Turkey Loads Online Availability?

[BDeal]

Is anyone having any luck finding turkey loads online? I'm looking for Longbeard XR #6 2oz and #6 1 3/4 oz and cannot find any locally or online. Hopefully I can find at least one box of each prior to my first hunt in early May.

Thank you!

Midway USA had some Hevi-13 in stock a couple of weeks ago.  You may want to try there and see if they have what you need.

Mack's Prairie Wing has Hevi shot and TSS. But Longbeard is out of stock.

Walmart normally carries them.  They have started putting their Turkey stuff out but as of yesterday I saw ZERO Turkey ammo.  No Longbeards or Double XX loads, that are on their shelves every spring.  Their cupboards are bare except for a couple of boxes of dove loads.  This year, IMO, ALL ammo is going to be very hard to find.

I just got some of Hal Abbot's Super shots 9's off his site.

This.  Some hunters may have to use a different brand/type of turkey load this year because their preferred load might be unavailable.  Better to have something to shoot, than nothing at all.

      I got several boxes of Longbeard XR's from Gander Mountain a few weeks ago.

If you don't have any luck let me know I have some Remington Nitro Turkeys and some Kent Turkey Diamond Shot. I would be willing to help you out with

I found some winchester long beards friday at one of our local gun stores , he's about 30 mile drive form my house and he had all the brands in stock of both 12 and 20 ga. and several boxes. But he was only letting people have one box per caliber.  I've got enough turkey ammo for lifetime ..LOL.. i turkey shop all year long. These people who wait the last minute to buy ammo , may be in trouble finding any this year.

I haven't HS any issues finding turkey ammo. It is typically higher priced and that's what is easier to find. I ordered some 20 gauge longbeards about a month ago to be sure. Haven't had any trouble finding TSS either.

I'm seeing it in stores I visit.  Maybe not as much as usual but it's out there.

Agreed. This is a terrible year for ammo. All kinds. I drive a truck for a living and was in KY the other day. Small Mom and Pop place had 4 boxes of Longbeards. But they were #4 shot so I didnt buy them.

I'm seeing some #4 and #5 shot but cant find any #6. I would be fine to get through the season but my 16 YO son is going to try turkey hunting for this first time and so I would like to get a couple of extra boxes for him to practice with.

Use dove loads to check POA/POI and practice with.  Grab a couple boxes of the 5's and let him shoot one or two at 40 yards for patterning purposes only.  This year, shells are going to be hard to come by.
