That you can't get get 3" 2 oz lead loads anymore...I remember Winchester used to have them all the time now all they load is 1 3/4 oz....I actually found a box and they want $22 for it.  I found some Federals in PA last spring and got a box for $10

No idea, but I've got a bunch of the lead Winchester's in the black box I've been thinking about selling.  If your interested, I'll dig them out of my ammo closet and see what all I have.

Very interested find out what you have and let's know

You buying from a store? That's a vendor issue and what they are stocking. Win still makes the 3" 2oz. Most vendors don't know the difference ordering stock based on price. I've gone around in circles on local vendors over that same issue. If all else fails just order em. The heavier loads may cost a little more but worth it.

I have 1 full box and a partial box of 2oz 4's in 3" 12ga.  The 2oz 6's are 3.5".  The 3" 6's are 1 3/4oz.

I'll make you a deal on them if you want them.  Only problem is I had to ship them UPS ORD which is a little PIA since I have to go to the UPS hub to get them shipped.

How much you want for them shipping and all?

3" 870 Shell Shucker

Bass Pro stocks the Winchester 3" 2 0unce Lead shells, but they're $16-$17 per box of 10.

Wal-Mart is asking $12-$13 per box of 10 for the 1.75 Ounce HV shells.

If 2 Ounces is what you want, you have to pay a premium for them.  I'm not going to pay $16-$17 for Lead, when HTL is $40.
