Prediction ...

Apparently,  as I had predicted ...the munitions and Defence industry is marketing Tungsten or Tungsten matrix shot (#6) shotgun shells as a anti drone medicine

Berreta,  parent company of several shotgun companies (and norma ammo) has a glorified M-4 with a bunch bell's and whistles on it.  And will predictably be selling that in lucrative defense contracts GLOBALLY,  within a short time frame every defense conglomerate will have their versions trying to rope in contracts...probably with sizable Tungsten shell logistics contracts

Once this starts to take grip, and it will...it will likely dwindle the civilian Tungsten shot supply permanently...and the price will sky rocket

Military contracts are huge

This will complicate things as the bulk of tss is imported from China , some other smaller sources elsewhere....china trade  tariffs have allready stated to take effect  this month

Most, if not all, could easily go back to lead in their 12ga.  The little guns will take the TSS hit.  It will doom the .410 and 28.  Last Sunday I did my annual red dot sight in check shooting one Apex Ninja through the .410.  Thankfully it was still on.  It was $8.00 well spent.  If the price doubles it would be $16.00 well spent.  I'm still of the opinion that few new hunters spend the money to properly test TSS loads at various ranges now.  They rely strictly on the hyped up reports they are reading about.  Going to be interesting.

I've already got enough sub gauge TSS to last the rest of my lifetime along with other turkey ammo.
My son and grandsons will be taken care of in the future... LOL

Never wait until you need ammo to buy ammo especially turkey ammo along with other ammo ... IMO

Same for me.  And if I had to go back to the 12 and copper plated 6s, that's fine with me.  I have enough of them to last me two lifetimes. 

The reality is, nothing is going to get cheaper. The best we can hope for is that prices stabilize a bit.
