Hey friends. I had a cousin who passed away of a stroke back in September. His wife gave me a very nice single shot .410 breakover shotgun that he owned.
Cannot find any ammo for it at all. If any of you guys could locate some #6 shot in any brand, please advise. I’m not looking for cases of the stuff, just maybe 2 or 3 boxes of 25 shells per box.
Be advised, I am no terrorist of felon. :)
Fleet Farm has them online!

I have found then online. They are pricey. I have not found any in the stores in my area
Looks like Sportsman's Warehouse has them.
I think you'll find this is the case most places. Almost all ammo has been in short supply since Covid and manufacturers can't meet demand. Stores never know when or what ammo they'll get. Finding what you want in stock is like winning the lottery. Online is almost as bad.Quote:

I was at the Southaven, MS Sportsman's Warehouse yesterday. They had 16, 28 and 12 gauge shells only.
My granddaughter has a 410 and can't find ammo either.
You should really consider a case if you can swing it. It wont go bad if stored correctly, and shells are not going to get any cheaper. Better investment than the stock market.
I had cases of hunting loads in storage for years and didn't have a use, sold all the ones I didnt need to buddies and friends of friends during the shortage for about 4 times what I paid.

Been seeing .410 ammo on our local auction site lately. Not sure what kind of prices, length, or size shot. That usually is an indication around here that shells are starting to hit the shelves. Used a .410 for a few years for turkey and squirrel hunting. Sure was fun.
Didn't see any at Sportsmans, Bass Pro or Academy today
Don't use my 410 a lot but haven't had troublew finding it either. Seem's like the last box I got came from Wal Mart! I doubt manufacturer's have trouble keeping up with the supply of anything but are holding on to high cost!
have not seen a box of 410 shells in forever here , but also don't know a soul that has a 410 either ....
used to use one when I was little fella , swear it kicked harder than a 12 gauge
one thing for certain they are not very forgiving. to hunt with ....:Rofl
Certainly have been hard to find for a long time. I have seen some 28ga lately
If I can’t find ammo, I’ll probably sell the gun. No reason to have it if I can’t use it.
An on line company called Mutiny Machine always sends out adds that they have it in stock.
Tombigbee sports in Amory ,MS has Winchester 410 shells . 662-256-5671
You will find some. Don't sell it. Will fit in rod storage in your boat. I like having one for a "boat" gun.Quote:

If you get stopped by a fed warden he is going to run you through the wringer to try and figure out what crime you are going to commit with that gun, since you have "no reason to have it". Been there, done that. Tossed a shotgun in the boat during spring snow goose season just in case i came up on a roosting flock. Trust me, not worth the hassle of him digging through your entire boat to try and find all your "hidden guns".Quote:

This is not the case in Mississippi. If it’s legal, you’re good. As far as ammo goes, have you checked out Apex? They have legit .410 ammo. Their turkey loads are unsurpassed.Quote:

The federal wardens dont see it as common sense as we do. Im speaking from experience, you don't want the hassle. State wardens couldnt care less hereQuote:

Never heard about a problem except if you launch in a park it must be unloaded . In Arkansas there is some hunting season open nearly all year long.
have a .410/.22 inherited myself and LOVE it for fall season of squirrel hunting and then especially where fall turkey is on as well. You come across a flock o young ones and then you can sit and call them back in with just your mouth and that will flat lay them out.
BTW get the 3 inch mag loads only. the 2.5 inch ones won't hardly kill a squirrel.
bought a case sometime back from sportsman warehouse and havn't had to buy for a long time as you don't shoot that many of them in a season. course depends on how the squirrel population is. they are a great gun IMO. love my old stephens.
