You don't have to overpay if you're willing to do a little bit of scouting. Multiple online retailers and forums like GON and ODT are all starting to come back down to more reasonable prices. I doubt we'll ever see $.13/rd again, but I've just bought two cases of 12 and 20 and paid around $.30/rd. More than I am used to, but far less than this time before last season!
Academy in Cumming just had Monarch on sale for $7.99 with a limit of 10 boxes last weekend. Bass Pro in Lawrenceville was selling Herters for $8.49, and had about 400 in stock. Able's Ammo online had a case of Winchester Super X for $74.99. I spend about 10 minutes a morning looking through a few sites, and if I see a good deal on something I need, I'll grab it. Otherwise, I move on and let someone else get a good deal.

I get a lot of my .410 shells from Ables. They are usually very good on pricing. I'm glad I have put back cases over the last few years. I have feeling shells may be very hard to find come the week before season.
Check Walmart every time you ride by one and have a few minutes to spare . I’ve been lucky at mine and able to stock up on all calibers I needed . Only place I’ve seen normal prices also . I bought me and my dad enough dove loads to last a couple seasons just in case . You just got to get there early and during the week

Check out web site ammo seek, they provide listings and prices of shells from multiple places so you can compare prices.

I found some Nobel sport heavy field loads at a local store for a decent price and got 3 cases.

Ace Hardware in Social Circle had Rio shells. Might want.to call before driving there. Didn't look to see how much.
Have you shot the Noble's before? Just curious, as i see them a lot now but never shot them.

I bought 4 boxes of 20 gauge at academy in Warner robins yesterday. I also bought a 100 round pack at Walmart in Warner robins yesterday. Bass pro shops had cases of Herter shells yesterday in Macon.

I haven’t yet, I will be shooting clays within the next few weeks with them.
I’ve shot them the last few years in my .410. No issues at all and seem to be a very good shell.

OooWeee...dove shooting is gonna be expensive this year. Stopped today and yesterday at 9 places that are usually starting to stack dove loads for sale by now. Not one of them had flats - 12 or 20 ga. I looked on ammoseek.com for 20ga #8s or #7.5s. What was available ranged from $109 - $150 per flat. Hopefully as the opener nears, supplies will get better and so will prices...

Drove from KY to NC last week, stopped by 10 places from Walmarts, chain sporting goods stores and mom/pop stores, found 6 boxes of Estate 8s, that was it.
I've been looking at the normal places I order from and it is slim, slim pickings. What you can find is about 75% higher than normal.
Unless something changes, there are going to be a lot of dove hunters that can't get shells. Especially since the majority wait until the week before to find them. I'm mighty happy I've been putting cases back over the last few years.

Academy in Newnan had 2 pallets full of dove loads yesterday , seemed like normal prices . I didn’t purchase any , that was the first ammo I stocked up on when this craziness started
