I am looking as to where I can find some Blue shotgun shells (slug or shot) that will make it easier to distinguish in my tactical loadout.  i.e. if you show me some blue buckshot, I will run red slugs or vice versa.  Anyways, if you could link me some blue shells that are fairly affordable, that would be great!  Thanks.

Tactical Federal Premium-Truball Rifled Slug HP LEB127 RS. Ammunition to go has it in stock-$22.95 for 25 rounds.

Maybe others but this is the only blue one I have seen

I usually run Remmington Buckshot (Green) and Fiocci or Wolf slugs (clear)

Rio Makes Hulls.  I know  they make buck shot, but I don't know if I've ever seen it in person.
 



Edit...apparently blue was only for birdshot.

I don't know if these are any good, but they appear to be blue.

I think my Federal LE. slugs have blue hulls. Shoot good too.

That's what I was gonna say. Although I believe they're reduced recoil, though, aren't they? Either way, I've got a bandoleer full of heavy ammo right now. On the left is Federal 00 with FC wad (red), in the middle is Remington slugs (green), and on the right is Federal 00 without the FC wad (red). I also keep 6 Federal 00 with FC wad in my side saddle, so there's no confusion there.

Picked up a stash of Hornady Critical Defense 00Buck - black shells. Need to add some 3/8 rifle slugs as well.

Isn't the new Wolf Ammo Blue also?

The blue Peter (birdshot) shells are available through Gander Mountain.

(These shells are still  loaded by Remington as a Gander Mountain exclusive item)

I've used this; good round, patterns well in my 21" with a MOD choke.  For red, I have Winchester 1oz slugs.  I think I have Remington green hull #6 shot.

FWIW, I run Remington 1oz Sluggers (Walmart Bulk Box) in Green hulls and my buck is Winchester Ranger 9 Pellet Low Recoil 00 Buck.

The Ranger Shells pattern ~6 to 8 inches at 15 yards (longer then my longest HD shot) and the sluggers have the same POI as POA.

ETA: Winchester Buck Shells are Red

So I Figured What I am going to run for the time being.  

Winchester 00 Buckshot in Red
Federal Hydrashock Slug in Blue
S&B #4 Buck in a Clear Hull
And I have some other ?Winchester? PDX Ammo in Black Hulls

So I think that should make for a good rig, thanks for all of your help to what some would call a pointless question!
