Shenk Shotshell Co. out of Pennsylvania. Taking preorders now for 12 gauge offerings. FAQ says 16 gauge will be the next to come in 2023.

It’ll be interesting to see if they can actually get components. Hopefully they can of course. Hopefully they more choices than 8 and 6 shot. I prefer 7 or at least 7-1/2 but beggars can’t be choosers. |

I asked them if they would get into components like 16 ga hulls. They said it's been talked about after they get on their feet more.
I imagine they are trying like many other dealers. The bigger the order the quicker they're served. |

Certainly the highest prices I've ever seen for shotshell ammo. Then again, what's the value of the hands, fingers and eyes of yourself and the fellows near by . . . |

No mention of pressure.
Anybody see mention or know of pressures on the site other than "Low"? |

Excellent. I asked them to put me on the list for future 16ga loads. I reload, but it's great to have options. |

I'm in for a case of #8s. We'll see when they show up. I see RST also has some 12 gauge 2 1/2" ammo back in stock. |
