.410 shortage

[ccc]

So what is behind the shortage and crazy prices for ammo when you can find them ? I mean all ammo is still high, but it seems .410 is still really hard to find and really expensive !

Plenty at a fair price over in Mobile at mobile Shooting Center.

Gulf coast gun in Milton has it, it’s just way high.

Walmart has it sometimes. Gotta be quick, still high though.

I feel bad I don’t have several hundred rounds in stockpile. Recently grabbed another box. Last box I bought was 30 years ago. Think I’ll survive a 410 shortage. I just don’t shoot much of it. 12/16/20 covers me.

Right, I have 2 of the revolvers, one revolving carbine they are fussy about the rounds.

How can a revolver be fussy about a shotshell?

Some have odd crimps and won't go in or are hell to get out after firing.

LOL, I thought you were trying to stuff 3" shotshells into a 2-3/4" wheel chamber.

Nope! Seems to have more trouble with certain brands that are ribbed.

Just ribbing you.

Also some can lock the cylinder. Test before use!!

.410 has never (in my lifetime) had a big draw. It's only recently with the advent of the Taurus Judge and the S&W Governor that .410 has just fallen off the planet. However, I don't know why there should be a shortage. Demand must be the highest it's been in decades.

I never understood the .410 attraction at all, even as a youngster I would rather use the 20ga if I was concerned with recoil.
AND you could buy 2 maybe 2 1/2 boxes of 20/12 for the price of 1 box of.410 shells

My grandfather used to live right on the Sopchoppy River and he always kept a double barreled .410 by the back door (on the river side) for pests. I think I only ever saw him use it once for a moccasin that was sunning itself where he wanted to fish.

So what is current price per round?
What's the old price/what's a good price?

It's time for me to sell off my 410 collection.

I have a nostalgic love for them. My first gun was a single shot 410. Great farm gun.

I wonder if chamber-honing would help? Sure fixed my Winchester 1300 that had suffered neglect after firing Scarecrow cartridges (I believe they were Black Powder-powered : )

I honed with Marvel Mystery Oil, since I really didn't want another "specialty-lube" on top of the hundred I already have!

I’m the same. My shoulder after a bunch of surgeries will not let me shoot anything above a .20, but have always had a love for a .410 shotgun, from a snake charmer to a long gun. Just have always liked them
