My life has changed since I was 55, I am now 10 years older, crippled in the legs and feet and no longer can Hunt or even shot Clays.
I still like to blast aqay with my Shotguns and within my limitations, have basically become a "Plinker" and pattern checker (my excuse to just shoot the shotguns at the Club) They don't mind and play along...
Anyhow, ny question is how much ammo should I keep on hand?
Right now I'm down to a couple boxes of 29 ga Buckshot, around 40 rounds of 12ga Buckshot (Both for H/D) and about 4 boxes of #4 Phesant loads for eash gun and about 4 boxes of Target loads for each gun.
Here, in my part of California Target loads are plentyful as are Phesant loads. Of late, 20 Ga Buckshot has been impossible to get! I located 2 boxes (10 shots) of 20 ga at a gun show and grabbed em! 12 Ga is available believe it or not at Wal Mart! But it goes fast so you have to buy it as you can. These are H.D shells and hopefully I'll never need em except to "Pattern" with.
Mind you I am on a Seniors budget and have to buy within reason.
I realise this is a bare bones supply, so hoe many and of what loads should I keep on hand? Please give resonable estimets OK?
Thanks,
