Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska WTF is all the ammo??

Been searching for weeks for some 10mm ammo and some Federal 150gr Nosler Partitions to no avail, anyone have a line on where a guy can get some before hunting season rolls around?

I wish I could help you -- I live in southeast and haven't found sh#t in almost a year. Sportsmans in Juneau only ever keeps it 'in the back' and you have to ask for it, and they almost never have it anyway. Although the have seemed to have 10mm reasonably consistently.

I was just up in fairbanks for a trip and looked several places there as well. Nearly nothing in terms of common hunting calibers and bullet selection.

I'll follow this thread though in hopes we're both just not smart enough to find it, haha

How much 10MM do you desire.........??? Not interested in small lot sales.

150 Partitions - .277, 7mm or .308 dia?

I've got some .277 150 Partition Golds (Moly coated) that I could part with.

Notice.......To anyone interested in ammo in the general Los'Anchorage to Kenai Peninsula area, we have ammo for sale. Unopened "case Lots". Heavy on 9MM and 10MM and .45 Auto. No it is Not free, No it is not available at 1986 prices or even 2011 prices. All factory loaded, in unopened cases. Green cash only........no banks around here, so no checks, credit cards.

Not interested in selling less then a brick (500 rounds) or opening cases.

Have cases of .40 S&W including 165 gr. Gold Dot. (this stuff is expensive by the case).

Buffalo Bore pretty much consistently has had 10,mm. Good stuff too. CoreBon also has some although its sometimes 3 to 4 week delivery.
I have bought from both over the past year. Good stuff, not cheap, but cheap is a relative term lately

We also have Bullets.......just the bullet. especially heavy in .223 caliber, 77 gr. Have .416 bullets Swift and Barnes. .45 cal. Cast .452 and .454 (hard Cast).

I'm lookin for loaded rounds made by Federal, I think they call it Vital Shok or something along those lines. Wish I did reload but I appreciate the offer though.

I don't really need 500 rounds of 10mm but I'll ask anyways, how much for a brick? Oh and who is this "we" of which you speak?

Also have 60+ years of tools and equipment to sell, Super Cub parts, Case 450B and Trucks, Heavy Equipment trailers.

Plenty of 10mm.

You do understand that ammo can "NOT" be shipped to Alaska or Hawaii without a full hazard material "Goat Rope" Cost about $450.00 for one box of ammo or a few cases. Special Pallet required, Special wrapping require, yards of paperwork, must be done by companies certified to do this.

Unless I missed it, you didn’t say what cartridge you’re looking for loaded with 150 grain Partitions.

Yeah I love it on forums where lower 48'ers chime in about which online store has ammo when talking to Alaskans.

I can have ammo drop shipped to Tacoma, then pay a forwarder to take it to the marine terminal, then pay my local shipping company to barge it up.

Unless you have a group of 10-20 guys pitching together for a group purchase, it's not really worth the time.

Yup. Not like we’re in America.

The real pisser is that it's not that hard to legally ship ammo for online business and carriers... ammo is Hazmat class 1.4. All it takes is a "Declaration of Hazardous Goods" be filled out, and be packaged in a safe way (factory packaging suffices). In some rare cases, it must be kept separate by a certain distance from some other REALLY hazardous stuff when on the same airplane.

I've personally carried by air several millions of rounds of ammunition carried legally per the DOT and FAA. I was a certified HAZDEC agent, and an aircrewmember who loaded the cargo, generated the paperwork, and unloaded the cargo.

The real issue is that since Alaska is such a small market, and because most shippers in the lower 48 are ignorant, nobody wants to go through the hassle.

No I don't understand, but I do now. Sounds like hunters, fisherman and tourist should bring all the ammo they can possess legally and sell it in Alaska.

Yep.......up to 50 pounds. on Alaska Airline.

I just bought a .475 Linebaugh revolver, and the deal included some ammo which is about $4.00 per cartridge. We could not ship the ammo. But the seller was coming to Alaska in a few months, which salvaged the entire deal.
