I just purchased some at Fly's Etc. in High River today. They had a good assortment of target and game loads.

I've always bought mine from Wholesale sports and never been without. But Flys Etc is a good suggestion. And they are happy to bring in anything you want that they don't have.

Were you looking for something specific?

I need field loads ...1300 fps 1 1/8 loads lead

Waterfowl loads ....# 3 or 4 steel ....

Just as a note .....I bought 6 boxes of Winchester Super Target shells
Each box has a few shells that will not go in the chamber.
The crimp rim is flared . Winchester will pick them up via
purolator and reimburse me ..

Another note ....the Weatherby SA-08 20 Guage will not recycle
the target load ....too new ....it does field loads .

Just glad it's pre season ...thnx

Cycling problems? Did you try the other gas piston?

Most 2-3/4" -20 gauge field loads are either 7/8 or 1 ounce, so the stores generally carry those loadings. I did purchase some 20 gauge Supreme loads with 1-1/8 ounces of copper plated shot years ago, but I haven't bought any in a long time. The Winchester Super Target are horrible as far as quality control goes, I now avoid them altogether.
