Turkey Ammo

[Greg Massey]

What are you guy's hearing and seeing about the availability of turkey ammo this coming spring ? I was at 2 big gun stores yesterday and they didn't have much at all... neither store had any 20 gauge or 410 in regular field loads at all...I think this spring is going to be worst than last year in finding some brands of shotgun ammo. As turkey hunters i know most of us have good supply of ammo..

I predict this will be a repeat of the tss shortage of 2019? I think that was the year.

Looking grim, I just scored some light target game loads at wally world yesterday.  I may go through my old ammo I don't use and sell it, have quite a bit of old lead turkey loads.

I saw some 20ga long beards at a big r the other day, and check gunbroker, think I saw some long beards there. A local gun shop that had virtually no ammo had some old Remington turkey loads.

Fortunately I have enough components to load about 50 hand loads and have another 15 or so already loaded.

Luckily, I had a couple of boxes of WLB #6's for last season.   I haven't seen any on the shelves locally for a   LONG time.  I'd like to spend some time patterning a new choke, but I'm afraid if I do, I may not have enough shells left for the season.   Sigh.

I have a full box of five Apex 20 gauge 1 5/8oz #9s I would let go for $40 plus whatever shipping and PayPal fees is based on buyer's zip code. I have a small box to ship via FedEx with ordinance label.

 If you have them that's great, if not, order now.

Had mine in a week after order placed, and was told components were an issue. That was 6 or 7 weeks ago.

But, some will complain of cost, and not order, then, complain of lack of product. Hopefully, this keeps some of the last minute guys out of the woods. A benefit to all turkey killers.

I heard from some munitions guys that they're having an extremely hard time sourcing tungsten for their company, so I don't know if that will hold true across the board.

    The walmart near me has no Ammo at all. I have older Ammo though.

I got some for Christmas.  Finding it in the stores is a challenge.  Order early.

I tried to find some 20ga numbers 6's to take my son squirrel at the beginning of 2021. My gosh I couldn't hardly find anything in 20 ga.

Yup, when I see 20g or .410 I snag up a box or two. I've had good luck every now and then at Walmart. You just need to know when they restock. I think mine is Mondays and Fridays

Couldn't even locate any 20 gauge squirrel loads today at our couple of local stores. 4 5 or 6s. Slim pickins fellers.

I just found 4 boxes of Hevi #7's for my 20. Im good for a few years. I really hope this thing ends soon.

We just started getting in a few boxes at the store, Had some 12ga TSS, Remington Nitro loads and Federal 3rd Degree. but that's been it.

I was lucky enough to secure enough boxes of "my" turkey loads and deer ammo to last me for years, I work in the industry and when I seen this shortage coming I started stocking up on what I use. I did buy a new 20ga turkey gun last spring for some youth hunters, did get a box of LB's but the gun patterns better with Federal Premium Prairie Storm Ammunition 20 Gauge Nickel Plated Shot. I have a couple of boxes of that.

I'm not sure how it's gonna be this year, it seems like it's gets a little better every year. Less people panic buying... supply chains and labor are probably still cut short.

Luckily I do always buy a box or 2 extra every season.

Then I also have back up 2nd choice ammo.

And then I also have a bare minimum ammo.
