Federal Premium #1 buck

[J-Train]

I'm down to my last 3 rounds of 20+ year old Federal Premium #1 buckshot (copper plated, buffered, 3-inch).  I read a report that Federal introduced a law enforcement, low-recoil #1 buck at the 2012 SHOT Show, and that it patterned great with their Tru-flite wad.  I can't find any, and none of the gun shops I visit are interested in trying to get any for me.  Does anyone know of a source?  My old Mossberg 500 loves the copper-plated #1's, and I've put a lot of venison in the freezer with it.  I hate to buy ammo mail-order, but since I can't find it in stock anywhere in SC, maybe someone can point me to a source. 
The folks at Federal sure are annoying!

Maybe Ables ammo on line . My dad loved that shell and its hard to find .

Checked Able's, no luck on the #1 Buck (hey, that rhymes!).  Maybe someone specializing in Law Enforcement ammo.  I'll keep looking and post if I find any.

Green top sporting goods had some a year or so ago . It may have been Winchester though can't remember . They claimed it was a run for them ( they sell alot ) . They are on line .

Im glad I am not the only one having trouble trying to locate some of this ammo.  Ironically Bass Pro, Academy or D!cks Sporting Goods dont seem to have any interest in trying to stock it either which is strange considering I for one would probably buy at least a dozen boxes a month, instead of buying nothing from them.  I was hoping to find the wads available to reloaders but havent had any success as of yet.

Thanks for the Ammoseek link.  The Ammo Bank lists Federal Premium #1 Buck in a 3-inch shell, but at almost $17 for a 5-round pack, plus shipping, that's a bit steep.  I'll bet these are old rounds, since I've read nothing of the new shells being offered in 3 inch.  I'll keep looking for the new ones with the FliteControl wads.  Ya'll speak up if you find any that can be bought on line.

They are proud of it..........sorry all I could locate.........good luck with your quest.

Generally Jtrain, speciality ammo will cost you a premium price.  that said, I like #1 buckshot. But I always shot it in a 16 gauge shotgun. I assume your wanting it for a 12 since your talking about 3" shells.

I guess enough folks have ask for it as some is being seen in stores now . Dances sporting goods has it if you happen thru. Colonial Heights Va. . It's just off I 95 as is GreenTop which you can see off I-95 just north of Richmond Va.
