I found a few of the new shotguns interesting in the linked OL article. But, I just bought a new CZ 1012 right before Christmas so am good for now and may never buy another shotgun. Will check out the other new equipment articles and comment here. Thanks for starting this thread -
Here's a F&S article
New Ammo From the 2022 SHOT Show | Field & Stream (fieldandstream.com)
I'm glad CCI released the Blazer 9mm with brass cases and a lead-free primer. May try a box.
The other I find interesting is Hornady's new CX bullet I'm curious about how well it will do on game. I've been a fan of monolithics for several decades.

Since CX is the abbreviation for Drag Coefficient, I find it amusing that the CX line does not have as good of a G1 BC as the TTSX and certainly not as good as the Barnes LRX line. Maybe they’re cheaper.Comment

That is interesting. Wouldn't have thought that.Originally posted by WA Mtnhunter View PostComment

While it's nice to see new ammo I'd be even happier to have the selection of old ammo back on the shelves. If I could just get 2 identical boxes of 7-08 my stress level would fall greatly. Appease me ammo guys, appease me😫Comment

Like the look of this!
TriStar Bristol
The Bristol was built with affordability in mind. Tristar
Gonna do a little research to see where they are built! 😃Comment

Can remember when a box of Peter's were hot stuff! A vest full of Peter's "Blue Whistlers" guaranteed a full game pouch and a sore shoulder!
Good stuff, Maynard!
Peters Premier Blue Paper Shotshells
Peters Premier Blue Paper Shotshells sell for about $19 for a box of 25. Remington Ammunition
Bet they ain't the same as the 1950's!Comment

The Beretta A300 Ultima might be as close to what I’m looking for in a utility shotgun as I’ve seen, especially if I could find one in 20 gauge.
I found the write up interesting on the new Rem 870’s, sounds like the new company is trying to address some known issues. Question is how well they pull it off. I doubt I’d buy one but would like to get one in my hands just the same.Comment

Well, as I feared, the Tristar Bristol is manufactured in Turkey. Still a nice looking gun
...BUT...
Am I noticing an increase in 16 gauge shotguns?Comment

Well, the 16 gauge has had a spot in the lineup a long time. The 6.5 CM is just a rookie.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...I've heard it for years.
If you want more, go to a 12 gauge.
If you want less, go to a 20 gauge.
Guess my question would be, "Why not a 16 gauge?"
The "one gun hunter" would be well served by a 16.

Really? The only gauge with no 3" option best for a 1 gun hunter. Have to disagree on this one. I know the 16 holds a special place in your heart so I'll overlook it just this once. 😉Originally posted by FirstBubba View Post
Would also point out the 3" 20 has continued to strengthen a following with duck/turkey hunters.Comment

You do realize that hunters almost wiped out waterfowl without the benefits of 3" ammo?Originally posted by dewman View Post
I've killed alot of game with "non-magnum" 16 gauge guns. Ya just gotta be patient enough to let 'em get a bit closer. 😉Comment

In a way it’s also fairly true from a performance stand point when you compare effectiveness vs recoil. I still doubt you’ll see any tacticool 16ga shotguns anytime soon. At least I hope not.
