There's none in the stores and little or nothing online.
I have an easier time finding 16 & 28 gauge ammo. Plenty of 20 ga. shells in Scheels Missoula today. Any of it in lead shot 5s or 6s in field, high base, or 3" in those? Nobody has them that I can find, at least here or online. I'm glad I also shoot a 16 gauge.

You can narrow it down to shot size.
I did 20 gauge, 2 3/4" #5 shot. Comes up with Remington Express XLR, Federal Prarie Storm and others.

Here in Amarillo TX I can buy all the 20 gauge I want. But I can't remember the last time I saw any 410 shells on the shelf. I've ordered it online but sure haven't seen it locally in a long, long time. I was gifted an old Mossberg, bolt action .410. The main purpose was for turkey hunting. I could find some 2.5" #8's, but 3" with ANY shot size are absolutely nonexistent! 😖 I ended up having to purchase two 5 packs of Feferal 3" .410 with #9 TSS! That crap is $6/shell! 🤯 P.S. - but it is a blessing to be able to find 16 gauge ammo again. Selection is kinda slim, but bullets is bullets!

I was lucky enough to score some boxes of Golden Pheasant before the worst of the crunch set in. Probably a lifetime supply, given the bird-shooting prospects these days. Also have turkey loads, slugs, and some buckshot, purchased and given to me.
What fresh Hell is this?

I have an easier time finding 16 & 28 gauge ammo. Not the case here if you use #6 or #7.5 lead. There is even a little variety of 28 and 410, but 16 is nearly impossible to find except for buckshot, slugs, and Federal #6. Fortunately #6 works well in my Heym combination guns, Mossberg 942KA, and Remington 870 and 1100.

Even during the highest point in the ammo shortage, I could still find 28 ga shells when nothing else was on the shelves. I am seeing 12s coming back and once in awhile see a box or 2 of 20 but not often. 410 and 16 are no shows around here.

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

I must do more gun shows than you
L2S, Shotshells in any gauge aren't a problem for me, find them all the time. Have mec 600 jrs in all the gauges for loads I want but can't buy. What I need is a new Gordon or English Setter pup. Buy that young guy you take hunting a new 20 ga Mec 600 Jr so he can keep you supplied..mb

I have two cases of it, but can't shoot a shotgun anymore

Thanks for the link. I'll get a few boxes. I use mostly high base ammo for our chukar, but this is a good dusky grouse load.
