My theory with ammo is buy as much as you can and still say "well that sucks" if it magically went down 50% in price the next day.
I always try to have a case of duck load and a case of goose load at all times. About half a case of pheasant load and a case or two of target load.
I waterfowl hunt with a guy that buys a case of duck load and a case of goose load each year. He buys them no matter how many he has. Some years he shoots two cases, some years only a half. Last time I talked to him, he had 10 full cases of 12 gauge, 7 cases of 20 and a couple cases of 10 gauge. He watches for good deals in the off season and picks it up.
Most steel shot reloaders stick to 2 3/4 length gold medal hulls or equivalent @1450 fps. Plenty of penetration for normal range.@2ski Too rich for me... I really have yet to be blown away by the performance of any "premium" shotshells. My curiosity has gotten the better of me for those shells a box at a time and I really just don't care about the difference enough to spend the extra $. It adds up quickly.
I hunt 45+ days a season for waterfowl and upland and have never ran out of shells or even come close to it really.I have never understood how even after 2 years of ammo shortages how the average guy that duck hunts 1 or 2 weekends a year, deer hunt 1.5 days and maybe walks for upland 2 or 3 days a year, runs out of ammo.
