Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Ammo in stores

So years ago I was on an elk hunt using a 7mm Imperial magnum. We were changing.locations several times and somehow I dropped/lost my ammo. You won't find that in stores! So in Alaska, at some remote gas station or something, what calibers will I always be able to find please?

Today,.308, 30-06, 7mm mag, 300win mag. Tomorow...?

And a small backup supply should be available in a separate bag.

I need to know where this gas station is.

I can remember when you could fill up your tank, grab beer, a hunting/fishing license, ammo, bait and new fancy .22 rifle without a background check.

Won’t be long and we’ll need a background check to buy gas.

You bought gas without one?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

To the op:

To address your questions, you likely will not find ammo many places unless the village/town holds more than a 200 to 300 population. Your only other option would be to find a kindred (generous) spirit for ammo. These do exist in rural Alaska, though not everywhere. In those places that do sell, one can still find 300 win mag, 30.06, .308, 270, and .223. If you cannot find it where you reside, you likely will not find it here most places unless you find yourself in one of the main city hubs.

.223

Zip. You won't *always* be able to either find or buy anything at a "remote gas station or something". It's tough enough to find high grade hunting ammo or anything in exotic calibers in Anchorage. Of course, if you are blessed, you might get lucky anytime.

3 bears has quite a ammo supply and gas

in Kenai ? across the street from Homo Depot

gas, alcohol and ammo .... from left to right

Sounds like my kinda place

Poke-her in the rear too?

friend calls me last night "Hey, the 3 Bears store on Pittman got some srp's on the shelf

Went & topped off the gas tank, got a brick of srp's and some 7meow ammo and a box of coffee beer

Now that's one stop shopping !

Yeah, but do they have an EV charging station? The new 3-Bears in Sterling does.

Why I don't know - haven't seen anyone use it to date. But they don't have shooting stuff.

Kenai 3-B was slightly ahead of Soldotna SW in getting usable powders, primers, some ammo back on the shelves after the Hoax. The possible advantage of not being a big Outside, corporate chain? SW guys told me " We don't know what we are getting until the truck gets here -it's all done through corp. headquarters. We have no say.".

Swampy how was the beer?.mb

All depends on your location in the state. The smaller stores will carry ammo for the hunting that occurs around there the most. Sheep areas will have more the sheep hunter cartridges and bear areas more the bear ones. But in general I’d say I’d agree with the 30-06/270/308 maybe even 30-30 if more towards villages in general and maybe even some 300wm but that’s less likely to be seen lately

Cold coffee that gives great head and one helluva buzz

I'm gonna go get another box to see if I liked it or not

Villages tend to have .22cf, 243 in stock if they can get it. Natives are either more recoil shy or smarter than the rest of us....

You never know what a local village store might have. When I travel, it pays to go in and look. Sometimes a store manager would order a case of ammo because a friend wanted a box and the rest sits there for years.
