With the drastic shortage of ammo across the board thought it be nice to have a place to want and find thread.
Was at Bass pro Vaughan just now and lucked into a fresh skid arrival of 20g Herter's Target Load unfortunately they were already down to 3 cases of #8 and 2 cases of # 7 1/2.
Picked up one of the cases of 71/2 so set for woodcock atleast ;)
Oh by the way Dean if its no trouble a box of #4 instead would be great.:thumbup:
I checked CTC this week for 20 gauge.
They had Kent for 36.00 a box. Crazy
Seems like all the ammo went up like crazy.
I’m happy I have a good stock of most of what I need.
supply and demand rules. What little around is going at a premium. The case of Herter's 20g I picked up was $80.00 so count myself blessedQuote:

Either way I'm sure somebody will have em I used to just buy from Rangeview in Newmarket because they would order anything they didn't have on the shelf. Rifle ammunition is very scarce though at CT. The shelf has been almost bare since last season.
A buddy paid $39 for a box of 410 a few weeks ago. I ordered 1 box of 6.8 western (all I was allowed) recently from a shop in BC for brother's gun he ordered in the winter. $140 ($99 for ammo +$25 for shipping) This is the first time I've seen it in stock anywhere in Canada. I hope it doesn't take him too many shots to sight in the scope so he has some for the hunt.

I picked up 5 boxes of Federal in the spring which should be good this fall for grouse.
Kind of kicking myself though. Only bought the one case as didn't have my full stash of gift cards with me. Went back last night after work with cards in hand only to find everything has been cleared out.Quote:

I agree. I've often thought the same thing.Quote:

Well if I run out, the .17 HMR will come out more.
Unfortunately seems like a trend???Quote:

Currently have about 10,000 rounds on hand in rimfire, centrefire and shot shells. Store them properly and and it's not really lost money as the rounds hold most of their value if i need to re-sell them. In fact some of the ammo is now worth more than what i paid for it.
Just checking if anyone has come across any 358 Win ammo. Trying to find some in the GTA to Peterborough area.
Thanks

Good luck with your search - that 358 is a tough one!
The ammo shortage seems much worse this year than last year with no end in sight. Seems like there are lots of guns for sale, but no ammo to shoot them with - the retailers must be hurting as who is going to buy a gun to be a paperweight only.
As species said, if you have not got a good stock of the ammo you need, buy a lifetime supply when you find them.
Check g4c sports for ammo. I bought a case of slugs off them 2 years ago for a decent price. Run by an Asian family. I think father and son. Havent been there in a while. Last time I was there they were still in the middle of reno with their new building. Great service none the less.

Looking for Hornady American Whitetail 270 ammo.
Has anyone here ever SHIPPED ammo?
I have a couple dozen boxes of relatively hard-to-find .250 Savage but I have no idea what it would cost to ship, say, a case of 20 boxes to the provinces.
