7 flats of hunting shells? Like in 1750 shells? I don’t know where you’re hunting, but for most, that’s a lifetime supply, maybe two lifetimes. :-) If a guy shot 100 upland game birds a year (not counting doves), well that 7 flats should last about 17 years. Maybe a Valley quail hunter who gets a 10 bird limit every trip or an Alaskan shooting Ptarmigan off the Dalton Hwy where the limit is 20 or 50 per day. You get the idea, I think you’re set for a good while.
If you’re an occasional waterfowler, bismuth makes sense, if you’re a hardcore waterfowler who puts months on the water & field…plus throw in being a broke & humble civil servant, you gotta shoot Steel. No other economical choice.
Thanks for the links. Much appreciated. He's full of it.... frAnk...maybe you should stick to topics to know something about, like playing with your own excrement. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/IQuAdzs.jpg)

Those old looking cases prove my point....why don't you sell them to someone that shoots.
Besides that ammo looks a little on the stout side for your old H&H beater gun.
A couple boxes of shells would supply you for a couple of years...

Any chance I could talk you out of those slabs of Gamebore?

Raimey,
I bought these for personal use and imported them. When I bought them, with the shipping rates at the time they would have been very costly. Since that point in time, shipping costs have tripled driving my cost on them to a stupid price. Shipping alone set me back 125$ a flat on them. I hope once freight costs drop I can bring in a bunch more at a reasonable cost. I do not want to sell any of what I currently have on hand.

So, permit me to under this; $125 U.S. of A. a slab of 250 cartridges for Shipping ONLY? I do need to speak with you on the subject macro as well as micro.

That is correct, but when I purchased them shipping would have been 40$ a flat. I bought them in January of 2020 not expecting Covid to triple my shipping costs in the time it took to get the import permits in place. Unless you regularly ship large items internationally the price increase on freight may not be something you would notice. This is large portion of what is driving the current record inflation.

Awhile ago I bought a flat each of 12 and 20 gauge Kent"'Velocity" fiber wad 8's from Ballistic Products. I wish I had bought more. The 20 gauge patterns better than any other plastic wad shells I've tried in my Rizzini with 3" chambers.

Just picked up my second flat of Gamebore 28 gauge in the last three months. Also got a flat of Gamebore 20 gauge when I got the first flat of 28 gauge. I'm buying when I can because I just added 20 and 28 gauges to my shotgun selection this past winter. I would say my strategy of slowly buying an excess of shells to my annual needs is paying off. I am extremely well stocked with 12 and 16 gauge specialty loads for vintage guns and the shortages of the last year have been meaningless to me and would need to go on for several more years before it would affect me.
Ammo. It's compact, it holds it's value, it doesn't go bad. Why not keep a good supply?

I’ve got 6 odd flats of 20 ga, 4 game bore and 2 RST. I think most are #6 but some #7 too. Some are fiber wads. At least one flat of RST are papers. I need to check on specifics. They are all 2 1/2” shells. I’m not sure how to go about selling them or if I can ship them and how much shipping would cost? I doubt I will ever shoot them, so I may as well get them to someone who needs them.
