When Jerrys/Ellet Brothers we’re giving up the ghost I bought 10 or 12 flats of 16 gauge for the hulls if nothing else . Bought Remington stuff for less then $60@ flat and Winchester for less than $65@ flat . Once I’m thru all those shells I’ll have about 5,000 16 gauge hulls counting the others I already had . I think that oughtta be enough to get me they the next 20-25 years after that I’ll probably be dead or to decrepit to shoot .

Bought bunch of 16ga Remington black-ridged hulls from Ballistic 17 years ago, loaded one ounce bismuth, beautiful crimps always, joy to shoot ducks and geese from a blind, favoured 16 is Parker lightened 0 grade hammer.

I'm sure I have more factory 16 gauge ammo than all the retailers in Oregon combined, well maybe not, but I do have quite a lot of it. I used to buy it whenever I found it. I haven't shot any of it in at least eight maybe ten years. I'm thinking I need to sell some of it before it gets old and moldy like me.

I did the same thing and recently sold five flats. I think I have a lifetime supply still. Mostly 1 ounce 1200 fps black Remingtons.

20 years ago I bought several flats of English 12 ga 2.5 shells thinking I’ll probably never run out in my lifetime. Now I’m 76, got cancer etc and wish I had another flat or two. Hell, I’m even thinking of changing my membership to Life. Gotta think positive these days.
