Darren mentioned that Rogers has some steel in stock now. I haven't see hardly any steel shot on the shelves @ my local Academy or Wal-Mart, but have bought a dozen boxes over several visits, of AA #8 lead Dove Loads. Figured if I'm gonna get gouged, I might as well get the best! I bought 3" steel shot sporadically last year, as I found it. Bought a case of Kent Fasteel #2, found a few boxes of Blindside (crap)BB & #3, a few boxes of Winchester Expert #4, and still have 12-14 boxes of Remington Sportsman BB & #4, and a few odds and ends, 3 1/2 BB, and a assortment of 2 3/4" #1 and #2. Also still have several boxes of Remington Express 2 3/4" lead #7 1/2,# 6, and #4. A hunting buddy of mine looked at my stash last year, laughed, and said............"you've got more shells than you will ever shoot hunting here in your lifetime".........and the sad thing, he is right! Unless I take a few trips to S. LA or N.MS, my shell bank will stay stocked. I have been buying bullets for my pistols when I see them on the local store shelves as well, in .40, .38, .357 and the occasional .22 hollow points, ratshot, and some sub-sonics.
