#12 shot is like salt. Won't go very far from the 16 yard line. And I've never actually seen #12 shot in a 12 ga shell.
ETA: I think you are talking about 12 ga shells, limited to one box. That makes sense. My bad.

Ammo Shortage Impact?

Gleaned this from another forum I frequent: Interesting difference in just a few miles
I've visited 3 different Walmarts in central Kentucky the last two weeks and the only thing on the self was at one store about 15 boxes of 20 ga AA and a couple of boxes of 16 ga game loads. There were just a few guns in the case but otherwise pretty bare.
Stopped at Sportsman's Warehouse today and again bare shelfs with signs limiting purchase to 2 boxes or 1 100 round bulk pack. They did have a few turkey load shells, but other that than some unusual rifle cartridges ( 220 swift) nothing else.
I don't think there is an ammo shortage. The yabos two blocks either side of my neighbor run through a couple of clip every other night. I am just trying to find their gun store.

For guests at this wedding firework are just not exciting enough. Instead hundreds of bullets are fired into the sky as part of celebrations

As tdb59 knows, I have bayonets for every rifle I currently own except for the SCAR.

This doesn't work, The more ammo I have, the more I shoot. I'm like a kid with a box of chocolates you're trying to ration.

Just out of curiosity I rolled down the ammo aisle at the mart-mart a couple of days ago. Just a few boxes of 28 gauge shells on the shelf. Don’t think I have ever noticed 28 gauge at Walmart before.
I used to run an easy 500 rounds of 9mm through my pistol every single week.
I’ve completely knocked that off. Same with iron sights on my C1. I’ve pretty much quit that as well. But I will run a couple dozen through my long range rifle as I try to work up the best formula for it.

I think the key is being more deliberate with your practice. Choosing low round count drills and competitions will string out the supply much further.
So no ammo is why I didn't see you this weekend. Jimmy claimed you weren't there for a totally different reason.

The 7.62x39 and 7.62x54R was plentiful at the local gun shops here until this last week. Now can't even find that except a handful of paper wrapped bundles of milsurp on the shelf. All the .22 LR disappeared the week before. Now just some boxes of the hunting calibers. Still seeing people lining up to buy firearms but without any ammo that's going to be a problem. Still see some .32, .454, .500 S&W and .50 available though.
A local with a PSL called me yesterday, looking for 54R silver tip,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,warned his ass several times years ago,,,,,,,,,buy it then, will go away one day.
Oh well...............
Some shops will keep ammo back for range use and to make a gun sale.
Maybe a special award is required for guys that only carry the minimum round count as their loadout? That’d be fun!
I carried 2X for Pawnee this past weekend & used nearly all of it, sadly most excess was wasted unfired clearing FTFs due to that glorious Super Glue baby shit clay mud mixed with 60 grit blast media y’all got down on that ranch. It was the worst best time I’ve had this year!

I'm trying to be more "reasonable" and only attend 4 RNGs/yr now. And with so many to choose from now, I just can't get to as many as I'd like to!
And Jimmy scares me. Have you met him?!?!
Well, I hope to see you in Pecos this September.
I did more than meet him. He's having my child in about nine months.
We met in 2019 & spoke briefly on Saturday, too. You were busy & I’m not very memorable anyways. Grey Man and such.
