| Not abundant, but there’s some around. Never was abundant. What is available seem to be the better stuff, heavy loads. |

| Skeettx Very jealous of your getting the gifting of the Super X Mark 5. That's my favorite pheasant load ever. |

Skeettx
Very nice. I got about 6 boxes of the federal just like yours. I have 1 box left. Shot them on the skeet field. Sure would like to find some more, and if they were 3.69 that would be awesome |

SX,
Love them old Mark Vs, and CFs to boot I believe. Shot lots and lots of mallards with these before non-tox regs became the law--my favorite shell for ducks back in the 70s and 80s. Also, more or less have duplicated this load with 540/HS6 powder (but Rem plastic wads) in CF hulls with #5s for pheasants since the early 80s--a killer load. Both ducks and pheasants mostly fell to my older Auto 5 16 gauge Browning, at least until recent years. Enjoy!

None in the few places to buy shot shells in Topeka, KC Cabelas is the best source.
That said per last inventory I have over 8600 on hand, not counting reloading components |
