Winchester even gives places to shop for these Low Noise-Low Recoil 12 Ga. shotgun shells but I am not finding they actually exist at these stores.  Anyone laid eyes on them anywhere?

Bass Pro had a ton

As stated above, check Bass Pro and Cabelas.  Saw them at both places last week.

B2,

 

If you are already in AZ, BassPro / Cabelas is showing 0 available and not available to ship to store.

 

Midway is approx $138 + Tax with free shipping (no PO Boxes).

 

Federal subsonic (high brass - work well for many shooters (Me, Sass Dancer, Toranado) are available from Midway and Rogers Sporting Goods. around $140 at Midway and $150  at RSG (Free shipping both)

 

Have done much business with both.

 

Ammoseek not showing much available.

 

My understanding is that the LRLN are a periodic run and they may not have made their production run for the year.

Vic I think you are right about the periotic runs.  I had in my cart at Bass Pro but before i ordered they were removed as out of stock.

Sassy Boots likes them and I do also for practice.  Feds did not suck as well for her.

Figure I will see ya soon.

Years ago when I used to buy them from a wholesaler that was local to me, he told me that Winchester only made them once a year and when they were gone they were gone.

 

He said that Winchester would do the run in February so if that’s still true then it’s almost time for them to do another run.

Bet none in Phoenix either.  I'm good for now but like to keep my eye out.  When practicing I sometimes sub most any load for second barrel.  Seems I never notice, especially if shuck is not important.  For that second barrel practice I may have to pick up some Federal Pink Top Gun as they seem to be cheaper than most.  Estate also cheaper and in that 1145 velocity range as the Pinks.

I like the pink ones. They support two of my favorite things.

Billy, if you or anyone else wants to order these, or any ammo, and have them shipped to me for pickup at EOT just PM me for my address. I'll be at the range all day every day from 2/16 on.

Do you see the Pink ones often around ABQ?  I guess I need to try a couple boxes before ordering a case.  Finding prices on Internet at pretty wide spread.  $9-$11/box.

I have not looked in a while for them. I “think” the Walmart in Edgewood has them. Unless they’ve changed, the pink are the same load as their red, white and blue ones. Not exactly light.

Think you are right on both counts.  Their load at 1145 is probably more felt recoil than STS or AA Xtra-lites.  LN-LR being less powder and shot at 980 and I can sure tell difference if first barrel even versus STS.

And I think they are ribbed, if that matters to you.

Never thought ribbed shucked as well in my SKBs.  Not sure why.

You could try the Federal Metro Loads at 900 fps.  They're ribbed and may not work well in doubles, but they are light on recoil.

Was not familiar with that one.  I will have to be looking for some.  Should work for practice.

Thanks Tex

I could be wrong, but I think the main difference is not the ribs but the fact that the heads are steel instead of brass.

Didn't you try these back several years ago?  May be same load as the popular Top Gun high brass round used by some today.

If you can find any, let me know! That is my favorite store bought load. They’re harder for me to find than AAs.

I purchased a couple cases last year. Almost every shell hung up in my shotgun. I tried several guns. Ended up having to run them through my press to resize them and make them round. Had one round that failed to fire. I'll stick with Remingtons.

A couple cases of what? AAs? Their quality has been going  to crap a long time.

I tried one box of the Metro's, nothing I've tried shucks as well as STS, usually LNLR works ok. For me the STS hulls reload better.

 

Right now Midway has free shipping on $100+

 Midway shows them in stock.  Also lots of other sellers on ammoseek.

ALL brands of shotshells have occasional problems.  The night before a match I run my shells through the Slix case checker.  Green arrow.  Any shell that does not drop FREELY all the way to the rim and dump just as freely on the way out goes into a Roger Rapid case taper die that I have installed into a very old Mec case conditioner.  Red arrow.  If the round still will not freely drop into the case checker it does not go to the match.

Probably the best hull on the market is the Remington STS.  However even they have occasional problems.  The most common is a case head separation.  The brass case head is crimped on the one pieced extruded hull and sometimes the crimping is too light.

Agree. One should use the Slix tool for all match SG ammo

AA's, that's what Billy Boots is looking for in the OP.  I know, English 101, one must use clarity. That's what I was taught at LSU. 😀

Sure not the product they used to be and much more pricey.  Wow, remember the rebate days?  S
