Why was Shotgun Ammo never hard to find?

During the mad rushes of folks trying to find:
.22
.40
.45
9mm
.223/5.56
Shotgun ammo was on the shelves and internet, galore.
-Was there tactical 12 ga that was being bought instead?
-Did the buyers/hoarders/re-sellers never see the value in it?
-Is the fact that you can stash way more rifle/pistol ubullets than 12 ga make it that more attractive?
Just asking.

Rio Buck, Sellier and Belloit.....something was always out there.

can't kill zombies with birdshot or steel.

Shotgun ammo bought at a higher percentage by hunters who care not about shooting unless it's at game.

.410 is still a bit hard to come by. My guess on the other gauges is that bird shot was overlooked by the panic buyers fearing the zombie hordes.

Yep, but I'm having a hard time finding 3" #4 steel shot. Frickin' duck hunters.

3 inch 4 shot can get a little tough to find during duck season

shoot #2s or BBs. Better knockdown power on waterfowl. Just gotta hit 'em.

Best home defense round you can get.

40 and 45 was not hard to find. Every store in my area had tons of it.
9 mm, 22, and 223/5.56 was mostly the calibers where it was tough to find ammo for.

I wonder if gun control activists call each other 'nutjobs' or 'crazies?'
