Last week I stopped in 5-different stores, including a BP and a Cabela’s, looking forward 20ga #6’s and the only 20 ga ammo I could find was #8. Rifle/pistol was even more scarce. Between production shut downs over the summer and fear mongering it’s not surprising that shortages exist.

Pretty much the same situation here in NOVA, except you can't find anything in 12 or 20 ga. target; its all mostly steel waterfowl loads or #4-#6 lead if they have it at all.

I’m in the market for several bags of #4 and #6 shot and I found some but the shipping from AL is stupid expensive . The guy uses UPS only and six bags of shot we’re going to be $150 for the shipping alone . You could put it in three USPS Priority boxes and it would be $60 but you run the risk of it all disappearing in some deep dark hole in a Mail distribution center .
