    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 loads....I guess gone are the days of a pallet of 12 ga sitting in the middle of the floor in the sporting goods section. Any sightings anywhere in the DC metro area or am I gonna get stuck ordering on-line?

    I've just scored this from Cockeysville Walmart. I find it there about every other week.

    I only check a couple of times a week

    None of our local Walmarts have had any target loads since this Covid mess started. The local dicks has also been slim. Hunting loads if they do have any

    I usually stop at three different Walmarts during the week. I found like 12 100 round boxes of 12 gauge 7 1/2 and 8 shot this week at one. One of these stores has it each week. I picked up two more. It was $25 a few weeks ago and now $29. You hve to stop in at least three times a week to get some it seems. We have no limit on shot shells

    I went to a clay shoot today, went thru 50 rounds. Didn't want to tap into my reserves. I was looking at the Frederick and Westminster Walmarts last week, didn't see any. Pretty bad when even cheap target loads are hard to find.

    Haven't seen any in a LONG time, either. That said, if you're willing to pay, you can usually find them online for $100/250 without a lot of trouble.

    Continental Arms had Fiocchi target flats today for $95. If I remember right, they were $80 before the latest shortage.
    I picked up a flat because if I didn't, I wouldn't see anymore for 6 months.

    A guy a the Timonium gun show had 100rd boxes today. Can't remember the brand, $40

    Unfortunately, at 1250 fps, those are too fast for the AGC trap range.

    Is there really a velocity restriction at AGC for trap? Even if there is, 1,250 fps isn't really all that hot. I load my own at 1,090 for 16 yard trap for the reduced recoil, but use 1,200 fps stuff for 27 yard trap and longer sporting clays shots. For dove hunting, I use the handicap stuff that is pushing close to 1,300 fps, which I've also used at PG Trap & Skeet.

    Out of curiosity, what is the velocity restriction at AGC?
