I just called one of the biggest suppliers in Michigan of reloading componets and they have no shot at all. It was supposed to be in yesterday but nothing yet. When asked the price I was rudly told it couldn't be determined untill after delivery. I doubt I'd buy from them now.

hmm - at the current prices, and the fact nothing hangs around tying up inventory dollars.

one would wonder why they would not be happy.

might be they get tried of the calls, but heck, that's their business


I have not looked for shot in the stores yet (I have looked in the garage but still can't find those copper 6's)

Sunday is the last day for members of my skeet and trap club to place orders for components. We have not had any problem receiving everything ordered. We'll see what happens this time and what the prices are.

Just put in a order to Dawsons [ in Ohio ] - couldn't get 700X or Universal Clays but they had everything other than that. Shot was 40.50/bag [ over 80 bags for that price ] - they even had small rifle and pistol primers. Promo, what I use, was $80/8lbs - Cheddites were 108/5000 - most wads in the $80/5000 range. Our club is still doing ok. For shotgun reloading there has been no shortage or rip off in prices.

Odd, the local hobby business that supports my gun club orders from Dawson's. He had 240 bags of shot on backorder for several months and received only 33 bags and only 9's. They told him no more shot until November at the earliest.

Don't know what to tell you - all I know is we've always got what we've wanted from Dawsons. There's a new guy making shot - he shows up at the Michigan Trap Shooting grounds - sells shot for about the same price only it comes in a bucket. I don't know a whole lot about him seeing how I don't attend the shoots, only what a friend tells me. My understanding is that he bought a old shot tower and got it going again.

I just called the rude Michigan supplier and the new batch of shot that just came in is $41.50/bag. At a small gun shop yesterday and it was $49.99. I can waite as my clay target season is coming to a close once bird season opens.

I paid $49.00 at a local shop, but I like the guy. He showed me his invoice and he's paying more wholesale than a lot of you are paying, retail. It's all based on volume, I spose. KTP charges $49, and I'm sure they move a lot more than my guy.

Stopped in Johnson's just north of Adrian, MI today and they had quite a bit of shot on hand. I think the guy said it was $42 and change a bag.
