| I've checked the usual suspects locally, and here's what I find: Remington Game Loads, No. 6 shot only, about $5.89 a box. One store also carries some Remington Express in 6, and Federal in 6 and 7 1/2, but these run $10 to $12. Two stores carry Federal steel shot loads in sizes 2 and 4, $15-$18 a box. That's it. |

| Have you checked Cascade ammo in Roseburg? They were selling PMC #4 shot for $3 earlier this year. |

| Your best bet might be to order from www.grafs.com. The price you see includes shipping. No real bargains,but at least you have a good selection. |

| Guys, thanks. I may very well end up ordering from Grafs. I did manage to find some Remington game loads in No. 8 for just under $6 at the local Big 5. We have a Sportsman's Warehouse opening here in November, and I am looking forward to a better selection of shells for the 16 and for the little .410 Bobwhite. |

| I hope your Sportsman's Warehouse has a better selection of 16 gauge ammo than the one in Chattanooga, Tennessee. About two year old store and the only 16 gauge they handle are the real expensive stuff. |

At stores, paying the same here in the Midwest. I'm getting the Win GLs in 8 for $5.99 at a regional big box store. Have two flats of the Rem GLs in 7.5 stashed in my storage closet, plus a flat of Fiocchis in 8, in addition to the the three flats of Rem and Win in 7.5 and 8 next to the fridge.
With the fall here and the stores overstocking on GLs in No. 6, I've been shooting those at state-owned, throw-your-own sites, as the state allows 6 shot. Holding onto the 7.5s and 8s for use at the clubs. |
