If you can buy it at all right now, it's a deal. :D

Buckshot and shotguns are weird. Overall the Remington reduced recoil stuff gets good reports, even though I am generally leery of any RR shotgun load. One of my old THR kids hunts deer in Canada with a Mossberg Shockwave using this load and it will break leg bones on the off side. He holds his shots to within 40 yards IIRC. His username was BroBeeBiter if I remember and you want to look for his videos.

The Federal LE132-00 is the RR version of my favorite load, LE127-00 full velocity version. Fderal 00-Buck with Flite Control Wad: LE127-00 vs PFC154-00

Flite Control is amazing stuff.

If ya ain't go it and ya need it, that's an awesome price. If you have....enough....you don't see the point of that price.

What a bunch won't realize is that having a pump shotty and an ample supply of 00 is probably going to be how we'll end up in this forsaken country. I planned accordingly.

I like Estate 00. Patterned well and tended to shred things that it hit. It was cheap in the 'day' too.

I LOVED the old Texas made Estate 00. When Federal bought them out I called the office in TX and cried with the girls there who were losing their jobs.

Federal took a great cheap simple buckshot load and ruined it. What was it, $3.25 for a box of 10 at retail?

I wrote it all up on THR back in the day....

Roll crimped - sometimes disturbs patterns with the overshot wad. I try to stay away from it. Nickle plated pellets was a Fiocchi thing, they seem to work pretty well. Zinc plated steel case heads will cause digestive issues in some shotguns, they can get sticky in the chamber sometimes.

1425 FPS is a bit faster than usual full velocity loads.

Me, I'd buy 50 rounds and heat up a gun or two with it before I bought a case. The Rolling Thunder drill puts you through 15 rounds as fast as you can load and shoot, if the gun still runs after that it is OK with that load. The middle of a firefight is a bad time to have your gun lock up on you.

Something that can be kept on your person, at all times, is apt to be a good thing too.

Never looked before but a few places have a 00 buckshot with 12 pellets

30-30 you want to chase your walmarts or academy delivery days if you want the old price of around a dollar a round. You should be able to find it for a few bucks a round if you have to have some.

ammoseek search engine. Use it often. Learn how things come in stock and how fast they go right back out of stock. It does not find all ammo out there on the net but it searches a lot of places very quickly and you can narrow searches down to whatever you want.

No. IMO you just about have to do a little range time on a regular basis just to keep up the familiarity with each weapon. Doing this to me seems to keep accuracy within acceptable limits. And doing this uses ammo. This shortage is supposed to last the entire Bai Den time in office (or Harris, which could be forever), and many people hoarding for the election did not hoard enough.

I was at an ammo dealer a few days ago, he complained about people hoarding, then later on in the conversation he said he's stocked up 4,000 rounds of 40 S&W and can shoot all he wants.

Good to see stuff beginning to appear for sale again. Pricey for sure, but better than unavailable. Wherever we are going politically, that stuff will be needed.

Just got home from the local WM, what a day.

Lots of shotty stuff in all the right gauges. I got a box of Fed 20g 7.5 HB, a Winchester 100 rd box of 12g #8 and a 325 rd of 22LR (that's better than cash right there). Prices were up a bit but nothing major. Shocked to see the 100 round box - they had two. Had the wife go up and get the other box of 20g they had, now my single shot will be feed nicely for awhile.

Good supply of other shotty stuff, mostly Win AA in boxes of 25. Either way, if you were there, and many weren't, you could walk out with three nice boxes of ammo.

Also noted that canning jars are in the stores and remaining there, maybe the run on canning jars is over. Of course, not a lid to be seen.

"But it's factory ammo!"

"Factory" ammo may not mean the same thing, depending on which factory we're talking about. Some of the most disappointing ammo I'd tried thus far was from a factory. The 124gr Sumbro FMJ ammunition I ran through my M&P9 back in 2015 or so had an extreme spread of 89.2 feet per second. In other words, out of ten rounds that were, not just from the same lot number, but the same box, the slowest round was doing 1,069fps while the fastest was almost a hundred feet per second faster, at 1,158.

The Macedonian ammo maker may not have covered themselves with glory, there, but last Friday I had a box of Turkish Sarsilmaz 124gr FMJ that effectively said "biramı tut".

This is obviously some definition of "professional performance" with which I was previously unfamiliar.

No, you are not misreading terrible handwriting. A ten round string fired from a single magazine in a Shield Plus had a velocity spread only a hair less than 180fps.

Yikes. I think they are having issues with their kalite kontrolü.
