    Yep. Bass Pro has had Winchester and Federal in recent weeks. Anglers in Annapolis too.

    I never thought reloading trap loads would be worth the trouble!

    Yeah a buddy picked up a shotgun reloading setup as part of a deal. Offered it to me for a very good price. As much as I wanted to say yes, I just don’t think even with current prices it is worth it for my time.

    I’ve shot exactly 6 12ga shells in 2 years. Slightly more .410. Basically my boys trying them out at the range on a patterning board. As it is warming up I intend to start taking my 14yr old field and trap shooting down at PG occasionally. I don’t have an unlimited supply of target shells. But I’ve got at least two flats sitting around. That’ll probably get me through this calendar year if I take him once a month. And I really doubt we will get down that often. I’d put money that I’ll get him down there a couple times between spring and summer and fall is just too busy. I might get out once or twice on top of that. So that’s maybe a flat.

    Schrader's on the Eastern Shore sells flats for $100, has been for several weeks now. They're Fetter (made in Russia) so who knows how long they'll have them.

    How weird county
    Check federal premium.com.If they have what you’re looking for they send it right to your door. I think it’s free shipping for orders over 200.00

    Any local stores or IP’s carrying 12ga target loads?

    Thanks

    This is online but LG has gotten orders to me as quickly as 2 days in past:

    FYI - $99 / flat (10 boxes of 25) 12ga
    I am not sure whether their shipping is a “flat rate” or otherwise so, double-check shipping costs …
    27 flats remaining in stock at time of this posting:

    Winchester Low Noise Low Recoil shells, AAFL128, are on my Want List. Just behind a unicorn and a second wife.

    LOL, it was “chasing” ^that^ exact load that got me into reloading … first 1oz, then 7/8oz, then 3/4oz and I am now down to successfully reloading 5/8oz loads - in 12ga!!! No cheerios or other “fillers” either.

    650+ loads per bag of shot and recoil? Hehe, if it weren’t for the noise (and broken skeet targets) one wouldn’t know the gun had gone off!

    - Win AA HS hull
    - Claybuster CB12-0175 wad (the 12ga 3/4oz hot pink wad with the “bump” or mound molded into bottom of the shot cup)
    - 14.9 gr.s Alliant ExtraLite powder
    - Any 209 or Fiocchi 616 primer
    - zero pressure on wad seating ram (final crimp buckles the wad crush section perfectly)
