I came in cases at Academy stores a few weeks ago and sold out quickly. They are supposed to get more soon.  March 15 seems to be the magic in stock day for most retail brands of shells.

Ask someone at your local retailers when their ammo gets shipped in, check often.

Ammo is catching up a little finally, but I bet turkey loads are flying off the shelves.

Several shops have them here. Most of the hunters in my area reload or get from people that reload.

Very few available. I have stopped at 6 diff Academy and the 2 Bass Pro in GA.  Saw some 3.5 #4 and 1 box of 3in #5 (which I grabbed for backup). I am looking for the 3in 1 7/8 #6 and have seen no #6 at all anywhere. It's a shame bc Walmart used to carry every option of LBXR for a great price. It's weird bc there is not a shortage of anything except turkey ammo right now which there should be an abundance of this time of year.

I shoot the slower 3.5" 2 1/8oz. #5's and the last time I found them was last year at this time.  Glad I bought a case back then or I'd be sweating it.

I've seen a good many 3" and the faster 3.5" 2 oz. loads around her in northeast Alabama.

I have a Moss 835 (3.5") and a Moss 930 (3"). I had been looking for some LB 3" 6s but have given up...can't find them. Doesn't matter...have plenty of LB 3.5" 5s and 6s to last quite awhile. They'll do fine. Have yet to feel the extra thump on the shoulder when shooting a turkey.

$24.99 Basspro up from $21.99 last spring. 

Noticed BP getting shipments in online but got to check several times daily to get an order in before they run out. Saw 3.5" #6s last week, 3" #5 this week and still have #4s.

Anyone seen XR's in 20 gauge online? Only place I see any availability is Cabelas for $24.99 but its only 12 gauge. None of my local stores carry 20 gauge.

I found some on Gun Broker for $35 with shipping. Not a great price but at least I'll get some and if all goes well one box will last me another three years. AmmoSeek had some for the same price that I tried to order and by the time I entered my CC info , they were sold out.

The lack of longbeards is just bizarre at this point... turkey season is here and I've seen very little stock and none of what I shoot for almost a year now.
