Fellows, Anyone know whether Cabela's still handles the Herters shotshell line? I cannot find the field or target loads on their website. Thanks, Sandlapper

The Herters line of shells has been discontinued. By popular demand.  Gil

Gawd, I loved the old Herter's catalog. World's greatest this and that but fly tying components not readily available anywhere else. I think they went out of business somewhere in the late 60's to early 70's.

Unfortunate for 16ga shooters in particular. They were the least expensive 16's available. The Cheddite hulls also reload fairly well, but don't last very long.

Casualty of the sale of Cabela's to a billionaire.
They were good shells at a good price.
One you understood that they were loaded with chilled shot, they worked just fine for most applications.
They burned clean. I never had a misfire or the slightest problem while shooting up a few dozen flats of them.
Delivered to my door for about $50, there was nothing to not like. One time I even got a free ammo can with each flat.
The Cabela's buy out has been very bad for the consumer, as was predicted to be the case.

Agree 100% I've shot thousands of the Herter's shells with nary an issue. In fact some of my best SC scores were shot with them. I still have 8 flats of the low recoil rounds that I picked up for $27.50 a flat....kind to the shoulder and old guns. MY favorite cheap shell now is the Monarch's 1oz 1350's available from Academy..they generally run around $50 a flat. I did get a killer deal once with a 20% off code and free shipping .... the UPS lady/man hates me!!!
Dodging lions and wasting time.....

The Cheddite loaded (France) Estate shells in the white box were also very good.
I've not seen those in a while.

I bought two flats of the 16 gauge and wish I'd bought more. They were great for shooting skeet in my sxs.
