Wow. $320.00/cs.
Iām sure thatās what it needs to be, but damn, think what that means to the casual shoot participants.
Out there doing it best I can.

I disagree. Iāve seen too much cost sensitivity at vintage shoots not to.
Out there doing it best I can.

The last time I purchased several cases of their shells, they were $125.00 each. Pity I didn't stock up more! I've been using the more available and less costly Fiocchi 2 3/4" 7/8 oz. trainer loads in my 2 1/2" gun with great effect. Karl

When they were charging $85-125 a flat is when I got serious about reloading. Thatās when AAs were $35 a flat.

I just saw a listing for .410 AAHS Winchester empty hulls selling for $350.00/500 on GunBroker. That works out to $17.50/25 for empty hulls. I can buy loaded shells for less and then shoot them myself. Plus $19.50 shipping. Some of the current prices are insane.

Empty hulls have always been pretty easy for me to come by. About 20 years ago I was at work and one of the guys came up to me and said he heard I shot trap. He said his dad doesn't shoot anymore and he's got a bunch of the old Winchester AA's and he asked me if I wanted them and he would give them to someone. So I said sure. I told him not to bring them into work, because if they caught me with them I'd probably get fired and I would pick them up outside of work. He said okay. About 3 days later, I go out to get in my truck to go home and there's a big garbage bag laying beside my truck door. And I thought, what the heck?? I opened it up and looked inside and it was full of the old AAs. And I thought holy mackerel. So I threw them in my truck and left. When I got home, I threw them up on the shelf in my garage. And they laid up there until last summer when I decided to get them down and reload them. I've loaded about four or five flats with them, and I'm still only about halfway through the bag. They shoot great.......... I used to help run the shoots out at my club and I would bring home all the empty hulls that the guys would throw on the ground. Sometimes, I would keep score and pick up the hulls that the shooters left. Most of them were once fired. A few years ago I ended up with a couple thousand 12 gauge Remington STS and about the same amount of Nitro 27s that all looked about once fired. I decided something had to go. So I took all the STSs out and gave them to somebody at my club. I still have hundreds of Gray Winchester AA's and at least a couple thousand Nitro 27s that I'll keep. A lot of guys at the skeet range shoot 20 gauge. And I have hundreds of 20 gauge Winchester AAs Top Guns. I reload them. And I have probably given away a couple hundred Winchester AAs .410s in the past several years that I picked up but would never use. So, I have enough hulls to last me for a while now that I'm back hunting and shooting again. I got dangerously low on primers in the past, but I'm okay now with them......... Now, I like to go down to the skeet range when no one is there, and pick up clay targets on the ground that have been thrown but aren't broken. So I have piles of them sitting around the house collecting dust.

Some of the current prices are insane. straight out of the gouger's handbook.....at a local lion's club gunshow, a few weeks ago, i saw a fellow with various primers marked $240 - 260 per thousand - don't want to sound unkind....but i hope he chokes on them. best regards, tom

Making a sale is an entirely different issue I will sell you CCI BR2s at $300/1000, but not a penny less. Any takers? Did not think so.
