gnttn Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 There’s a real shortage of slugs, in particular sabot loads right now. I can find rifled slugs without too much trouble but the sabots, especially 20ga. are almost non-existent. Glad i stocked up when i did on the accutips. It almost would make sense to buy a smooth bore barrel for my sons 870 and sight in some rifled slugs if the situation doesn’t improve any time soon.

gregtpal Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I've been thinking handloading some for a long time to save $. slugs are probably easy enough to do in small quantity with hand loaders. No idea where to get quality slugs in bulk for handloading, assuming they are even available somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregtpal Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 You got the motherlode there. I tried to order a case from that store near you that you got the expanders from but they said they would take the order in February but then wouldn't when I called. That was just a hoarde attempt. I already had about 12-15 boxes Accutips & expanders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think one guy preparing early is the problem.....the problem is guys wait until the last minute and wonder why they can't find any. I bought plenty in June.

BHC Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I posted everytime I found slugs in stock, not my problem that many are procrastinators and to lazy or cheap to buy them when available. Will use them all most likely not, but one thing is I don't have cry/bitch and scramble to find what I need You snooze you loose thefirstndsecond, barrike, FDhunt1213 and 2 others 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHC Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Also I didn't find them all in one place, I purchased from various places...midway was one place allowing 2 boxes only, that told me other stores would have them. Someone here told me of a local store having them I went purchased a case and while there ordered another case which both the store and I where surprised they had them in 2 weeks. I even offered at the time to pick up for those that could order and pay for them, but for whatever reason the store changed their policy thefirstndsecond 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
