Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada Ammunition shortages in Canada

Are you guys seeing any shortages?

Oh my, Really.

Yes we are as well. Ammo, components especially primers & firearms are currently in very short supply. for the most part shelves are empty. Good news is no such issues reported w archery gear thus far.

Skatchewan;
Good morning, I hope the day's looking to be a bit warmer where you're at and all in your world are well.

Indeed out here in rural BC there's been less and less availability of reloading components anyways and the prices are escalating at the expected trajectory seeing as they're all connected to US manufacturers or distributors.

Some of the .22 ammo from England, Mexico or Europe appears to be stable as far as price goes, but again availability is somewhat of an unknown in some instances.

Thus far as far as I am aware, shot shells are staying more or less stable, but prices are likely to creep up as fuel and transportation costs rise.

Hope that was useful.

All the best to you folks in the flat lands.

Thanks for the replies Gents

I noticed that there is limited availability. The only stuff that I have seen is the expensive stuff like $30 to $35 (for 20) of 223 ammunition. If you order online, you can find cheaper, but if you are looking for a couple of boxes, there isn't much.

I have seen some old time ammunition around, which is great if you shoot 30-30 or 300 Savage. The 30-30 is about $25 to $20 a box. 300 Savage is $50+ for 20, but available.

Were you looking for a specific cartridge?

I am not in a bind Steve, but wondering if I should buy more
