Where has all the buckshot gone?
I was in the local wally-world the other day and commented on the lack of buckshot lately. The cashier whiped a single box of 12 gauge buckshot out onto the counter and said it was all they had left. Of course I am looking for 20 gauge, and thanked him for his time and moved on. I began the slow trek of pawn shop, gun shop and sporting goods store checking and guess what I have found? Every one of them offered to sell me pallet loads of slugs, not ONE of them has had more than one box of buckshot, and other than a lone box of ancient looking 16 gauge it has ALL been 12 gauge.
I hate ordering ammo online, but it looks like if I want 20 gauge buckshot thats my last hope. Part of what bothers me is even online I can only find #3 anymore. What happened to the #2, #1 and 0 buckshot for 20 guage? I remember when you could buy all of these. In point of fact I actually shot up a few years back my last three rounds of Otasco #1 3" high brass 20 gauge buckshot They where in Blue hulls no less. Since I popped them off and tossed the shells I have found three or four collectors of Otasco items that would have paid well for them. . . . . . GoodOlBoy
