I'd be in for a flat depending on the dates of order Drez.

Any updates on what ammo and cost this is??

Not yet, Harry. I was trying to see if people were interested enough to do this or not. Now that I see there is a lot of feedback, I will start calling suppliers and comparing prices. I was at a local shop today and heard the owner talking about having half a pallet of birdshot, and I was busy doing something and ended up forgetting to ask him about it. So it'll have to wait till next week as he is closed weekends.

 

If we have a couple of you volunteering to pick it up, that would be great! I'm hoping I can talk to that local shop as it's in the Clinton area and would make it very convenient.

I would be in for a case and couple cases of 9mm if that happens

I would be willing to help with pick up since live in next to clinton

I usally get # 7 1/2 and #8, at $55 or better a case. I found #9 with 3/4 oz almost useless for Knockdown Steel. I guess that load is good for Skeet, doubt it would be good for Trap.

No problem, let me know, I'd be in for some 7 1/2. At least a case and knowing me, probably more depending on the price.

250 shells per case with typical target loads (#7 1/2 - #9)

I'm down for a few cases too Drez. Thanks for taking lead on this. I'll be happy to help wherever possible. Maybe I can pick up from Clinton and people up north/east can pick up from me (Parsippany).

I'll drop a Benny on 2 cases.

 

That's how I look at it, if I get to point and laugh at a person while I'm picking it up it would make the whole thing worth while - QUESTION THO- Do you have to specific exact amounts, will there be extras in other words/ I say two cases but maybe I get down and decide I'll take 3, 4 5 ? maybe would there be a prob?

 

 

I am going out tomorrow and breaking in/trying out the new Saiga 12 I got my Dad for Christmas with him, and I plan on going through at least a case of 7 1/2 and hopefully we'll be starting out with as many Winchester Super-X value pack 15-rd boxes he will spring for at Walmart before we go, and I have a thing about having a couple-few thousand 12 gauge shells at all times available so if this is a good deal I might want to pick up more.

I would say it's safe to say that we are easily in the two pallet range if not three pallets.

Is this light target ammo? If so, I can't run that reliably through my 11-87. Need higher velocity/higher dram ammo for it to cycle properly.

 

Time for a Beretta. They shoot anything.

Also, I just checked my supplies, and I'm getting light on 20 guage. So, ya know, maybe round two could include that. Just sayin'...

Not to build on the order, but if 20GA was also an option, I'd go in for probably 1 or 2 cases of that also..

If someone would be willing to deliver to the Central Jersey area I will buy a few. Not interested in driving to North Jersey though.

Im good for 2 cases of trap shot 1-1/8 #8 shot -12 gage

Mike for you and I and others local to us I'm think only 1 person would be needed anyway. Will see what happens.

Damn, a lot of interest so far lol.

 

For right now, I think we should start with one pallet. If everyone who says they are interested ends up going through with it, then we know we have buyers for a second pallet in the near future.

 

I started doing my work for this. I've called about 4 local places already and so far, nothing under $62 a case. I'm trying to check with places in the area of what I call central jersey (78/287 area) just because it would be easy to pick up and deliver to Clinton for the shotgun meet. I guess I should try some other retailers as well, just to see pricing. If we could get good pricing from a farther retailer, we could all toss a couple bucks and pay for the person's gas who picks it up with their truck.

 

I'm not sure if we are going to get a low price with our local places, unfortunately. A lot of our local shops are making profit of just change on every box of birdshot they're selling.

 

So far, I hate to say it, but Cabela's has the best price. Usually Federal is on sale in the $50 price range (sometimes $54.99 a case). If we could somehow wait to get a good coupon for them (that employee pricing would have been perfect), we could really do well with case prices.

I am Central Jersey too so if someone was doing a Central Jersey run I would be interested in taking advantage if possible. (Not begging but if someone said like "HeyI got a big truck/SUV and I am going up no problems, I'll pick up your stuff etc." I would be interested.

 

HAS anyone thought about Walmart? PA Walmart where I shop for everyrhing but of course never ammo sells Federal 7 1/2 100rd value packs for $23.97 regular price and occassionally sales, maybe they would do us a pallet or something along the lines?
