Title: Win. XX (Red Shell) ???
Post by: jonhaga on March 17, 2012, 09:35:47 PM
Just wondering if these shells are harder to find for everyone else. All I seem to find is the HV shell anymore?

There is only one place around me that has the Win XX 3.5 2 1/4oz loads, they have very limited amounts of them and told me they wont order anymore because they cant sell lead anymore but yet their shelves are packed full of Hevi-13 and i never see anyone in there buying it....

Really? I just called my local Walmart and they said they won't carry Hevy because it's way to expensive.

Same here....my 835 likes the XX 3.5/2.25/4 very well but they are getting scarce.  HV seem to be the most commonly stocked lead load.

The Cabelas by me has the 3.5 2 1/4oz shells in 4,5,6 by the boat load but
They want 20.99 a box. They can keep'em for that price!

Yeah they are harder to find.  The only place I found them was Bass Pro in Columbia, MO.  Pick up a couple boxes while I was there.

That is where I found them as well, fortunately the house is only 4 miles from Bass Pro  ;D

I also found them at Bass Pro in Oklahoma City last week.  They also had a discount on them.

BTW, I grew up in Callaway county, south of Fulton.  I got my BS from Mizzou, so I come back and visit some.  Not just a random trip for shotgun shells! :)
