My Trip to Bass Pro

My wife and I had a Dr. appoitment in Jackson today, so, while we were there I wanted to go to Bass Pro to finally take the plunge and buy a box Federal Heavyweight #7's.
Get there and browse the shot shell section, and absolutley no Federal shells of any kind out. Ok, so I go and look for my other alternative, Hevi-Shot #7's. The only ones that they had were the magnum blend of 5,6, 7's (the ones that advertise a killing range of 75 yds in the catalog  ::)).

I personally wasn't happy with the small selection that they had. I could only find Hevi-Shot #6's at another store. I hope this will pattern well. My gun likes the #5 shot for a good even pattern. Hope these six's will work.

Van's Sporting Goods is about 10 miles from BP and has a better selection of pretty much everything. They stock Nitro's also

Re-read your post and realized you are from Cleveland so going back to Van's isnt realistic. I ordered Hevy 13 #7 from cheaper than dirt. Arrived in a few days. Probably have the federal too. Good luck

wasting your time looking for Federal HW or Hevi #7's at bass pro,they never carry them,at least not in pearl
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

Bass Pro never has anything I want.  I buy all my ammo online.

I buy all of my cornmeal there.

That's the truth :TooFunny:

You might try your local gun shop. If they don't have it ask them to order some for you.

I went on a little ammo scouting mission today,the report is pitiful
BPS is pathetic ....nothing to amount to anything
Van's              ......not much better,had plenty of Magblends,Hevi #6's and 5's in 3" and 3.5",saw some 3.5" 1-3/4oz#6's if anybody wanted some of the older light loads as I called them
Outfitters      .......some 2-3/4" hevi #5's,3" #6's,5's,and4's.....3.5" #6's,5's,and 4's
                            they did have a few boxes of 3"-2oz-#7's if anybody is looking for some
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

Vans has Nitros behind the counter in 20 ga (4,5,7) and 12 ga both 3" and 3.5". In 12ga they have 4,5,7 and straight 7

don't buy nitro's,cost way more money than I'm going to spend on a shotgun shell
