good luck, almost non existent anymore. I bought 2 boxes of 3" several months ago as local store got a couple flats in and limited people to 2 boxes to spread them around. I been giving my hulls to my butcher and he told me the other day that he got some reloads for me. 2.5" show up once and awhile but I really don't like them as it makes for to many wounded squirrels that require followup shots.

yup shocking that .410 ammo still is so scarce. Figured someone would be working overtime as demand is so high. Got my Browning BPS .410 up for sale as replaced it with a Stevens over/under in 28g. Think it hasn't moved on as no ammo to shoot it.

Fin, think you going to have that up for sale for awhile, not a good time to sell a 410. I have 2, a side by side and a bolt figure I will die with them. how are the shells for the 28ga, I assume not that hard to get?

As I'm not in a rush to sell it not a problem, its only up for sale as never got a taste for a pump and the 28g over/under really has become a darling for my upland hunting. As far as ammo depends what you are looking for. As I needed mostly 71/2 lead for my upland hunting initially lucked out at Bass pro and found a decent amount though it was $23 a box. Later on found a couple of boxes of 6 and a box of 4 at a canadian tire in Stratford though those where almost $30. Just recently bought a case of 71/2 again at bass pro so should be good for next fall.
Don't know if you clicked on the link but the only .410 ammo listed as in stock is #9 in TSS at $80.00 a 5 pack. Them would be awfully expensive squirrel.

Cant figure this out , it,s been over a year that 410s are for the most part not avaiable, seems 12,20,even 16s are there but why not 410s...anybody got a clue ??
Could be its just a rumor but the SAVE OUR GROUSE ..society might just have something to do with it...LOL

it is amazing that they don't make enough of them. when they are available they are over 30 a box so I been told after they are all sold. think it time to buy a 20ga for squirrel hunting. Have a friend that is reloading them now and will give a few boxes, but don't want to have to depend on his generosity.

Not sure about squirrel, but for grouse a 20 gauge is perfect. Versatile, with the ability to have slugs and use as a deer gun, bought my daughter one last year for Christmas.

Dang if I had a friend with a reloader would gladly give sweat equity and money for supplies and reload my own. Currently looking for a 28g "friend" for my needs. Though surprisingly been pretty easy to find the shells I need.
Ammo, 410
