16ga.com ~ View topic - Is Cabela's still selling the Herrter's #8 shot loads?

Just wrote a small blurb about our group and how the load was fairly important to us 16 gauge shooters that shoot clays. Told them I have bought over 30 flats and will buy more. An hour later they were restocked!

I'm still sitting on about 6-7 flats, but got nervous and with $5 shipping just ordered two more. Thanks for the heads up!

My local Cabelas has 3 flats of the 1 1/8oz 7.5. Is this overkill for skeet?

The recoil would be significant
Overkill??? Depends on the gun and skill Smile

Yesterday at the range I chronographed various rounds and shot a couple rounds of trap. I clocked Herters #8 Dove and Quail at 1155 fps at 3 ft. I did well at trap with it after I switched to full choke. If I pointed the gun in the right direction it obliterated the birds. IC resulted in a lot of chips and dusters. Maybe its supposed to be that way.

According to the MEC reloading cost calculator, a box of Herters from Cabelas (at the sale price) is over a buck cheaper than my reloading cost.

I'm glad the product is still available.

Wish they had that load in stock here.

I saw they posted a free shipping promotion. While I was thinking about what else I might want to order, the #8s disappeared. That will teach me.

Kind off the subject, but has anyone tested the pressures on these shells? Reason I ask is I do not worry about shooting them thru my M21 or my Fox or Parker, but what about a light English sidelock gun? Also worried about the recoil to these old stocks. Any thoughts...? My Model 21 I don't worry about but the rest well................

Just picked up a flat at Cabelas Rogers, Mn.
They had no single boxes and this was the only ones I saw in #8, but they had 1 ounce of #6 shot.
