Title: Duck Loads
Post by: h2ofowlr on August 24, 2022, 11:24:32 AM
Shouldn't be a shortage on duck loads this season.  Seeing lots and lots of duck & goose loads shipping into all the stores.  I still picked up 6 cases to be on the safe side for this season.

It's starting to come in pretty good currently as long as you don't shoot a short mag.  Trying to find .300 WSM is nearly impossible currently.

That should get you comfortably through opening weekend.  :tup:

If you have an extra arm and a leg choice ammunition has some cool loads and a bunch in stock

I don't worry about waterfowl ammo; I load my own. From 20ga 2 3/4, 3", 12ga 2 3/4, 3" 3 1/2 and 10ga. And I've been known to load 410 and 28 nontoxic for our feathered friends.

I need to learn how to do this. I hunt with older 16ga guns most of the time, and sometimes a 75 year old 20ga  - all 2-3/4". It's sometimes very difficult finding the right shells for the 16's, especially in the configuration I want. I really want to learn to reload non-toxic shot for all of them, old 12ga guns, also.
