Good point, .410 was a challenge before and now is even less fun. That said the shortage is easing, I see Rogers, Cabela's and Midway all list .410 as available in-stock. Cabela's even has it that I could pick up locally. The last time I went to Wal-Mart, which was probably 3 months ago, they had 16ga in stock. It was $11/box which is +50% what I paid 2 years ago but it was available.
