If you’re a preparedness minded individual like myself, you probably have a well stocked larder, ample survival gear, and a few ammo cans full of rifle and handgun ammunition. But if Uncle and NJT are wrong, and the Zombie Apocalypse happens, AND if it turns out that shotguns ARE the best tool to put down brain eating shamblers, I’m going to be woefully short on ammo. The one thing I’ve not seen for sale in, well, ever, is bulk defensive shotgun ammunition.
Sure, you can buy a case of 12 gauge loads, but I’ve only ever seen Dove, Waterfowl, and trap or skeet loads available by the case. I’m sure you CAN get bulk 00 buckshot loads or slugs, but for the life of me I can’t think of a good source.
So, does anyone have a good (and cheap) source for full-power 12 gauge 00 buck loads and/or slugs?
I’ve been stockpiling the Remington OO buck that Walmart sells for about $10/15. I haven’t seen it in every store, but two near me have it regularly. It isn’t great, but it patterns decently and is certainly better than the Winchester military OO buck with the felt wads.

Love their prices.
BulkAmmo.com and Rio brand shells. Excellent shells at good prices.
Carteach0, I looked, but all I could find at http://www.bulkammo.com/shotgun/bulk-12ga-ammo is a little message telling me “There are no products matching the selection.”
FWIW, I was really disappointed with the patterning of Rio reduced recoil buckshot from both my 1100 and my brother’s Mossberg 500. I think the important lesson there is to order a handful first to test the load in your guns, then lay in a supply of what works for you.
pdb, this is why I bleg. I’m always willing to learn from other people and let them spend their money to find out what works and what doesn’t.
Check out sgammo.com’s shotgun offerings. They have nice deals on Winchester Ranger 00 (regular and low-recoil) right now.
