They don't make 16 gauge shotgun shells anymore

[Lee]

Ha!  That's what a gun store clerk told me the other day when I asked to buy some.  I went down the road to a freakin Meijer grocery store and found a bunch.  Was browsing the net today to learn a little more about the Win Model 12 16g that I just bought - several online posters claimed that the value was higher than 12g - "because they don't make the shells anymore".  Where do people come up with this stuff?  As far as I can tell, just about every major manufacturer still makes the stuff - in many flavors.  Jeez.

I have a stockpile of 16 gauge and every time I run across more I buy a few boxes.  It is a little too much for quail but if I end up in Michigan again it seems to be just about perfect for grouse.

you believe everything you hear at a gun store?

[Lee]

Depends...not usually for more than a few minutes.

I could understand somebody, if they don't know that places other than walmart sell ammo, believing that they only make 12 & 20 now.  But a guy in a gun store?

I'd love to have me a 16g that was a true 16g frame.

Also what I have read the 3" 20g is pretty much killed the 16g shotgun.

16 is the perfect shotgun - 12 gauge performance with 20 gauge recoil

I was told by a sales guy at a Gander Mountain store about 10 years ago that 6.5x55 ammo was no longer made because the .260 remington made it obsolete.

Good thing I reload 6.5x55 and that the 260Rem keeps 6.5mm bullets around or I'd be in trouble.

I asked the LGS owner about getting me a KelTec Sub2000 in 9mm/Glock config.  He told me since they'd recently been banned, he'd ordered the last two the distributor had, one to keep and one to sell.

Lying bastard.

You all need to practice your

Ah, the unmitigated joy of dealing with counter monkeys.

The only one I jump all over is finding 2.5" 16ga since I have 2 that eat those. Little scarce, but I have a 16ga problem...

When I got my first M96, it shot phenomenally with Remington core-lokt factory loads, so I orderd 3 more, but couldn't find ammo after that point.
