Might want to check your local shop if you are looking for 410 shells in 3"

Got call this morning at the golf course from local shop said he got 4 flats of challenger 3" #6 in, that I could have 2 boxes. My name been of a list for almost 2 years.

I have no choice. I have always used 3 in #6 but haven't seen any in over 3 years [ since Trump riot ]
The 2.5 work but i try to use at closer range then i would with the 3.5 in.
I blamed the shells the first year as i couldn't hit crap but turns out it was just me.

picked up my 2 boxes of #6, 3" today. I got 6 flats in so 60 boxes and that didn't cover half the people on the list. He hoping this is a sign that more are on the way. The cost was the same as a box of 12ga 3" steel, $29 which was the same the last time I bought them but then a box of 12ga was 20 bucks.

I think what I will do is put a 2.5 in the right barrel and a 3 in. in the left barrel for backup, maybe stretch out the box of 3"
