Shells for the SxS events?

[Cold Spring]

There's increasing talk here and on other sites regarding the Southern, Northeast SxS (Hausmann's) and Rock Mountain's Northern SxS event. Great! And of course that's with the camaraderie, buying/selling/trading guns, and the shooting. Regarding the shooting I'm wondering what gents are thinking about having enough shells to shoot your vintage guns as usual? Me, I'm pretty well set with shells on hand to include RST's and reloads. What say you?

[Bill Murphy]

If my shot supply holds up, I am set with powder and primers. What is everyone paying for shot?

[Double Lab]

I'm good Frank. Same as you with factory and reloads.

Bill, $35+tx.

[Gary Laudermilch]

I'm just finishing up loading for this year. I may have enough supplies to cover next year as well except for wads. But you can bet I'll be stocking up this year if the opportunity arises.

Current local shot price is $34.95 and there seems to be an adequate supply. Powder and primers are another story.

I am hoping usual doesn’t turn out to be like last year!

[Dean Romig]

I'm not a high volume shooter and I have enough and can load enough for this year, including the couple of boxes I'll need for next fall's hunting excursions.

I haven't bought any components for a couple of years so whatever I paid back then is irrelevant at this point.

I'm OK, won't be at Ernies but at Mike's. But if only RST would take an order now and I'll wait MONTHS for it. Tried to order 8 flats but no return email and the phone is never picked up. I would have ordered it in December if I could get a return call. I even would have pre paid. I have made the decision to reload but I might be dead before anything is available.

Bill, I just paid $49 in Millbrook, NY. I bought the last four bags they had, #8 and three bags of 8 1/2. I bought the 8 1/2 only because it was there. I've never used 8 1/2 for trap. I think it might be ok at the 16 yard line. I'll find out. Does anyone have experience with 8 1/2 at trap?

[Randy Roberts]

I am well stocked for the time being with both factory and reloads. Having said that I hope that Morris will be making delivery as usual to some of the events as I would like to stock pile a few more 2.5" 20'sand 16's,.
Now would be a good time for me to fire up the MEC again if I really needed to. The weather girl was calling for 1 to 3" of snow overnight last evening. We had 8" at the house and some are reporting 11"
