Ammo links/buys

I'm getting concerned about trap and skeet ammo of all things, it's always been available even when popular rifle/pistol stuff was hard to get. I guess a lot of the new gun owners bought scatterguns.

If I scrounge around, I likely have enough reloads and old factory stuff to get through league this year, but there won't be any left for fun day shoots.

That, and about half the guys on my team buy as needed over the counter at the gun club. I don't know right now how their stockpile is, or prices.

What I have seen is that the high grade AA/Gold Medal stuff is unobtanium, and what economy stuff is out there is $10/box or more. This could put a real dent in the sport, which is sad because it's become a popular high school sport around here the last few years and helping to make another generation of shooting sports fans.

Yep. 12g and 20g shells are still fairly common here (and on the webs) though (relatively speaking). What's almost impossible to find, and EXPENSIVE when found is 410 bore of all things. Only the super exxpensive, gimmicky "defense" rounds are anywhere to be found in 410 bore. The most prevalent shotgun ammo in stores here is 28g. I've never seen so much 28g in my life. Shit's everywhere........'cause nobody fuckin shoots it.

And 410 ammo was something I hardly cared about until recently. With youngins wanting to choot, and with farm vermin (rats, foxes, etc) about, I now have use for .410 shells. Gave a buddy's son almost all my loaded 410's, and all my empty 410 hulls many years ago as I wasn't chooting 410. Now I am scrounging for 410 hulls. Any of you's guys have good useable 410 hulls you'd part with? Mostly needing 2.5", but 3" be welcome as well. T1 dated a girl....

Range planned ahead for the youth shooting here, but they're $7/box.
