## IN STOCK AT JJ ARMORY

We do not have a dedicated 12 gauge dove, quail, or grouse hunting box on the shelf right now. These are the 12 gauge #7.5 and #8 lead shells we have in stock — they are target loads that use the same shot size. Call (631) 985-5527 if you want a hunting-specific field load.
