Can you not buy the Federal Copper Platted BB shotgun shells anymore? They get rid of them when the duck hunters went to steel? Killed alot of yotes with Copper Platted BB. I guess I'll have to start loading them or special buying them?

Thanks. Ouch. The Federals used to be a regular box of 25 for pretty reasonable.

I have found them at a local store called Rogers Sporting goods in Liberty Mo. I don't know, but they may do online sales. And yes they are great coyote shells. Think I am down to my last few boxes, may have to check myself. grin

Rogers Sporting Goods is the best place to buy shotgun shells online. They do a huge online business.

The nickel plated BBs that Hornady offers work real good. 3" heavy mags out too 50 yards or so..

No. These used to come in a box of 25 like regular shells and not be much more money.

This looks to be the top of one of them boxes I stole of the web.

Occasionally Midway has them, from what I understand they are a limited run product. I did manage to get few boxes of the 10 gauge version a few years ago from them.

Those copper plated Fed BBs were the most killing-est shells ever. Crazy hard to find anymore from what I have seen.

Just another example in my opinion of taking away efficient tools for stupid feel good reasons/marketing etc.

Killed tons of bobcats with them and some coyotes too. Still have a box or two in the cabinet from "back in the day"

No lead shot, no bobcat hunting etc. etc, here anymore.

Maybe hunt something else with them ....

Rogers has that shell in stock. $329 a case of 250. Sometimes they give a price break if you take 2 or more cases.
