Looking for 12 gauge premium target loads in bc. Tried on some of the sub forums without success. Shipping outside of bc is cost prohibitive. Looking for federal gold medal, winchester aa or remington sts. Have tried board sponsors and they are either sold out or don't carry them, ie reliable, warnstalls. Wolverine and canadaammo don't stock them. Italian, lever, international, hub, chilliwack tackle, wholesale don't carry them or have sold out. Would appreciate any help sourcing out any of these brands, either on here or pm. I live in langley but can drive or have shipped from the province, thanks for any help.
Premium target loads anywhere?

Are you competitively shooting? If not then I ask why u would want them? I know a few people who use the Winchester bird loads. I believe they are 2 3/4" 3 1/4dr 1 1/8pz 2 shot. Can get pricey but they say they like them. I wouldn't know myself. I shoot the regular federal target loads.
Have u tried the run of the mill target loads in your shotgun? If they pattern fine then i wouldn't see the news for more expensive shells.
Lastly, another option could be to ask your local range if they know o anywhere that sells them. They could probably direct you to the right source. Hope this helps. Best of luck finding what you need.
Oh I almost forgot. You could always invest in some reloading equipment and Taylor yourself a load fitted to your specific needs.

One more place to try is Henry at Budget Shooters Supply. I don't know if his US supplier has caught up to demand yet though
Any of your local gun shops can order whatever you want. How long it'll take for delivery will depend on the shop's suppliers inventory. Be prepared to pay up front for any special order. Best to buy at least a case of whatever you're buying too.
"...Looking for..." Have you patterned your shotgun with any of those brands? Shotguns are just like rifles when it comes to liking one brand over another.

An e-mail to Remington, Federal, Winchester, Kent Cartridge etc. asking for the contact information of their Canadian or Canadian Regional Distributors may help. The Distributors in turn can advise of the retailers who typically stock their product ... or can expediently order for you. It's been my best experience to buy in bulk ... several months worth at a time. You may also want to check out Kent Cartridge (they have some very good product ... I especially like their Gamebore brand "Blue Diamond" loads) as well as offerings from Fiocchi. Invariably, the different manufacturers premium loadings feature their best components, including their hardest (higher antimony % ) shot. Perhaps 'not worth it' for recreational shooting ... but every bird counts in competition. Entry fees alone are sometimes worth much more than the outlay between promo loads & premium loads. I want every competitive edge I can get, thanks ! Don't give up the ghost ... keep chasing till you get what you want. And by all means, do so patterning to actually see what the benefit is ! 
Good ideas, I've sent an email to budget and will contact winchester directly. Looking for ten cases for a first order. The stores I've visited usually say they have some coming but don't know when so I don't think special ordering is an option, at least from the board sponsors I've visisted.
