Just to give y'all a heads up, Smalltown hunting put on their social media that Apex will be back in stock tomorrow at 12:00pm. Now y'all go easy and let me make sure i get a box or two before they're all sold out again haha.
Bump. Y'all get it while the gettins good.
Website just went live!! Better hurry.
Hope yall were luckier than me. Added a box of GT to cart before i could checkout they were sold out. Went back and added 2 boxes of stb and when i confirmed payme t got response they were already sold out. Thats kind of ridiculous. I u derstand if everyome is getting a box or 2 but there must be some tss hoarders out there!!
410 was even sold out by 1:10
Added boxes of GT20, sold out before i was done so i got three boxes of small town blend in 20.
Sold out before I could pay had them in cart they were for some Preacher friends of mine. Oh well dad that they don't take em out of their online inventory when you put them in your cart.

Same happened to me. But by the grace of God i just checked macks and they had 9 boxes left in stock. Put 2 boxes of 8s in my cart and by the time i checked out they only had 1 box, so had to go back update cart then checkout again. I just knew i was late again, but order went through! So i now habe 5 TSS shells on the way lol.
I think all the 20ga stuff sold out in 2-3 minutes...i lucked out and snagged 3 boxes from Macks!
Yup, I knew it would go that fast.
no one with busy day jobs can keep up with these shells if they are going to take weeks to get stock in that lasts minutes

Agreed. By the time I remembered to check everything was sold out minus the mini cannon loads i.e. 10 gauge.

The same here! You know after they sent the email stating the website was going to be restocked, everybody had their browsers open waiting on the exact minute the shells showed they were in stock. Just nuts! Haha!

It's not the end of the world I got HWs but when they initially announced the shells i foolishing figured sure grab some federals at Cabela's with my points for free and box of apex compare em all and know what I'll be shooting next year. Well it's definitely going to be a next year plan it looks like just crazy that federal couldn't figure out the whole demand thing better.

I have a feeling Winchester and Enviro metal notice the demand.. and will be in the TSS game by the 2019 season.....

Or slow internet. I set a reminder and was on the site at noon and didnt checkout fast enough. Id like to know how many they had in stock just to see how many sold in 2 minutes.
Well i just hope they saved some for all of the boxes that have been recalled, seems wrong to be selling out of product when you have a 6 month of a recalled product to cover. This has left a bad taste in my mouth recalling a load three days before my season starts and with no product to cover the recall! i have had my shells for 5 months waiting to try them when i heard of problem with the shot and they are selling out and leaving people that brought shot months ago empty handed!

Sure they can. It is simple to load them. If everyone took advantage of tss years ago then they would not be fighting to buy very limited supplies from manufactures.

I've been seeing a few posts and pictures of blown barrels on FB. From Apex shells. Maybe that's the recall? Bubba

If you have the equipment
I wasn't aware that heavy weights were going to go out and their replacement wasn't going to be available either or I might have considered that option.

I was lucky and got 500 rounds of hollow point and 1,000 lead target round nose 22s before they were gone.
Wait, what are we talking about?

I would be very surprised if not.
Haha some guys on Fb posted they bought six or eight boxes of tss 20's and one guy said he bought some 12's too but wasn't sure why basically! Just like everything else if you think you can't have it or get it then you want it even more! Hope this don't carry over to the lead shells at wal mart and academy!!????
I'm glad I load my own.
I been on Nitro list since February 6th, I ordered earlier then I normally do thinking to beat the storm. But if I ordered around 10days later they posted out of components. So I waited and waited, got a call Monday. That they had a receipt from Customs on a shipment of TSS and I would be receiving my order sometime next week. So I was able to up my order to a 25rd box of 20ga, I imagine most of these tss shipments are presold considering I'm from February and now they telling folks mid April if you order. Been a wild ride trying to secure some loaded TSS. I do have 5 Apex #9s to get me by till my Nitro comes through. Ga Season for Adults is next weekend. So I might recieve mine just in time.
they should have limited to say 3 boxes? Mike
Where are you seeing that they have a recall on ammo?
I just checked their Facebook page all the way back to January 20th and I see no information about a recall there.
There's also no mention of it on their website or in any email from their newsletters I've received since labor day.
I bought 20 boxes of 10 gauge figured that will last me 3 years with all the birds I kill

Self destruction in magazine and a blown barrel. Nitro has had issues for high pressure for years but Apex seems like with the demand QC has dropped and multiple explosions have been happening fairly quick.
I hope we don't see a lot of injuries this spring.

Not good
I've heard of 5 barrels but only seen 2. Both cases I saw was the small town blend. But Apex wouldn't have recalled some if they knew something wasn't right. Either way with so much demand, one cut corner could result in bad things. Nitro has been out for years and you occasionally hear of issues. Apex is new and having so many so quick I'd be nervous. Especially if they sold so much yesterday, just seems problematic trying to meet such high demands under such shortages.
i am getting concerned about it as well, i dont know if i would buy anymore ok im going a getting all longbeard 20 gauge i can find because before you know it its all gone
i have 3 boxes of gt-20 20 gauge 3" 15/8 oz 9s i will sale for 70.00 a box if anyone wants any

I yearn for the old days when I shot Winchester XX Magnums and Fderal Preminums, killed turkelys and worried only how I was going to get him inside 30 yards. Those were the days.

He really did put it up for sale. I just saw it in the turkey ammo for sale forum, lol.
Am I mistaken or didn't their website say that they would be in stock on the 15th ?
I'm moving on....maybe it saved me from a barrel blowing up in my face.
I wonder what kind of real risk exists, verse what is a mishap on the shooters fault etc. not saying it is though. I'd like to hear apex comment on it
Man my 10 gauge is now an 8 gauge after shooting the new apex 4" 11's

This TSS stuff is getting so weird. It's going to be interesting how this all plays out over the next month.
