A quick look in the ammo locker tells me that I have a ton of #8 target loads in 12-gauge. I must have missed more dove seasons than I can clearly remember!
Slugs, a few.
00-buckshot, 25 rounds, plenty for now.
#6 game loads, enough for 2 or 3 seasons.
#4 field loads, plenty on hand but all lead shot, so limited use these days.
BB-shot, 2-3/4" magnum loads (my favorite for around the house defense), about enough to make anyone sorry they bothered me.
3" magnum loads, none at all. My 12-gauge has a 3" chamber but it is owned by a total wussy-guy. Enough is enough!
Interestingly, I find that I still have about 20 rounds of all brass Winchester 12-gauge 2-1/2" 00-buckshot. I seem to remember that those came with an old Model 1897 Winchester in a trade deal about 40-odd years ago. Interesting to look at and speculate, but I doubt I'll ever fire them.
Edit: A lot of the factory boxes I have still have price tags of $2.47 or $2.89. I suppose the only way to see those prices now is to look in my ammo locker.
