I bought most of a case of 1 oz Winchester 16's recently. The recoil is a little stiff but they work

The 1oz Winchester loads are pretty easy to find online they are currently around $150/case, I am seeing them in #6 and #8 shot.

Remember, you have to add that to the Cost of the shells.

They're out there for much less than $150 a flat, shipped and with tax. Get a teen to do the search. No joke.

Lowest today is the 1oz Federals, free shipping for members or $20 for non members.

“Good Samaritans” = opportunists.

Remington dove and quail 16 gauge 1oz loads actually measure 21/4" unfired and 21/2" fired. I have shot them in damascus and fluid steel guns. Perfectly safe and you can find them at Walmart for $7.79 per box.

Alas, there are no shotgun shells of any kind at our local stores. I'm glad I don't shoot that much and have a fair stash of RSTs.

Could this be a good side to low bird numbers?

Or conversely, as Frank Zappa put it, "Could this be Phase 1 of Lumpy Gravy?"
