20ga vs. 12ga ammo availability
20 gauge is almost non-existent in my area. 16 and 28 gauge is each available 4:1 over 20 gauge and 12 gauge is probably 20:1. I pick up whenever I find it. I don't waterfowl hunt but bought a few 2 and 4 shot steel as that was the only 20 available. Recently picked up a Browning Citori and now second guessing not buying a 16 gauge. 12 is taken care of with my Auto-5 and wanted a Citori for some time and thought 20 would be perfect. Love the gun but shells are difficult to find locally. The auction side has plenty, however.

I had the same problem not being able to find 20 gauge ammo,then one day everyone had it and I stocked up.Keep an eye out and it may start showing up in your area.What is extinct around here is 410 ammo.

Just the opposite here by me, 16 is nonexistent and 28 scarce. 12 and 20 seem fairly common but dang it sure is pricey! I have 20 flats of 12 and 5 flats of 20 that I grabbed at $8.50 a box for my September charity cancer shoot in the garage. I cringed at paying that much a few months ago, but I sure am glad I did because prices here are now 20-25% more. I thought with Remington getting back on line that the availability would go up and the prices down. Guess I was mistaken. Bob

Wallynart has plenty of 12-20-28, no 16. It will show up, give it a little more time.

I bought some 12 and 20 last week. NO 16 or 28 in the three stores I checked out.... Turkey loads were sparce also.

Supply (or lack thereof) follows the hunting seasons around here (PNW). Shelves are starting to fill up with everything - except turkey loads. There’s also good 20 gauge availability online.
