Shotgun ammunition is still very available and relatively cheap.
Sure didn’t seem cheap to me. BTW, the store was stripped of almost all other ammo.
Depends on what you want. Birdshot and such is plentiful. 00 & 4 buckshot not too. And *starting* at $1 a round. Ditto for slugs.
A case of birdshot isn't going to make me feel too secure if things get ugly.
