Good News

[Gary Laudermilch]

For the last year or so shotgun powders have been pretty skimpy. However, today a small local gun shop got a shipment of powder. He got 80 8# of Clays at $202 and of particular importance to me 60 8# of Win WSF at an astonishing $160. WSF is my preferred 20 ga powder. Best keep your eyes open as other shops may also receive back orders.

Good news indeed Gary but most likely still no primers available ???

Midway has been having more powders in but they limit you to one pound so that's a waste with the hazmat fee.

[Gary Laudermilch]

I was not physically in the shop so I did not check over the inventory. A friend of mime lives close by and he called to alert me of the powder availability. I had him purchase powder for me. I might get there myself tomorrow.

They will sell a 4 lb Caddy or 8 lb Jug when it's available. They currently have 4 lbs of Hodgdon Longshot for $119.99 plus Hazmat and Shipping.

Thank you Pete, didn't see that.

Was at the Cabelas Wheeling, Wv this afternoon. They had approx 30 boxes of Federal 20 ga 8 shot @ $9.99/box. They also had 12 ga. Winchester Super X, 1 and 1 1/8 oz target loads for $9.99/box. Anybody need 'em? Could pick them up and take them with me to Hausmann's

$9.99/box for 20g is good!

Good find Harold! I have plenty of 20 ga. but at those prices I would follow your lead and buy what I could and resell at the Southern or Hausmann's, etc. 12's are scarce hereabouts, 20s extremely so, 16s all you want at $225.50 per flat(!), 28 ga. @ $250-275 per flat and one Mohawk dealer was seen offering standard 2 1/2" .410 skeet loads in #9 shot @ $35 per BOX (with a very testy comeback when asked why they were so high!!). Any more I buy ammo when & where I find it if prices are at all reasonable. When the warm weather returns I want to be out there banging away, not scrounging gun shows and arguing with narrow-minded scalpers about decent prices for ammo.

So, I didnt buy any of those at Cabelas yesterday, but at Walmart Today, I bought 2 100 packs Federal 12 ga 1 1/8 oz 1200fps@ $29.44/ 100.
At another Walmart , I picked up 11 boxes of Win SuperX 1 1/8 oz 1145fps for $8.48/ box.
At local gun store, picked up a flat of Federal Top Gun 2o ga 7/8 oz 8s for
$79.50-Prices at the LCS were:Federal Top Gun 12 ga 8 shot $99.90/flat
Winchester 12 ga 1 1/8 8shot $99.99/flat
Rem game loads 20 ga $99.90
I probably shoot 100 20 or 16 ga shells for every 12 shell I shoot, when loading, I load 7//8 oz in 12 ga for targets.
Hope some of these shells and prices become more available in the east.

[Dean Romig]

All very reasonable prices.

I went to wa;mart yesterday the shelf was full of 22 rimfire and 308 rifle.....one box of still shot for 10.00....charlie

Went to the gun shop mentioned in my first post. Could not resist. I bought another 8 pounds of WSF. At $20 per pound I consider it a real bargain. They had no 209 primers. Quite a bit of Eagle shot at $37.95. Lots of factory shells. I did not look closely but there were lots of 12 and 20 at $9.95.

[Harold Lee Pickens]

Great Gary, been reading alot about WSF on the 16 ga forum, planning on trying some.

[Harold Lee Pickens]

Stopped at Walmart after a root canal this morning, and they were loaded back up with 12ga target loads. Picked up 3 more 100 packs Federal 1 1/8 oz for $29.44 + tax/100. I would like to find some more 20 ga target/game loads.
