Thread: Cheap buckshot...????

Who has cheap bulk 12ga 2 3/4" OO buckshot?

Cheapest I've found is at Ammunition To Go. They have 250rds of Rio 2 3/ 9 pellet ammo for $119.95.
Ammunition To Go : 250rds - 12 Gauge Rio Royal 2 3/4" 9 Pellet Full Power OO Buck [RB129] - $119.95

I think that's the cheapest it goes from what I've shopped.

Unless you reload...which is terribly easily for shells.

Hope this Link appears for ya

They are having some real good deals( i think ) on ammo right now...

I'm well stocked with 12 gauge.

If you want a quality round of Buckshot, reloading is about the only way you'll get it. A very few factory loads are decent, but most are crap. They'll go Bang and a few chunks of lead (sometimes the number advertised, sometimes fewer) will exit the barrel. 8 or 9 pellet 00 loads, I make them for about $2.40 per box of 25. 10, 12 or 15 pellet loads use slower powder and more of it, still under $3.00 for 25.

Yes I roll my own 20 gauge

you ever sell any of those? My buckshot supply sucks.

Sorry, I don't sell any - Liability issues, Logistics problem (I'm in Minnesota) and supply problems - right now I can't even get the primers I want (W209 - I can use others but would have to redo the powder charge) and the wheelweight I use to make the shot is in short supply.

I can sure tell you how to put some together though.

How hard is it to load shotgun shells? What all is involved?
