What does that mean? Is this on EE or some sort of joke I'm not up to speed on?

No it's no joke, it means just what it say's, it's an add for sale on another gun site

 

[struff55]

they aren't popular that's why ammo is difficult to find manufactures don't manufacture the ammo

They are making the ammo in the states, it’s available easy there…

Thank you.

Available everywhere down south. Too bad our dollar sucks.

Has any one seen any WSM at all for sale in the last year?

Prophet River had a bunch not that long ago. Excellent price as well, I believe they were under $31.00 per box of 50. Winchester 20 grain.

One has to be diligent and quick on the draw to find this 17 WSM ammo.

$19.99 USD is around $30.00 or less in Canadian. Even with our terrible exchange rate, that's cheaper than Canada.

Get them in Montana and pay no state tax as well......

There is a few guys on Gun-Post that have 17 WSM ammo for sale. Some are $30.00 per box while others are $55.00 per box.

I would pay $45.00 per box if I had this caliber and was desperate to have ammo for spring gopher/coyote hunting.

The last 218 Bee ammo I bought was $139.99 for a Winchester box of 50 rounds. Now they are pushing close to $190.00 per box.

Although I do not agree with these expensive ammo costs, thank a Liberal, things will get much worse with criminal bankster Carney in charge!......

If the libs are still in power won't matter what ammo costs because won't be anything to shoot.

The drought for ammo continues for the 17 Wsm…

 

[Holijay]

Cabelas has it in stock again. Winchester 25 grain for 39.99/ 50 box. Let me put 25000 rounds in my cart beford stock was insufficient.

let us know how that works out for you

 

[Thunderhog]

It works very well actually.

But thanks for your concern.......

 

[Thunderhog]

As Holijay stated, Cabelas Canada currently has 17 WSM ammo in stock.......

[Holijay]

Looks like Cabelas has lots in stock this time. The drought might finally be over.

I've asked the same question - none to be found in Canada that I am aware of.

I called Hornady and was told they discontinued making/selling it. Random internet people in the USA claim that Winchester still makes it, but I have not found real evidence of that.

I am concerned it is a dead cartridge.

YMMV - please let me know if you find any and then after you buy your stash I will buy the rest!

I have 2 cases and a rifle ; don,t use either. What,s your e-mail ?

 

[Raton57]

Prophet River phoned me that they had some in stock recently.

Thanks for the reply! I ended up finding 5 boxes and bought them all (my comment was from 2023). I also see that the ammo is finally back in stock at some local stores (Winchester brand) so fingers crosses it is not a dead cartridge.
