People often posting about handgun ammo supplies they have. The other day it dawned on me that if there was ever a need, I may have a better chance huntin up some vittles with a shotgun than a .22.

Valid question.

I dont stock ammo, but when I have gone to look for shells during the past 2 duck seasons, the pickings have been extremely slim on steel shot.

Somebody hoarding...

I have about 2.5 cases of steel shot. About 1.5 cases of random bullshite for my 12. A box or two in 10. Probably got a case for 20. A few boxes for my 4-10.

I have had the same experience...I will have to start buying some steel before the season to keep from having to buy crap shells as I need them during the season...

I will be glad when this irrational bullshite fades away....

I think I have ~1500 rounds of 20ga and another 500 or so rounds of 12ga. I'll shoot through that in 4-6 weeks. I buy it in large quantities when it's on sale. If I could find powder anywhere I'd just reload all the hulls I have in the shop.

I usually have 100 to 200 rounds of #6 and #8 each on hand.

Got a good deal on some buckshot a few years ago, about half a case worth. Still have most of that.

And about a case of skeet loads. I don't do a lot of shotgunning.

You can find dove load cheap at Academy. I always pick up a few boxes when they have it for around $4 a box

Probably about 5 cases total of 12 gauge in # 4, 6, and buckshot.

Then about 100 rounds of sabot.
