    Dove Loads - Is this our new norm?

    Have been to 3 different Academy's and 3 other gun shops between Beaumont and Corpus. The cheapest a case of dove shot I can find is $99.99 a case before tax. This is for the cheap Monarch stuff that I was buying last year for $50 a case. Is this what we should expect from here on out? It's not going to stop me from hunting, but I'm trying to figure out if I should buy a couple cases at that price of it's going to go up $50 more a case next year? Anyone know where to buy some shells cheaper?

        I think it is quite possibly the new norm. Ammo is high, the price on most ammo has at least doubled. Lucky for me, or maybe unlucky. I was in the habit of buying a few cases every year before dove season but I haven’t had any birds in 5 years so I'm good for now.

          It's exactly why I started reloading again, even bought a 20ga mec grabber to match my 12. For quite a few years due to the price of components it was cheaper to buy shells. Not any more.

            Yep. The days of $40 for a case of winchesters ain't coming back. Everything is $10 a box now, more than that if you like good stuff. Still the cheapest part about hunting though.

                    I have a 12g and 20g but my go to dove gun is my Wingmaster 16g and while I have a couple cases of 7.5 I haven't seen many around lately and if I do find them, they are stupid expensive.

                        $10-$11 per box is what I am seeing everywhere on dove loads.. I would be surprised if they ever drop by much.. Make those shots count...

                            Wow. Glad I bought 10 cases last year. I hope this isn't the new norm.

                              Walmart has a small 'case' of 4 boxes of 3" steel. Last year was $45, this year $65.
