I don't actually HAVE any of those Federal $7 shells, but I'm thinking about putting a five round box on lay-a-way for next year...Geo

GLS, it's not, of course, the cost, but simply that the old ammo was just as satisfactory. So, for now improvement, why pay 4-5 times more? Or even 12 times more.

In the big game world there is madness over "premium bullets" as if Remington Coreloks was incapable of killing anything anymore.

If you want to spend $7/shot, you don't need my approval to do so. I'll kill mine just as dead my way.

If they will be $10 a box next year, I'll buy some for an investment, then take my profits and buy a new gun. But I am not optimistic that their is a killing to be made in the ammo market unless we can get an Obama clone re-elected and drive ammo prices through the roof again. Oh how well THAT panic button worked for some people. wink

Brent, my .410 patterns at 40 yards are better than the "old" 12 gauge patterns shooting "old" lead loads. My 20 gauge out shoots my old 3.5" 10 ga. loads that shot lead. Good for you shooting the old ammo out of your granddad's Model 97. That works for you. Shooting a .410 and killing them just as dead works for me. Isn't it nice to have a choice? Gil

Not really. I have no use for a .410. I'll take the 97 or any of 8-12 other guns before I take a .410. I don't shoot deer with a .22 either. But it works, so I could.

Well, Iowa won't let you use a .22 for deer or any gauge smaller than a 20 ga for turkeys and limits shot size to 8 and larger.

That's true, just like using a .410 or 8.5 shot is illegal. I rather like Iowa's rules in this respect, and I do like being legal. So, .410s and 9 shot is pretty much a solution to a problem I don't have.

Thanks again for sharing this morning with me. It was fantastic! That was an amazing morning and what a show! The two with him were still gobbling when George drove up. He eased in the woods beside me and we fooled with the remaining two birds for a few minutes. They were hot! What a paint brush of a beard on that bird. All around irreplaceable morning
