My wife and I had a Dr. appoitment in Jackson today, so, while we were there I wanted to go to Bass Pro to finally take the plunge and buy a box Federal Heavyweight #7's.
Get there and browse the shot shell section, and absolutley no Federal shells of any kind out. Ok, so I go and look for my other alternative, Hevi-Shot #7's. The only ones that they had were the magnum blend of 5,6, 7's (the ones that advertise a killing range of 75 yds in the catalog ::)).
I personally wasn't happy with the small selection that they had. I could only find Hevi-Shot #6's at another store. I hope this will pattern well. My gun likes the #5 shot for a good even pattern. Hope these six's will work.
Van's Sporting Goods is about 10 miles from BP and has a better selection of pretty much everything. They stock Nitro's also
Re-read your post and realized you are from Cleveland so going back to Van's isnt realistic. I ordered Hevy 13 #7 from cheaper than dirt. Arrived in a few days. Probably have the federal too. Good luck
wasting your time looking for Federal HW or Hevi #7's at bass pro,they never carry them,at least not in pearl
Bass Pro never has anything I want. I buy all my ammo online.

That's the truth :TooFunny:
You might try your local gun shop. If they don't have it ask them to order some for you.
I went on a little ammo scouting mission today,the report is pitiful
BPS is pathetic ....nothing to amount to anything
Van's ......not much better,had plenty of Magblends,Hevi #6's and 5's in 3" and 3.5",saw some 3.5" 1-3/4oz#6's if anybody wanted some of the older light loads as I called them
Outfitters .......some 2-3/4" hevi #5's,3" #6's,5's,and4's.....3.5" #6's,5's,and 4's
they did have a few boxes of 3"-2oz-#7's if anybody is looking for some

Vans has Nitros behind the counter in 20 ga (4,5,7) and 12 ga both 3" and 3.5". In 12ga they have 4,5,7 and straight 7

don't buy nitro's,cost way more money than I'm going to spend on a shotgun shell
