My 70 boxes of herters came in today 35 boxes of 6s field loads and 35 boxes of 1 1/8 7.5s wished I would have bought more but I already had 6 flats of 8s. 2 flats of pheasant load 5s and another 2 flats of those heavy 7.5s yes I shoot a lot. |

I received 7 boxes of .410 yesterday, and they were a mess! The shipping box was broken open and all 7 boxes were broken with the shells laying all scattered withing the shipping box. Taped all the .410 boxes so they were usable and loaded all the shells in them. Nothing missing but what a mess.

Does anybody know the manufacture? Maybe we can do a once a year bulk order of a couple hundred flats. I came to depend on them for shooting clays now back to the loading bench I didn't miss that. |

Just took a look at Cabela's for 16 gauge shells.
Practically nothing and at absurd prices.
Buying 12 flats last year when they were blowing them out was like buying Amazon at $3.19 a share. |

The cheapest 16ga loads that I know of right now, are the federal I oz. Local Walmart has them for 7.94 per. |

Was at BPS in Jackson, MS yesterday. No herter's 16ga. However they were clearancing out all 12ga STS loads at 6.99. I bought all they had as that is the hull I'm set up for in 12ga. |

The 10 year (or whatever) run of Herter's was like a blood transfusion for 16 gauge shooters/reloaders. Save those hulls! |
