Interesting OG, I have not, and can't say that I even knew they existed. Always leary with anything that involves online auctions, but let us know if you venture forth, or hear anything positive or negative.

Rumor online that Obiden will sign executive orders to appease the greenies up to and including restriction of hunting and fishing.
He has both a pen and a phone so just like that poof there could be no hunting season.
Brandon....
What do I need ammo for again?

I have recently on Gunbroker but it was for some 44-40 ammo wouldn't think about it for shotshells I looked at them and there are no deals .

I haven't bought any online, I've been shooting up old stock... I was out of my clay target loads this spring, and had a bunch of miscellaneous shotgun shell components so I added to them and reloaded all my target loads for this year.. I kicked the can down the road for one more year we'll see what happens...
I have enough hunting loads for a couple more years, maybe more?
Maybe this year we can get everyone's closets full and the supply and demand will work itself out?

Am set up for years.
40+ boxes and I've only been shooting maybe 3 or 4 a year. If I'm hunting ducks in 2032 it'll be a freaking miracle.

OG after you asked that question, I got to searching and ended up on a outdoor life article... Pretty much buyer beware like we all know, it referred to GunBroker as a good one... I have bought and sold guns on that site and it does seem to be a good one... Ended up reading their insurance policy and doesn't sound very good for ammo purchases?
They cover up to $500 which doesn't cover tax or shipping, and has $100 deductible... So if I understand it right if you bought $100 worth you're out in the cold, but I also may have misunderstood something?

In 2019 I panicked and bought everything I saw for about a month. Where? Rural King, Farm and Fleet, and Dicks. Got a ten box flat at rural.king for under $200.. them blue Peter's shells and they're good.

It's all my fault.
:lol:

My wife says if they outlaw hunting fuck it no more limits and shooting hours...seasons. wheeee

I spent more than a hundred :lol: Had to if I wanted the bullets . 50 rounds is running 199.00 for what looks like new . Can find some guys auctioning at 50 or 60 but in the next 4 or 5 days those prices will be up there for sure. I didn't buy new and still paid up there . As far as 12 and 20 I've got enough steel for the rest of my life I think , but will buy more trap loads and some steal 7s when I see them .

:lol: if it's not a shotgun shell I don't have a clue what it should cost...
I have several rifles and a few pistols but I haven't shot them in years... :o
