THANK YOU ALL! I will definitely be avoiding Raniersec.com. I knew it was too good to be true. I tried Ammoseek before my original post and came up with nothing. Was hoping for a Hail Mary
Here’s my predicament for anyone who’s interested. A few years ago I bought a Savage 220 20Ga shotgun. I hunt in Southern MN, so it’s all shotgun for me. After hearing many great things and handling my brother-in-law’s 220, I decided to get one for myself. I love it, feels and shoots like a rifle and it practically is when shooting 3″ Remington Accutips. And this is what I’m searching for.
They were a little more common a few years ago, even before the pandemic shortages, but the 220 became immensely popular and this was the preferred ammo. This coupled with niche market for slug ammo in general, Remington’s bankruptcy and all the other world’s problems have made the Accutips almost non-existent. I can usually get a box or two if I put my name on a list at a small but reputable sporting goods store in my area. But it’s usually right before the season. I’m pretty sure they don’t even start to manufacture it until late summer but now that Remington’s ammo sector is being manufactured by someone else, I’m not sure what to expect. All online places I’ve checked are out-of-stock (except Raniersec.com which is why I asked).
Anyway, I’d like to get a few extra boxes because I needed to adjust my scope position and I was never comfortable with my original sight-in process because I had to improvise a range and only had a couple boxes of ammo at the time. While expensive, I’d prefer to sight-in with the same ammo I hunt with. So here I am.
I may switch to Hornady, they also make a 3″ sabot 20Ga shell and I think they’re a little easier to locate. But I’ve heard mixed reviews on them.
Open to suggestions from more seasoned ammo folks.
