I know everybody is in a tizzy about the new Winnie shells, but just wondering what the Hevi prices are in your area.
I just stopped at a local outdoor store and their 3 in are $32.99, 3 1/2 is $36.99. Didn't look at the MagBlends, but interestingly enough, they have 2 boxes of the old white hulls in 3 in no4's marked down from $33 to $25.99.
Our Academy has 3 1/2 in for $30, 3 in for $26.99 and BPS is somewhere in the $30 plus range.
Just wondering what your prices are looking like. The last time I bought Hevi's I think they were around $21 a box.
I know the price of Tungsten has gone up, but damn.
I purchased some 3" 7's a few weeks ago to add to my stock and I believe I paid in the $25 range for them.
I bought some 3" 7's two years ago (bronze shell) that was giving me upwards to 300 in a 10" circle at 40 yards. Even if the newer wads lower my count to 200-250 I doubt if I will change. I won't know or a while as I have 3 boxes of the older lot #'s to shoot up.
The #7's 2oz in the 3" and the 2-1/4oz in the 3.5 are hard to beat when it comes to numbers and pattern density. The LB 6's will have to really impress me before I switch.
Last year I bought some of the 3.5" #5 1.75 oz stuff for $7.49/box... yes, you read that right, 7.49/box. I bought 15 boxes.
I could barely give the stuff away, everyone wanted the 2.25 and 2 oz stuff.

Dang. Great deal for you
They can't be found for anything below $32 per 5 in my area.
Over 30 in my area. Not sure if I will be making a switch this year. I will have a new barrel, scope, and stock so I have some shooting to do.
Will be sticking with the Hevi shot choke.
One quote for Tungsten for shotgun shells is $50-$100 per Kilogram(2 pounds and 3.27 ounces).
Using avg of $75 that would make it about $2.25 per ounce or a 2 oz. shell would have $5.50 in shot alone.
That is why we saw so many reloaders buying up when shells were on sale and they simply wanted the shot at that price. They only export so much out per month as well as I understand that most of it comes from China.
I got two boxes for $60.00 something but i sent in for the $20.00 rebate.

I think I saw some 3" 2oz shells for either $28 or $29....can't remember. Of course, that was back around Christmas time.
3" hevi 13- $21.99. 3" mag blend $24.99

Exactly, I could have sold the shells for shot and made more than I did. I didn't buy them to resell, I just didn't want them when I realized they were .5 oz lighter loads than I was currently shooting.

Then That's a mis-tag on the part of the store because EVERY SINGLE Gander I have been to in the last 3 months, including my old store has the 3" for $27.99 and the 3.5" for $37.99 and the only sizes they carried are the #5's. Gander is without doubt the most expensive shain store for Hevi prices there is.
I got lucky last year and got 3" magblends at my local gander for $24.99 a box. I bought 2 at that price and used the rebate. I left 1 box there...probably should have got them all. I did not see what the rate is this year.

I got some of that myself. Some store in GA had them. I bought 6 boxes for like $55 shipped.
ad a buddy pick me up some of the 3.5 1.75 oz hevi 6s in Florida for 7.99 per box last week. Shot it at 40 and put up 180 in the 10. Thats plenty good for me and i know if i clean the barrel good and its decently warm it will break 200. I am glad i stocked up last year on the 2.25 oz loads though from the sounds of these prices.
Academy this afternoon
3.5" 29.99
3" 26.99
Magblend 24.99
20ga 3" 19.99 #6's only

They have it in our store.
Seen it there today, but is last years and mostly 2 3/4 .
not sure why.. but when i went on bass p website.. they didnt have hevi turkey loads and only had longbeards in 4 shot
Went to a outdoors store yesterday here in alabama the magblends was $39.99 a box for 5. Nitros was $76.99 per 10 so the nitros was a better buy.
I only have one store that sells the Hevi-13 locally, and I can get a better price online than I can at his store.
He doesn't carry the 7's, so I don't buy too many shells from him. I think at last look he was getting 33-35 bucks a box of 5, but that was last season.
I saw a local store to me in West Tn. that has the 3.5 inch #7's for $$46.99 a box!!!!!!!!!!
It's a Great Product, but you sure do have to pay for the privilege.
No new regular H-13 at my local Bass Pro, just new Magnum Blend and very old H-13, 1.75 oz type.
Don't think they carry any new H-13 except for MB...
mudhen
I went to gander again yesterday and they still had 3" hevi 13 @ $21.99 and 3" blend @ $24.99. I bought a couple boxes of hevi 13
Maybe we should all stop buying the stuff so that these crazy prices fall to reality.
I may go back to lead #4's since I killed a million birds that way.
done got to far gone
Bought a box of 3.5" 6s and 4 boxes of 3.5 7s for 25 a box. Not from a store though. 7s were the 300325 as well
