Turkey Ammo

What are you guy's hearing and seeing about the availability of turkey ammo this coming spring ? I was at 2 big gun stores yesterday and they didn't have much at all... neither store had any 20 gauge or 410 in regular field loads at all...I think this spring is going to be worst than last year in finding some brands of shotgun ammo. As turkey hunters i know most of us have good supply of ammo..

It seems to pop up every now and then on the web sites.  I have enough 12 and 410 TSS for a lifetime now I think.  Field loads a good question.  I don't remember the last time I saw any 410 field loads in a store.

I predict this will be a repeat of the tss shortage of 2019? I think that was the year.

Looking grim, I just scored some light target game loads at wally world yesterday.  I may go through my old ammo I don't use and sell it, have quite a bit of old lead turkey loads.

I saw some 20ga long beards at a big r the other day, and check gunbroker, think I saw some long beards there. A local gun shop that had virtually no ammo had some old Remington turkey loads.

Fortunately I have enough components to load about 50 hand loads and have another 15 or so already loaded.

Luckily, I had a couple of boxes of WLB #6's for last season.   I haven't seen any on the shelves locally for a   LONG time.  I'd like to spend some time patterning a new choke, but I'm afraid if I do, I may not have enough shells left for the season.   Sigh.

I have a full box of five Apex 20 gauge 1 5/8oz #9s I would let go for $40 plus whatever shipping and PayPal fees is based on buyer’s zip code. I have a small box to ship via FedEx with ordinance label.

 If you have them that's great, if not, order now.

 Had mine in a week after order placed, and was told components were an issue. That was 6 or 7 weeks ago.

 But, some will complain of cost, and not order, then, complain of lack of product. Hopefully, this keeps some of the last minute guys out of the woods. A benefit to all turkey killers.

As has been mentioned before a big concern with this high priced limited ammo is that few will pattern before hunting.  Over the years I've seen some new "super loads" that were worthless.

I heard from some munitions guys that they're having an extremely hard time sourcing tungsten for their company, so I don't know if that will hold true across the board.

    The walmart near me has no Ammo at all. I have older Ammo though.

I got some for Christmas.  Finding it in the stores is a challenge.  Order early.

I tried to find some 20ga numbers 6’s to take my son squirrel at the beginning of 2021. My gosh I couldn’t hardly find anything in 20 ga.

Yup, when I see 20g or .410 I snag up a box or two. I’ve had good luck every now and then at Walmart. You just need to know when they restock. I think mine is Mondays and Fridays

Couldn't even locate any 20 gauge squirrel loads today at our couple of local stores. 4 5 or 6s. Slim pickins fellers.
