    Bought the wrong size shells...

    ...so I went to sportsman's warehouse the other day and ended up buying the wrong size shells. Ended up getting 20 Gauge instead of 12 Gauge. Now I have 100 rounds of shells that I can't use and as far as I know sportsman's warehouse isn't going to do an exchange for me. Any ideas on what I can do? It bothers me that I just wasted $26

      If you have a membership to a shotgun club, they usually rent guns to members for free. Could always try a different gauge gun.

      Unless you have something other than birdshot.

      I've never understood the self-confessors....

                                  ^ This, indeed, or find a friend with one who'll loan it to you so that you can properly dispose of the offending ammo.
                                  I'm retired. That's right, retired. I don't want to hear about the cop who stopped you today or how you didn't think you should get a ticket. That just makes me grumpy!

                                          I would consider a 20 Gauge eventually but I'm good with my 12 Gauge for now =D

                                              Write down your gauge on a sticky note, take it with you next time you need ammo.

                                                  Well, there is only one reasonable solution, buy a 20ga shotgun.
