The gun is a full race Wilson Combat. I'll bet it will digest anything yopu can get into the magazine.

I have unopened 1lb cans of Powder:

452 AA (1lb 4.9 oz -- weight of can and powder)

And
Hercules Bullseye (1 lb 2.9 oz) Pistol powder

And once opened:

473 AA (14.4 oz)

I do not reload these powders. If anyone can use them, I will bring them to the SXS.

Well this doesn't help the situation. The Rio Ammunition plant had a fatal explosion and fire last week. I am going to guess their production of ammunition is going to be delayed for awhile.

You may be more right than you think. These Feds in in Nevada seemed to have plenty of ammo. To shoot cows:

Can you think of anyone else in history who has done this? Except with people...

Just looked rst has no 10 ga ammo ! And probably wont for awhile because of powder/hull shortage . I just ordered some gaugemates gold 10 ga to 16 ga . wanted 20ga ones but they sold out and are selling off leftover stock . I can get 16 ga ammo easily . Guess I should hide my 4 boxes of rst and just shoot 16ga until rst gets back to it .

Julia heard an ugly rumor today that shotgun shells are due for yet another price increase. I went on RST's website to load up and they were out of stock of everything I normally get from them. Julia went online to order some of her shells and her supplier was out too.

It would seem to me that as shooters who reload run out of and can't find powder they will turn to shooting factory loaded shells, increasing the demand for factory loaded shells. This will probably worsen and prolong the bulk powder shortage as the big ammo makers get priority for powder and will need more of it. This could be a viscious cycle for a time to come.

It already is a vicious cycle and looks to be getting worse.
