Title: Winchester Double X #5 shot
Post by: Here turkey turkey turkey on March 07, 2020, 03:01:19 AM
Has anyone seen these up for sale anywhere? A while back I looked at Midway, Cabela's and Basspro and could not find any on the web for a decent price.

When I ordered them for the shop this year they were actually more than the longbeard xr.  I would be willing to bet that they will be discontinued in the next few years

Shoot! I guess I may have to find a different kind then, I only have 3 shells left. Why would they quit making a shell like that?

Because they're pushing the longbeards.

I've had trouble finding the 2oz 3" double x. I've got a local guy checking some suppliers but I've about give up on them.

I was just in our local Walmart and they did in deed have the 3 inch 1 3/4 oz 4's and 5's.  Also they had the 3 1/2" 2 oz. 4's and 5's.
