I just wanted to give my fellow forumites here in the midwest a heads up. I was at my local Meijer store yesterday and stopped to look at ammo on a hunch. They had plenty of Winchester 12 ga. 2 3/4" 1 oz. rifled (Foster) slugs (X12RS15) for $3.00 a box of five. I haven't seen them for less than $4.00 for quite some time, and I doubt I'll ever see them cheaper. Of course, I bought ten boxes.
My Ithaca Deerslayer loves them.
