Before the pandemic really put the screws onto the target shotshell ammo supply, I found 2 flats of Fiocchi Shooting Dynamics 7/8 oz. 12 ga. loads at $70 per flat. I bought them both and really grew to like them, but have not been able to find them since! They are a relatively high velocity load, 1290 fps., but noise and recoil are minimal. I think they are loaded for International Trap (Olympic or bunker trap), and I would love to find a ready supply of them. I have no idea of what the pressure reading of the load is.
Prices per flat for 12 gauge target loads at our local gun show, mostly 1 or 1 1/8 oz., have slowly crept up from $90 to $95 to now $110 since just before the holidays last year (right before Thanksgiving @$90). The 2 or 3 largest ammo vendors usually have less than 10-12 flats per vendor each show and it goes fast; small gauge prices are shameful; $20 per BOX for 20 ga., $225 per flat for 16 ga., $27 per BOX for 28 ga., and $30-35 per BOX for standard 2 1/2" .410 skeet loads! By mid-day of the second day of the show, all of the 12 ga. stuff is gone.
