Visiting my mom in Va. and walked through the sporting goods section at Walmart.
I picked up a few tins.
I picked up a few tins.
Probably just from less demand.
Just look at 22 short ammo compared to 22 long rifle.
Logic says the short should cost LESS money because there's less brass less powder and less lead.... But demand says that the 22 short ammo commands the premium price

I remember Walmart stores near me stocking muzzle loader gear but they haven't done so in a long time, at least around here.
Same for .410 shotshells. Less everything but most expensive and harder (if not impossible
) to find.
Years ago I saw some kids shooting Gum Drops out of a 410 with blanks. No idea how they came across blank rounds but eventually one of those kids had to be taken to the hospital to have a gum drop removed from his arse.
Somehow I can see you holding a Black Cat in your hand so you can see it go off close up!
I put together a field loading kit for myself and my son and reload with BP. Takes about a minute to reload a shell, and it's something to do at night sittin around camp.
