Is anyone else having a hard time finding 6.5 ammo that's not match ammo for $50 box? I'm in SW Ontario and not finding any.
 
I bought my latest factory 143gr ELDX from Wolverine, Reliable Gun + Wanstalls. I also reload 143gr ELDX - and got two boxes from Reliable Gun and RL16 from Budget Shooter Supply. Maybe stocks are running low now?
 
Are you after non-match grade and not $2.50/rd? I saw Prophet river has some Hornady American Whitetail that seems very reasonably priced. That said I’m newer to this, so anything less than $2/rd seems cheap. I assume this is more a general/budget hunting cartridge, but most everything I’ve seen/bought since October has been in the $2-3/rd price range.
 
I remember buying Hornady eld for over $50 a box over a year ago.
And I sold some eldm for 75 a box
Stock up now, it’s only going to go up from here
 
6.5 is so popular now between all the different cases that reloading projectiles are hard to come by and makes me wonder if the companies just aren't able to keep up with demand ?

I still have 2.5 boxes of creedmoor ammo and I haven't owned one in a few years now. due to shipping costs its a hassle to sell. Figure I can either pull the bullets and use them in my 6.5 PRC or hold onto them incase I buy a 6.5 creed again for target but I am honestly leaning towards a 6mm caliber for that.
 
I'm new to 6.5 cm and bought a few boxes of Winchester Deer Season 125gr from Cabelas a few weeks ago but they sold out real quick.

No big deal cause this deer season ammo groups terrible (two inch) and I won't buy any more of this ammo. I want to try other brands but like others have said pickings are pretty slim right now.

Can you still ship it via UPS from Lloydminster? I’d be interested to get a few boxes if shipping to Winnipeg isn’t prohibitively expensive (it usually is reasonable from Calgary, so fingers crossed).

Purolator will take ammunition. Not cheap but normally reasonable to a major center and not much more for a few boxes than for one.
 
I have a hard time finding anything in 6.5 Creedmoor bullets / powders.
Going to give up after I shoot my last 20 rounds of Herters 129 grain bullets
Will be breaking down my Savage 12FV and selling stock, Barrel and action individually

Sounds like UPS doesn’t go to Lloydminster, I just sent an email to info@prophetriver.com about a quote, so I guess we can see what Purolator would be like.

Too bad as Purolator is likely more $. It was often as cheap as Canada Post when Canpar took it. :( I see we are down to 44 boxes (192 when we first posted the link) so it is going quickly. Strange times.

Only one way to find out, please let me know by email and we can go from there.
 
Is it time for me to resell? Our Cabellas hasn't had any ammo come in over a year EXCEPT the 6.5 cm. That shelf is 100% full and hasn't changed anytime i've been there.
