This is still my 2nd favorite 00-Buckshot round...The Enbloc special.
On your recommendation a case of these is literally the last ammo I have purchased since July 2020, it was $69.80 at that time.
At today's prices and availability, this Wolf offering is a great deal and should not be overlooked.

Fortunately I have some coming from CMP this weekend that I ordered back in February.
Their e-store has been down all morning.

Hell if brass hits $300 I'll max out the CC I recently paid off and never have to worry again. Of course my UPS guy will hate me that day.

Just a little advice for the people still trying to get .55cpr for 9mm in the classifieds. Time to rethink your pricing. Same thing goes for 223 for .60cpr. You missed your window of opportunity.

Oh no, I'm going to buy it for .37 cpr now and still advertise if for .55 cpr. I'm sure some people will not have seen the adjustments yet

Noticed that, but also noticed Midway is doing a 10% off on optics combined with a Birthday sale price on items and the NODS, thermal, and other optics are calling to me.Getting close. .37 for prime

Sub 40cpr and it's still there. A month ago there would have been old ladies trampled for the chance to buy this.

Was tempted by this, 40cpr for non-prime, but I still have 1 1/2 cases of Federal that I paid 23cpr so I'm going to hold off. If it goes to 30cpr, I'll probably buy at least a couple cases and if it hits 25cpr, I'll buy a few more.
I hate to say even the dealers on NES need fo rethink. As much as I love those dealers, it’s a tough sell for 223 at 75 cpr
What is your favorite? Is this reliable for HD?
What happened to all those notices/releases about price increases to distributors over the last quarter?

#1 for me, is Federal 00-Buck 8-pellet with Flight Control. I've found that the 8-pellet groups better than the 9-pellet, which tends to have a flyer...
Put in your due diligence though and Pattern it in you shottie and make sure it feeds well. Don't just buy and stack it in the back of a closet. RUN IT!
Reliable? As reliable as Death & Taxes...
Wolf is very, very dependable also, and groups well in my 870's/500A's/590A1. It is my training round that, I would not hesitate for a flat second, to trust for Home Defense
or Personal Protection. It is Good-to-Go.

Sounds like a deal to me! One extra pellet for free and it has a chance of hitting your target.

That's not what I meant though. A "flyer" can de dangerous in certain circumstances by not patterning tightly with the other 8.
Free? Yes.
Good? Maybe...

Here is a photo of an open 8-pellet. Note the copper-plating which helps keep the buckshot from deforming.
It also has a buffer in the shell (small white grains) to help keep the payload from shifting during ignition and a little bit of the first couple of feet after leaving barrel.
Lastly, "Medium Brass" shells which provide a better stiffness of construction (than low brass) when the shells are extracted/ejected.
Here's a 9-pellet with a different wad and buffer, and high brass...

Every time.
If I stop at cabelas, and see a crowd by the ammo case, the only thing I hear are dolphin noises now.
Start playing that video when you walk by them
After regular visits through all of this, I stopped checking Cabelas more for pricing reasons than availability. A couple months ago I got brass 9mm there for ~35cpr. Since then they seem to have gone against trend and raised their prices. .75/rd .223 and the like.
to be fair they also were the last to raise prices, I was buying ammo there at precovid prices for half of 2020. Large corporation's are just slow, so now they are slow to lower their prices.
