Trouble Finding 00 Buckshot

[1nderbeard]

I was fortunate enough to find an ingo gentleman getting rid of all his 12 gauge stash just before deer season. Beyond that I'd bulk bought some 12 gauge a few years ago, and I don't shoot it all that much.

Rural King, and Dunham’s both had Wolf 00, but I couldn’t bring myself the pay their prices. $11.99, and $13.99 respectively.

Aimsurplus.com still has Sterling 12ga 00 buck 10 for $8.95. Thats 90 cents a shot.

Thanks for the input. I got a few boxes ordered from Aimsurplus this AM and am going to try and call Left Behind this afternoon. Certainly appreciate it.

If you happen to shot some give us a review on it.

Palmetto State has a Black Aces 00Buck

I saw some of this at Fort Liberty. $32/25 Only ammo in the store I could shoot since I haven't added .308, .32 acp, 10mm or .41 magnum to my calibers. That was last week though...

Edit: this is "tactical" buckshot, not strategic buckshot

After the Obummer days, saw the rape of guns and ammo till Trump took over as POTUS. Guns pricing went lean, and ammo aplenty.

Wifey use to give me the "look" when i loaded up another 50 cal ammo box with new stock, then I let it go till I couldn't fit anymore boxes under my bed.

She decided to buy new mattress, box spring, and when she moved the older mattress, she remarked"OMG, what war are we going to?" She said"Get it in a secured lockbox, safe or whatever!" I Did.

It took over a year to see 22LR ammo return. Those cheap rounds were 25-30$, for 550, were $100. I cleaned and stored my firearms till it came back. Prices dropped, Scalpers were trying to dump their ammo stock, I refused to pay that.

Sorry to say, but it is grim out there. I have seen guns coming into LGS, prices nutso of course.
If you want to practice, get whatever you find, be diligent to store a little for a rainy day. Maybe attend an INGO Shoot day and a couple guys may swap a few 00 buck rounds, for some current centerfire pistol rounds. Good luck.

Sorry you are behind the availability curve OP. Most outlets have basic shotgun shells in like 7.5 or ? Rabbit shot basically. Your more tactical offers are....well.....gone.

Even 12g target loads (7.5-9, 1 ⅛ or less) is getting scarce -- Cabela's and Basspro have been out for a couple weeks, and a couple threads have popped up on the clays forums about ammo shortages. During the 2013-2015 shortage, I never didn't see 12g clay loads on the shelf.

Back in the old dark days, to my vast surprise, Meijer always had plenty of target loads in 12. The Walmart directly across the street never did. Prices on it were "normal" too.

That and deer rounds (that were/are illegal in IN for hunting deer) were always stocked up. All of the #7 shot and .270 Winchester you could carry every time I went.

Parabellum in Avon has Black Aces 25rd box for like $24.

I am a little surprised to see all the buckshot being bought up just like the rifle and handgun ammo. I know people are in a panic but this wasn’t expected. Has anyone had any luck finding buckshot either online or in store in central Indiana that is not completely unreasonably priced? Using it to take down some coyotes.

How much are you looking for, and what quality/velocity? I have some that I can help you out with, but need more particulars. I don't imagine close-range coyote hunting is very quantity intensive.

I’m not surprised. I was surprised that black powder pistols and pyrodex are getting hard to find now.

That is scary. When you can't feed your 1851 Navy things are beyond out of control.
