      Walmart 12GA Target Loads - Any Availablity Anywhere

      I stocked up on plenty of ammo a number of years ago, or so I thought, but it seems one blind spot for me was 12 ga target loads. I don't think I've been in a Walmart for 3 years or so but stopped by the one in Leesburg last week and there was zero ammo of any type, let alone any 12 GA target...

      I'm not a gunsmith but I've probably built about 40 ARs over the last 10 years or so between my own stuff, friends, family, plus stuff at work and I've been to a number of armorers courses for ARs through work. With the glut of AR parts and prices as good as they are I've been buying some...
