I don't think steel shot is sold out due to the ammo rush. Every store I have been to in Louisiana or Texas lately has a lot except some of the Academy's which tend to sell out due to being late season. You might try another outfitter in the area.

It's probably been ten years since I have bought steel/non-toxic shot in less than a case. Not only is the price better, but I tend to shoot the same loads every year out of my guns because I know what works best for what kind of shooting I do. Picked up a couple of cases of 3" #2 Hevi Metal this season for $169 per case and have liked the results so far.

I would shoot BB over #6 as well.
However, you're not totally screwed. You just can't take any long or high shots (which can be common this time of the year). Make sure they're in range and make sure you're putting the right lead on them. Shooting them in the butt is not going to bring them down.
If I were you I'd see if I could buy a couple boxes from a member on here.
