How does your shotgun ammo inventory look right now?

I'm probably a bit under where I would like to be, but I admit I am not shooting 12-ga as much as I used to.

I have Brenneke slugs and Federal Tru-Ball slugs, 00-buck, #1 buck, #4 heavy, #5, #6, #7.5 and #8.

Oughta get me thru the next few wars or hunting seasons, with an occasional farm predator I also have to deal with.

I’ve been picking up #4 steel shot anytime I have to go the Wally market. I have a couple hundred rounds at this point, any kind of buckshot is scarce around my neck of the woods.

I bet that steel shot costs a pretty penny.....

I have a wide variety of weird 12 and 16 gauge buck & ball loads I made up, plus a lot of traditional bird, bunny, buck and slug loads.

I accidentally bought a few boxes Of 12 gauge steel shot. I guess I’ll need that if I ever take up hunting in California.

I’ve got at least 100 used hulls laying around that I haven’t washed and reloaded yet, and I’m sure I have primers to do at least half of them.

So if I get bored with working on my car I’ll have something to do.

The reason I bought mine by accident is because it was so much cheaper than lead shot I thought it was on sale. Nope, it’s because it wasn’t lead.

I think I have a few boxes of slugs somewhere and maybe a box or two of birdshot, the only thing I know for certain is the 50 rds 00 buck and 5 slugs on my chest rig. I'll be restocking soon and building a new rig that holds more ammo, at least 100 rds.

Many folks buy their ammo online and one of the big sellers is a family owned business in Oklahoma.

Here's a link to their inventory of 12 ga shotshell ammo. You can check out other ammo types by backclicking.

Appears they have a good stock level and their website shows realtime availability vice some of these other places where you go to checkout before they tell you it's backordered.

I have bought from them once online, and a couple of times at the Wannemacher gun show in town. They are a good bunch.

50 rounds 00 buck, the same in #2 and #4, and 10 rounds of slugs. All 12 ga.

another +1 for sgammo, have bought from them several times

I've been seeing 12ga target loads coming back into stock more frequently and was finally was able to get a couple cases of #7.5 WinAA for not completely insane pricing - I prefer it for 3gun in my 930JM plus I trade the hulls to a friend for 9mm brass

There's another big thread about ammo availability too

I think I might hate you now. I really, really, really wish I had bought a whole bunch of those $20 per hundred boxes. I never even gave those a thought for packing them in. I have plenty of the premium stuff, though. Even a huge pile of LE132-1B Federal. And that stuff was rare even before "the troubles". Take care. Tom Worthington

John, guess I'm a member of your buying club. With one exception - recent purchase of a few Peters Paper retro shells, I have not needed to purchase any shotgun ammo in years. Guess it pays to buy when others question our sanity!

I'd guess about 1000rds of 12ga/20ga split 65%/35% including 12ga mini-shells. About 50 .410 various flavors.
