Any ammo deals out there?

Marc I agree that home rolled would be best, but it is easier to find money than time. I think the only factory shell that would come close to hand loads is the Remington Nitro Steel ($25/box).
If you disassemble some of the cheaper ammo you would be disgusted...2 piece wad, sh!tty powder, pellets with huge dents, hulls with no beef, and primers with a touch of lacquer=drylock.

BTW Don't you think your DSDs are offended by you shooting those crappy shells over their heads?

Nahhh, they dont mind aslong as the falling geese dont hit them.

We just got back from our yearly trip to Oregon for the waterfowl festival, got a few more dsds to keep the others company. Traffic was horrible going down becuase of a brush fire crossing the I5 held up for 2-3 hours and then hit rush hour in portland. Instead of a 6.5 hour trip more like 9 hours, with multiple stops to 2-3 sportsmans warehouses and also Cabelas. I had a pocket full money going down, and its a lot lighter coming back up

I'll have to go check my ammo and see actually how many I have left but we'll have to just keep in touch come october to see about coming over here.

And it was awful tempting to go buy a oregon hunting license and buy up all the heavy shot for super cheap. like 26 bucks a box compared to 50-60 for up here its a joke. Same with all the other brands.

I had the same problem with Win 12 ga 3" loads in my BPS. The action would "freeze" shut and I had to depress the slide release and bang the butt on the ground sharply to open the action. I've used the same loads in my Beretta X-trema and 686 OU both with a 31/2 chambers w/o experieincing any problems. Have never had this problem with Rem or Fed ammo.
