There's none in the stores and little or nothing online.
I have an easier time finding 16 & 28 gauge ammo.

Hmmm, Must be a Conspiracy …
I foolishly shot up my last flat that I had squirrelled away, practicing for grouse season .

🥴 A noble purpose, but a stupid move. I have been scrounging under the seats and in the door pockets and center consoles of my Jeep, my 1/2 ton truck, my 3/4 ton truck, my old suburban, my old Nissan Pathfinder, my Polaris Ranger...X2...and RZR, as well as closets, unmarked ammo cans, hunting coats/vests, drawers, garage, boxes in the loafing shed, and in the cargo container. I have enough for a good grouse hunt.

I've noticed the same. Plenty of 12 gauge locally, even 16s and 28s are easier to find. Only thing worse is 410s they're nonexistent

There seems to be a smattering of #8 shot, but that bounces off mature late season chukar.

L2S : I don’t know about your hunting area, but for me inconsistency of that sort in loads might just add to the hunt. Ha

You can find it behind the Hodgdon 4350.

A gunshop employee recently told me that most of the 16 and 28 ga. ammo we're seeing in the stores right now is from pre-Covid manufactured stock. Because the demand was never as great as it is for 20 ga., it didn't disappear completely.
Interesting, but I can't guarantee its accuracy.

I have two cases of Nobelsport 1oz #8 coming. Found on ammoseek.com. $120 a case with free shipping, more than the stuff our club sells, but I really like those.
Other sources I shop were out. Going rate for 12ga 1 and 1 1/8oz loads local and online seems to be $100 a case. If you can find .410s for $20 a box, and you need them, better jump on a few.

Here in Amarillo TX I can buy all the 20 gauge I want. But I can't remember the last time I saw any 410 shells on the shelf. I've ordered it online but sure haven't seen it locally in a long, long time.

What load? There is all kinds of slug loads, some steel in bigger shot size, and a bit of bizmuth around, some 5-packs of turkey ammo, but try to find decent upland loads in 5 & 6 shot. It's as scarce as 410 ammo.
