Well folks the metals market says so. I literally watched my local GS mark up all of their hevi shot products by 10-12 dollars a box. 20ga 3 inch 7's went from 11.89 to 19.99 a box, you can only guess how much the 3 and 3 1/2's went up. I for one am done with the whole hevi shot and high price garbage.
If they were selling HS for less than 12/box I wish I would have known, cause I would have bought it by the pallet load. 20/box is more inline with every other store.

Yeah, those boxes of 20 ga 3 inch shells for 11.89 was sweet while it lasted. But you'd choke if you seen what they are all marked up to now.
Just checked my inventory.
7 boxes of Hevi 2.25 oz #7's lot # 300324 (Good ones)
5 boxes of Hevi 20 ga Blends
2 boxes of Hevi 20 ga 1.25 oz #7's
1 box of Fed Hvy 20 ga #7's
Ordered 5 more boxes of 20 ga Fed Hvy #7's to go with what I have. All of my paper shooting will be with lead to check POI. The good stuff will be for birds only from now on.
cabelas still has them on sale just FYI.
I have enough to last me a few years but man I hope it comes back down at somepoint.
I know I purchased some Hevi-13 3.5 loads on line about 2 weeks ago for 19.99 a box and free shipping.
Looked a couple days later at the same site, same exact load, and the price went to 28.99?

I bought them from a couple of places. Most were bought in late 2010 or early 2011. You won't find that lot anymore unless some mom & pop sporting goods store has some collecting dust.
well I'm through with them after my stash runs out,back to lead I go
I just got 2 boxes of 7's before they went up.

That is exactly what i am doing now. I just cannot justify the cost of those shells, i have a few left incase i do some hunting in fields but where i will be this year almost all shots will taken at 30 or less.
I ordered 7 boxes of 3.5 Hevi 6's from Dunn's a couple weeks ago for $18.29 a box.

You should see what they want for them now lol, They had the best prices in any type of hevi shot, heavy weight feds or win extended ranges. But i understand they gotta do what they need to do to stay in business. Those are some good guys down there, they always treat me good.
Just bought 7 boxes of 6s for 24.99 a box.
We'll have to see where things go from here
I just looked at Dunn's site and they are still showing $18.29 for the 3.5 inch 6's.

They must not update it often, that or its an online special. I can assure you the price in store is no longer 18.29.
I gotcha. I didn't realize that you were in the store. I would say go online and stock up!
If it keeps going up I WILL be switching!

No biggie man, just sad to see good products get outta reach for alot of us.
Had lunch at Cabela's here in Lacey WA yesterday and bought three boxes for $19.99 each. All 3 inch (2 mag blend and 1 #7 shot). They are already marking them down as the season gets closer.
Ordered some from Dunn's last night for 18.29 a box
I have a place locally that has about 10 boxes of the 3.5" Hevi-13 2.25oz #6's for $18.99 a box. I may just have to stock up and eventually switch from 7's to 6's for that price. What do you guys think?

Yeah...I normally shoot the #7's, but I stumbled upon on a handful of 3-2-6 boxes and a couple 3.5-2.25-6 boxes that were mixed in and tagged with the lighter payload versions. They were on sale for $14.99 and $16.99, respectively. It's a good thing for me the boxes look almost identical, and the kid slapping the price tags on 'em couldn't tell. :D
