Ridiculous

[kbaxter60]

I went to Cabelas in Allen Yesterday and they had so little of anything firearms related they had to rearrange the entire area.

I bet they're getting pretty used to saying "Just put that rack of camo in there."

I don’t hunt, non lead shot is recquired for hunting in Texas?

Even our Cabelas has only 3 shelves w shotgun shells (as opposed to 8 prior)

Only for waterfowl. Lead is fine for dove and quail. I think the non-lead for waterfowl started as a federal thing, but not 100% sure.

That is correct.

Hmmm, I may have to sell some dove loads. Bound to be lead.

Unreal.
BBs and CO2 cartridges are unobtanium?

Strange days indeed.

They should be at least a little better than sharp sticks.

Someone on this forum once said that they'd use sticks and rocks before they'd ever buy anything from CTD again. I loved that line and have used it since.

Crossbows will disappear next.

"air soft"? Why shoot something like that? I prefer the real thing! Reminds me of "BB" guns.

I just ordered 100lb. of reclaimed shot from ROTOMETALS.
I have a few hundred pounds from years ago but since they still have some......

Just had to order more!!!

So you reload shotgun shells?

I ordered 50lb of #7 shot from Rotometals about this time last year. I think it was only like $110 or $117 (shipping included in a USPS Priority Mail box). My postmaster noted that they had pushed that service to it's extreme!

Edit: Looks like it is still about the same price... https://www.rotometals.com/west-coast-magnum-shot-lead-2-25-bags-50-lbs-size-4-9-freight-included/

As my only intention for the shot is only to load full brass .410 shells by hand using foam wads and cardboard shotcards punched from waste and ends sealed with Elmers Glue, mainly for use on squirrels around the house, 50 lbs should last awhile.

I have a LEE LOAD-ALL for 12 and 20 gauge. (one loader with a conversion kit)

I have a MEC 600 Jr for .410 bore.

I do have a Remington 11-48 in 28 gauge but I never got a reloader for that.

Yes, steel shot is federal requirement for waterfowl since 90’? Either way a long time..

I just stocked up on cheaper arrows.... figure I’ll try to duck hunt like Tim wells with my bow

 

[ZX9RCAM]

I have a few boxes of #8 Lead 12 gauge, few steel buckshot, few slugs also.

I have a few boxes of 12 gauge lead #8, lead slugs, and buck shot (steel and lead).

Welcome to the Forum!

I guess I did okay then today at Wally World when I picked up three 25 rd boxes of Winchester 12 gauge, 2.75", #8 shot. They had a few boxes more. Now that I have seen this thread, I may go back for the rest tomorrow and buy it if still there. I don't have all that much bird shot on hand so any additional is a good thing I suppose.

Ammo is ammo in these times.

I unwittingly stocked up on Co2 cartridges back in 2013. I saw boxes of 25 at Wal Mart, that may have been mis-marked, for $5.56. Scarfed up several boxes. I see they are over $18 now on Amazon. My inventory record shows I still have about 115 cartridges and around 4000 BBs, and 2000 .177 pellets. I need to start shooting some.
