I got a bargain

3 weeks ago, I got 2 flats of Fiocci's for $6/box, no tax

Well folks according to the most recent American Rifleman we are the cause of the ammo shortage. Hornaday, Fiochi, and Sierra said that there work forces are all working overtime and Hornaday commented that there workforce was exhausted. Browning and Winchester both replied that demand was extremely high. An individual rifleman was interviewed and commented that he had purchased a case for each of his 12 rifles. That set him back $3200. My only question is that those among who hoard ammo also hoard toilet paper?

Dean - A private deal from a friend who started a gun club, sold it, but still retains access to their stock. Passed to thru to me with basically no markup.. Wish I'd bought more, but it's not fair for me to hoard his stock, since he's doing me a favor.

BTW, this guy is 85 years old, and shot a 93 at Sporting Clays last week with a 28 gauge. I want to be like him when I grow up
