Title: Waterfowl ammo shortage
Post by: vandeman17 on December 31, 2020, 03:48:31 PM
Where are guys finding shotgun shells these days? Every dang store in the Wenatchee valley is sold out of all 12 gauge 3” shells. Most online retailers are out of stock as well. I am down to my last box and with the way I shoot, that should be good for a duck or two

Sounds like your going to have to be a little more selective on your shots!

What shortage, I roll my own. But I do have close too two cases of factory. My daughter found 4 boxes of 3” #1s for $20 at a garage sale.

Glad you found some, not sure why Rogers is showing out of stock for you. They have tons of 3” stuff in stock.

I have a spare case of 3" #2 Hevisteel. I'd sell them for what I paid for them. I am in Shelton.

I am in Olympia and have a decent mixture of 12 gauge steel shot I could part with. I’d have to look to see what shot sizes I have, but it’s mostly, if not all, 3”.

I found a couple boxes of hevi shot and gave them out as “stocking” stuffers at Christmas.  Santa about croaked.

If you live in Wenatchee don’t forget to give Quincy hardware a call they sell out sometimes but typically have a good selection.

I went to Wal Mart today and purchased another 10 boxes.  They had probably 8 cases worth of Winchester Xpert shells.  I picked up the 3", #3, 1550 fps loads.  I shoot them good and very consistent with them.  Other spot that had them was Rogers Sporting Goods and they ship right to your door.

Good to know! I will check and see.
