Well folks the metals market says so. I literally watched my local GS mark up all of their hevi shot products by 10-12 dollars a box. 20ga 3 inch 7's went from 11.89 to 19.99 a box, you can only guess how much the 3 and 3 1/2's went up. I for one am done with the whole hevi shot and high price garbage.

If they were selling HS for less than 12/box I wish I would have known, cause I would have bought it by the pallet load.  20/box is more inline with every other store.

Yeah, those boxes of 20 ga 3 inch shells for 11.89 was sweet while it lasted. But you'd choke if you seen what they are all marked up to now.

Just checked my inventory.

7 boxes of Hevi 2.25 oz #7's lot # 300324 (Good ones)
5 boxes of Hevi 20 ga Blends
2 boxes of Hevi 20 ga 1.25 oz #7's
1 box of Fed Hvy 20 ga #7's

Ordered 5 more boxes of 20 ga Fed Hvy #7's to go with what I have. All of my paper shooting will be with lead to check POI. The good stuff will be for birds only from now on.

cabelas still has them on sale just FYI.

I have enough to last me a few years but man I hope it comes back down at somepoint.

I know I purchased some Hevi-13 3.5 loads on line about 2 weeks ago for 19.99 a box and free shipping.

Looked a couple days later at the same site, same exact load, and the price went to 28.99?

I bought them from a couple of places. Most were bought in late 2010 or early 2011. You won't find that lot anymore unless some mom & pop sporting goods store has some collecting dust.

surehuntsalot

it's not the harvest,it's the chase
