LOL,ya but now that you mention it,..speaking of plains rifles, like Hawkens and stuff.I need to talk with YOU about a .58 cal. tapered Large barrel I have.

Dan,
Have you had a chance to shoot any bird-shot out of that new gun yet?   I bought a bag of shot for mine this week, based on the price you would have thought I was buying gold.

[ridjrunr]

No I haven't pd,but I have some. Maybe this weekend I will be able to try that out.

[Uncle Russ]

Ridj, I hope you have better luck finding new shot than what I've experienced.

Like PD, I was totally floored last year when I went to buy a bag of shot.
$49.95 plus tax comes to about $54.00 here is this state...I left it at the store.
I have been shooting re-claimed shot for some three or four years now, and although I don't like it, I suspect I will use it until it's gone.
The only defense I have against such prices is simply not to buy it, which will likely change nothing, but I totally refuse to pay that kind of money for a bag of shot!!  

Besides that I'm totally capable of making drop-shot myself, and although I don't particularly care for that either, it will do fine for the little hunting I get done with my smoothies.

Uncle Russ...

luckly i have 3 bags left of #7 1/2 , and #4  not to mention a couble bags of reclaimed shot . when thats gone , it will be drop shot for me . im not going to pay those kinds of prices

[KHickam]

What I do is go by old gun stores - lots of time people will bring ammunition in with old guns they sell - most stores don't want to sell the ammunition but I was given a few boxes and I just took the shell apart and kept the shot

[ridjrunr]

I have a couple of plastic juice bottles with some that was given too me. so i will start with that.
definately something to think about(price of shot)
