Why Retailers Don't Sell Reduced Recoil/Tactical Loads?

[Lovegasoline]

I've been searching several shooting supply sites on the web looking to price reduced recoil shotgun loads...can't seem to find them. For example, I got a Midway catalog today and looked under shotgun ammo: nothing as far as reduced recoil/tactical ammo.
What's the deal on this?
Where do you buy it from?

Thanks.

Tactical ammo is more lethal than full, knock your fillings out, loads.

Try ammoman

Not the best prices, but consider that the quoted price includes shipping. Ammo is heavy.

Chris says :Tactical ammo is more lethal than full, knock your fillings out, loads.

Huh? Can you 'splane that?

I have shot 'tactical' loads, and lots of regular stuff. I can't for the life of me figure out how the 'tactical reduced load' would be more 'lethal'.

Sarcasm.

Give http://www.natchezss.com a try. Ive ordered most of my shotgun buckshot from Natchezss, and thier prices are good and thier selection excellent.
When I was patterning my 870 hd, I bought about 12 different loads, and I just ordered another 4 brands to try in my new 870, once I get it up and running.

I don't buy reduced recoil loads, but when I buy ammo I just go to my local dealer. I tell him what I want, he pulls out his catalog, I point out the specific item and he orders it. The next Friday, I pick it up.

i agree. your local dealer should be able to get just about anything with the exception of maybe the exotic hoopla.

You folks with good local dealers count yourself fortunate....oh well.
I live in NYC and wouldn't give my local dealers a dime of my bizz except under duress..one is a complete dump and the other disdains civilian customers, has no customer service to speak of, and will not consider special orders for firearms or anything else. I'll spend my $$ elsewhere.

In fact I'll be ordering about 1000 rds of pistol ammo from Natchez shortly, so maybe that's a good time to include some SG shells to save on shipping. Problem is, I've looked through their SG ammo selections before I started this thread....I couldn't locate ANY tactical/reduced recoil ammo on their site.

Poked around a bit and found this page which lists both 00 and #4 tactical loads. I didn't see any for other brands, though.
