I was in Academy yesterday and they had 6 pallets of 12 gauge loads out but no 20 gauge. Don't they put flats of 20 out?

Where do you find Rios? The only place I find Rios is at B&S guns in garland. And if I'm correct there about $7 a box

They are a new item, so stocking is sketchy. Academy is only stocking load #28 in 12 gauge. You'll still have to go to Cabela's to get load HV32.

If you aren't picky and your birds fly lower the #28 load will kill birds. I prefer the 'wall of lead' approach with the wind and high fliers we deal with. I've considered trying a case of the Texas Loads, but they are pricey at over 90 per case.

For some reason they don't have the item Rio #IK - 217170 at Cabelas.

GAUG: 12HV -- 1 1/4 #8

I ordered a case for 69.99 on June 29th and picked them up.
Went on the site to order a few more and no dice.

Those Texas loads are pricey. Nice shells, but pricey.

Winchester AA's have a $20 per case mail in rebate on them. Max of $100 or 5 cases. Tough to beat AA's

For those of you in Houston, don't bother going to Carters...They have next to nothing, a 10 box limit and higher prices.
