Got two boxes of 6s from Cabela's yesterday and Bass Pro Got theirs in and should ship today!!!!!!!

Ordered in January from Bass . Winchester doesn't know just how I feel about getting these shells as our season closes 4/30.

Poor poor poor on their part. I think I might have a day to get my $2 per box rebate in.  Skru it .

I'm not certain all the blame is on Winchester. It does suck that those up north, myself included, get to try them during the season while the southern states got screwed a bit but I'm thinking supply and demand has a bit to do with it. People had them some time ago as they trickled into the market and the supply hasn't caught up with demand even still. The 12 ga has a larger following in the turkey woods than any other gauge so it only makes sense that they produce those first. It's a lot like the 22 LR vs 22 WMR thing to me. The time lost manufacturing LR doesn't compensate for the gain in cost of the WMR at this point.
