Not sure where you're located, but the little gun shop off of Meridian in Edgewood had a bunch when I was in there the other day. Seemed spendy to me, but in stock if you're still looking.

The old Kesselrings on old 99 had ammo two weeks ago. My buddy and I bought a 10 box case and split it. About $8 a box . For 3 inch Ultimates.

Are they back in business? At the same old location? I really miss that shop. They had a fantastic inventory of older shotguns. The old man was a great guy.

I went to Sportsmans Warehouse Federal Way, Sportco in Fife and Bass Pro Shop in Tacoma and they were all out of shotgun ammo for turkey hunting. Online is the way to go right now.
On the bright side, lots of 9mm, .223, .308 and 7.62 x 39 ammo were available this past weekend.

If you're as bad at turkey hunting as me, one box will last you years!

I picked up a couple boxes of longbeard XR at Skagit Arms last fall. Scrambled a bit last year so...

Been seeing turkey ammo at most places I have stopped at and looked.  They might just be receiving it now in some cases.  Worst case scenario pick up a box of phesant loads 1-1/4 oz #5 or #6.  They work good.

Tons of turkey ammo was in Nashville from Thursday-Saturday.  Going out like crazy.  Day one 12ga. was sold out within 2 hours of the show opening but they had some coming in.  Federal, Winchester and Apex to name a few.  Found out I could bring 11 lbs if I put it in my checked bag.  I didnt need any though.

Not really, Donny K. Is there and is selling everything but firearms. Someone else in there has a FFL and selling a few guns. Nothing to write home about. I think they call it Primal Arms or something like that. :dunno:

Widwayusa has a small selection. Prices are higher, but it’s available.
