Lead Shell Availability Report

[3" 870 Shell Shucker]

I dropped into the Bass Pro Shops in Pearl, MS and the Wal-Mart in Pearl, MS today 3-16-2013.

Wal-Mart had "no 3" or 3.5" #6 Lead Turkey loads of any brand in stock".  #4's and #5's only.  Thugs were available in #4's and #5's.  Empty spaces where #6's were supposed to be.

Bass Pro had 3 boxes of the 3" Federal Strut Shok #6 Lead Turkey loads for $10 per box.
They also had the Winchester Double XX loads in most sizes.

They had one box of 3" Magnum Blend, and several boxes of 3.5" Magnum Blend.

Not surprising this time of year...

One Wal-Mart south of me had 12 guage Thugs in 4's, 5's and 6's, while another north of me only had them in 5's, season still a month away here...

Several of the Wal Marts in my area have not received their shipment of 3" Thurkey Thugs 6's yet.  The sticker is on the shelf but no 6's yet.

I started to grab a box of the Strut Shok #6's at BPS to try, but decided that I'd just wait and stick with the Wal-Mart Thugs.

Does anyone have a link or photo of the box these shells? I don't see them anywhere on Federal®'s website?

Yes they do.  All I have seen them in is 5's though

Fives are all they have here at home in 20 gauge.
