Who has 20ga and .410 by the case lot and at reasonable prices?

Been looking for slugs (including sabots) for the 20ga and lead #4 shot

For the 410, slugs, buck and field loads.

Easy to find boxes but nobody stocks cases it seems
 
Honestly,

I bought a 12 gauge instead of a 20 more for the cheaper price of 12 ga ammo than anything else. 20ga and .410 sales are probably a lot lower in terms of volume, thus the lack of bulk price. It's my 2 cents theory anyway.

I'm a cheap b4stard, that's why I have an SKS, a 12 Ga pump and a .22LR semi...

never really use the 12 ga other than geese, already have the other calibers
 
If you define reasonable as the same price as target 12 gauge ammunition, then, I'm sorry, but you will be disappointed. Any hunting ammo, will be more expensive than target ammo. I'm lucky (in some ways) as I live in SW Ontario and can easily drive to Hummason's (Winchester) in Ancaster or Lawry's (Federal) in Caledonia. They carry some hunting shells in flats, which they will sell you. They will also order flats of shells for you, which can take a significant amount of time to arrive, based on availability from their source. As an example, when I hunted upland game, we would order flats of Federal 20 gauge Pheasants Forever shells from Lawry's and it could take 8 months for them to come in.
 
Last time I bought a flat of 410's I got them at Canadian Tire, but I had to order them in. I'd been fuelling my truck at their gas bar all year and had enough of their money to pay for the flat. I bought in early fall when they were getting shells in anyways. I wanted to use these shells for skeet and the hulls to reload so I bought Winchester's in 7-1/2's. You might be able to do something similar.

OP, if you are going to shoot any amount of 410 I suggest you do one of two things. Either set yourself up to reload or buy Winchester shells and sell the hulls. I don't think you would have trouble getting $0.15 a hull
 
Winchester AA 410 (reloadable) is running $125+ tax per flat at Hummasons.
Federal Premium is $100+ tax per flat at Lawrys
Rio 410 is $95+ tax per flat at Lawrys.

If you're shooting a lot, it's a stupidly expensive caliber to shoot factory. Reloading becomes a must.
One game of skeet with factory AA 410: $14 ammo + $5 for the targets. Almost $20 a round is too rich for my blood, which is why I reload 410 (no choice)
