9mm ammo in Ottawa?
- Thread starter jeeprider
- Start date
Lebaron had a bunch last week, Stisstville has some as well but not a lot on the shelf that I could see. I gave up waiting this year and started loading my own on a turret press. You save a lot over buying it since the brass is pretty much free if you scrounge.
The 9mm drought is doing a little better now than it was last year though, I couldn't find a box for a good couple months.

It is hit or miss at lebaron's when it comes in grab what you can. Although last time I picked up some winchester 147g that shot so innaccurately compared to the Remington umc that I would never waste the money again!

Sports Action just got in a bunch of Seller and Bellot (125 gr?) 9mm FMJ. I think they're selling them for $17.50/box.

Yah, the prices are high, but it's also a mom & pop store, so they can't afford to carry huge amounts of ammo (and buy directly from the manufacturer).
As for 9mm being cheap... it's cheaper than .40 or .45...
Which isn't really saying much.
If you don't reload, odds are you're either not shooting much or make some pretty baller money. Well, that's on the "fiscally responsible" side of things.
It really is a professional man's sport. Kind of like Golf, when you think about it...

Yah, if only we could have their pants...
and that's our problem how???
whenever someone says that they like to support the local guy or makes up an excuse for excessively high local prices, i'd like to say to that person "well then, why don't you buy it online for cheap, and take the difference and just hand it to the guy at the store and walk out." i mean, would someone do that if it was that explicit? i sure as hell wouldn't.

If you don't like it, don't buy ammo there. Simple solution. But if LeBaron is out of 9mm and you don't want to pay for shipping (from an on-line retailer), and you don't want to pay an extra few dollars at a local store, then you're SOL. I was just letting him know what options are available.

If i wore those pants out shooting , i have to cap myself..
And ammo isnt that expensive , as long as you budget your time/money. i just started another full time job and have no problem getting a few boxes of ammo of two weeks and if i only shoot every other weekend some of that ammo get saved , not to mention all the casings i have for reloading .
but you are right the prices are a tad high.
