    No problem. That was literally the only ammo item they actually had in stock. I see even bear Creek arsenal even series 5.56 and 7.62x39 ammo. They never did previously. However, they are charging a dollar a round for the Russian steel case fmj, which is ridiculous.

    If you look at Target Sports, they still have their early 2020 prices listed along with "not in stock".

    My son shoots on a sporting clays team. Shells are almost impossible to find. Saw this fine deal though. :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol: Screenshot_20210218-191139_Samsung Internet.jpg

    And yes, that's PER BOX

    Im rather good on the common calibers. :emb:
    Never thought shotshells would be as scarce as they are. But that was my problem...I didn't think:headbang:

    Oh boy!

    My cutting buddy's daughter is on the trap league with him. They bought extra cases of shells last year in a group rate, and then their season was cancelled last year. So he's good for this year.

    He asked me if I wanted to join. I told him only if I can use my AR-47. Lol

    Federal offered youth teams a group rate/ buy. His team put in for it but haven't heard anything and federal can't tell us where we are in line and if we're going to get our order filled.
    The coach ordered some through winchester's team program. I believe it will be alot less than what we could of gotten through federal. I'm scrounging.

    410 shotgun or Derringer? I’ve been thinking about a 410 Derringer for the novelty of it, and obviously compatibility with 45 is a plus.

    Holy Moley!! I had no idea that shotshells are off the shelves like that too!! Maybe its’ time to revert to wrist rocket slingshots with rocks and tin cans for targets?

    Question? I was watching a movie last night, FBI were ambushed so the hid behind a car, pulled out pistols and shot back. What about hearing protection/hearing loss in those type of professions? My husband has hearing loss from shooting all these years without ear protection. He still refuses :headbang: Another scene a lady was near a car that blew up, thrown backwards to the ground and knocked out for a bit, woke up with ears ringing, does that kind of stuff cause hearing loss in real life?

    It all adds up. Shooting, chainsaws, heavy equipment, concerts, fireworks... eventually take their toll.

    Careful there, your wrongthink will get us all into trouble.
    But back to what I originally said, it does add up. I have my hearing checked periodically through work and I've seen how it's gotten worse over the years.

    Every once in a while I check Ammoseek to see what is now available in 9mm. I have noticed more is available but still at high prices. I wonder how long it will take for prices to come back down as supply increases.
