    Are there no good local stores to buy 12g slugs for the range? I’m not paing $1 per shell when I can buy online for a fraction of that cost.

    Walmart had nothing that I could tell, Rural King was overpriced.

    Guess I’ll buy online.

    Wait til after hunting season and hit the big box stores for clearances. Few years back I bought Five Pack Slugs for $1 at Meijer.

    Ah...crap...not a hunter so that didn’t even cross my mind...

    Thanks for bringing the obvious to light for me.

    I’ll buy online for now and check after hunting season. I didn’t think about Meijer either.

    If you're willing to buy by the case (250 rounds) online you'll get a better price. Other than that, $1 per round or a little more is the going price. You might get lucky and catch a clearance for less after hunting season, but that's a gamble.

    Hit gun shows. They go cheap since none is there for shot shells. I bought 13 boxes at the Napanee show 2-3 bucks a box. I dump them in a ammo can all year then use them to blast pumpkins and hedge apples each fall.After deer season is great too.

    Ended up finding these on Cabella's site.

    https://www.cabelas.com/product/sho...edium=AFF&utm_source=35987&rid=12&WT.tsrc=AFF

    1oz Slugs 10 count, 4.49 each. Free shipping w/ $50 or more. By far the best deal (by a lot) I found online.

    I shoot a lot of these along with their shot shells. Work good although Herters never seems as hot as say a Remington or Win. Very affordable and useable. I took a fist full of squirrels this year with their 5 shot 20ga loads. Nice mild working load that doesn't break the bank. Thumbs up!

    Personally, this is why I gave up shotgun slugs as soon as you could use a pistol caliber rifle. Practice was a lot cheaper.

    Practice is cheaper IF you reload!...$40.00-$50.00 a box for .44 mag and .45 LC off the shelf price is damn close to $1.00 per shot.

    I have paid for my reloading equipment very fast in these two calibers alone.

    I quickly got out of hand loading those larger pistol calibers. Too rich for my blood. Cheaper to buy slugs on sale shoot and pitch the hulls.
