The owner claims he can get stuff if he orders big enough -like a million bucks big. Suppliers just do not want to mess with small orders.

A few months ago he had 80 8# of Clays at $202 and 60 8# of Win WSF at an astonishing $160. Between my son and I we bought 56 pounds of WSF. He sold out in about 3 weeks.
Darn at that price I’d have bought five of the Clays for the 8 gauge . I used WSF for the 16 and 20 thirty years ago when WIN saw fit to discontinue AA473 .
