That one caliber you bought a gun for but can't find ammo

[Alan]

I picked up a rifle in .300 Blackout last year because I got a good deal. The problem is I've only found ammo for it twice and it was expensive both times. The gun just sits there looking pretty. Anyone else buy something and then realize ammo's impossible to get?

Yep. 6.5-300 Weatherby. 240 Weatherby....heck anything Weatherby.
I have found that without The Brown Truck of Happiness (UPS) most of us would be in trouble on ammo supplies.
The big online shooting distributors and specialty ammo houses are about the only way to get oddball ammo.

I usually get 2 boxes of ammo and the reloading dies and roll my own.

Looks like it is time to take up reloading.

I have numerous Wildcats and obviously no factory ammo available. So all of them are handload only propositions.

I don't own either of these two shotguns, but I always do a double take when I see 16 gauge shot shells - just to do a price comparison and most recently I saw some 28 gauge shells at Rural King. Kind of odd to me we adopted the .410 as a standard instead of the 28 G. I have yet to ever see a 10 G shot shell.

Actually 28ga is recently become very available.

I get most of my 28 ga. ammo on Gunbroker, plenty of it and at reasonable prices as well. I believe the 3 1/2” 12 ga is why we don’t see the 10 ga anymore. I never shot one. I like the 16 ga and hope to own one soon. But I really enjoy the 28, it’s a Browning BPS.
