HERTERS SHOTGUN AMMUNITION

mg1polo · Jul 31, 2019

Hot off the press.
Bass Proshop/Cabela's will be re introducing the HERTERS brand of shotgun ammunition.
This NEW ammunition is,
MADE IN THE USA.
No idea what the quality is like.
I do know that the retail case price is set at, $59.99 per flat on all 12 & 20 ga. $119.00 per flat on 28 ga and .410 bore.
I know that there were a bunch of shooters that really liked the old Herters for one reason or another.
There will be 8 Target loads and 28 Hunting loads, including 8 sku's of non-toxic steel shot hunting loads available.
Calibers range from 12, 16, 20, 28 & .410.
As far as Target loads go, here is the line up.
20ga, 7/8th oz, 7 1/2 and 8's at 1200 fps.
12ga, 1oz, 7 1/2's & 8's at 1180 fps
12ga, 1 1/8th oz 7 1/2's & 8's at 1145 fps.
28ga, 3/4oz, 7 1/2's at 1200 fps.
.410 bore, 1/2 oz, 9's at 1200 fps.
That's all I know,

I liked the 1 oz. low recoil loads.
I hope the quality and availability is there.
Thanks

Unfortunately, I don't see the low recoil loads listed in the "master hunting catalog". Lightest load is your standard 1180 fps 1 oz., not the old 1-1/8 @ 1060 fps.

Does not look like the low recoil version (1 oz. @1,060) is included...
Thanks for the info. though, mg1.

My catalog I received Monday agrees with you. I hope this is a sign that prices are coming back down. I have posted before that these things are commodities like gasoline.

Judging from the ad posted below I would say you know a great deal more about these shells then you are letting on.

The new hurters ammo is being made by Winchester its similar to the white box promo shells

mg1polo · Jul 31, 2019

LOL,
Too funny!
The new box's have a new look.
Unfortunately, they didn't include me in the packaging artwork!
Your version was much better!

I really wouldn't use Bass Pro / Cabela's as a barometer for the cost of ammunition. Their pricing is very high in comparison to the market.
Even pricing at the Grand, is approx.
12% less expensive on quite a few brands. I guess if Herters is your only option, it's ok at best.
Promotional shells are abundant in the $56.00 range.

I could practice with the OLD Herters shells in my Ljutic (with the help of a
squirt of DRY LUBE).....hope the NEW version will work as well !!!

blackandgold · Jul 31, 2019

Funny, I brought this up a while ago. Looks like they did come back. The Cabelas clerk in Triadelphia, WVA said Winchester is the manufacturer. Seems we are all hearing the same things.

That says enough for me...…...NO SALE

Another steel base line of shotshell ammo for those too cheap to buy quality brass base ammo. Keep supporting this type of junk and soon it will be your only choice, then at a much higher price point.

Before the merger you could buy $100 gift cards for $80 on ebay. Made more sense to buy Herters and use the discounted gift cards with free shipping.

Don't GO NEAR THEM ,Unless u like pierced primers if using a Bt-99....I contacted the management about my Damaged Firing Pin from there CRAP ammo and Got Know response...

Yea , it is ok Ammo even for the price & free shipping but they collect sales tax in my state

Right now at Walmart you can get Federal 1 1/8 ounce 7 1/2 or 8, 1200 fps 12 gauge for $49.40 a flat. It is the dove/ game load, same shell Walmart promoed about 3 years ago. It's back which is great for me as it was my go to shell on sporting clays. I use the #8, shoot em & toss em. At that price why reload for sporting or practice.
