I fired some 12 gauge slugs today, and it hurt so much I cried

[C3D]

No, not the recoil. It was the thought that it was over $1 per shot at today's prices and I burned through 4 boxes of slugs.

I think I am getting very stingy in my old age.

Years ago post hunting season you could pick them up for $1 a box of 5. Frugal preppers would buy them up like a squirrel collects nuts.

I've been taking my girls to the range with trap shells this year in the 590 and the cruiser.

I bought a case of Remington rifled slugs ten years ago on sale. A hoot to shoot! I don't hunt with them.

About to do the same to sight a couple of shotguns in for deer hunting on Long Island. Very much hoping not to have to put more than 3 through each. Six each is my absolute maximum.

Hey, Frank's getting some love.

ya, try 45-70 rounds, they range from $2 to $4 per round, depending on which manufacture you use.

Buffalo Bore, 45-70 magnum Lever gun ammo, 500 gr, 1625 f.p.s, M.E. 2931 Ft lbs, $89.45 = $4.75 per round

Fortunately, I shoot cheap shit, Winchester 300 gr, $2.00+ per round

 

[Vapor]

I'm used to nice center fire rifle rounds being about a $1.

I'm used to 15 slugs per $10...

I bought a lot of .223 at $0.19/round last year. I should have bought a lot more!

 

[Bustedknees]

Ive been seeing and buying .450 Marlin and .450 bushmaster throughout the shortage. Normal prices too.

A lot of .350 legend and .450 around at normal prices in my area.

 

[Jmac00]

ya, there seems to be plenty of artillery's rounds available, 444, 450, 350, 458 all seem to be available, just got to wait for delivery

 

[2WheelGnnr]

what I thought was BEFORE the shortage I tried to find some buckshut and slugs for my B-I-L 20 guage that is now parked in my safe. thats when I realized there was a shortage as before they were all over the wally world shelves......

none to be had before hunting season. I can find some target loads but woud like to have some buckshot around. someday .....maybe...

Time to reload

 

[Jmac00]
