A thread to ask questions on the topic. It's been a while since I replaced shot shells. Probably because shotgun ammunition has been cheap, and it is easier to buy a slab of shot shells.

But buying 16-bore shotgun ammunition is expensive. And small bird shot, 7 1/2 to 9s, impossible to get. My 16-bore needs some 8s and 9s.

Bismuth? Absolutely impossible to obtain loaded ammunition. Perhaps bismuth shot can be sent over?

12-bore 2 1/2" loaded ammo. More versatility with reloaded shells.

Steel shot? Ffff that. Good to lay in good supplies of lead shot forbth future. Ffff fake environmental green BS.

It's harder to get stuff all the time. Lay in supplies while one can.
