17 WSM Ammo instock

[rona]

Cabelas has had it a couple times in the last couple weeks, the 20 grainers
I ordered a couple boxes last weekend . Started out at a reasonable price but when you add their shipping cost per box it is over 21.00 a box. You can only get one box at a time so you get clipped shipping double. Funny as both boxes were just delivered on the same UPS truck.

Probably going to get even more scarce since Gander's newest flyer is featuring the rifle. I can't even imagine going to Gander to buy a rifle and being told there is NO ammo. Maybe they have it 'reserved' for those that buy a rifle?
Still not a warn feeling......

Its a strange thing but the dealer I bought my original B-Mag from never could get ammo from the Winchester supplier. He told me he had 8 skinny barrels in the back room and people won't buy them first because of ammo then accuracy. He hasn't been able to get a SS heavy barrel in either. I returned my second skinny barrel there in April and called Savage to upgrade to the heavy barrel latest word was another 3 weeks. I told them to test fire it for accuracy before sending it and I guess if they reject the one that I was supposed to get my order goes to the bottom again. Meaning if I don't get one in 3 weeks I am going to start telling them I want my money back.
Getting back to the ammo thing the second dealer I go to told me he was confident he was getting a ammo order in pretty soon. Last fall and winter he got two orders for B-Mag ammo in. He is where I got the ss heavy barrel from. I had returned my light barrel to another dealer in April and stopped by this place on the way home as he was taking it out of the box and bought it on the spot. He only has 3 B-Mag customers and only got the one ss barrel.
Winchester bragged about the B-Mag being made from the blanks of tools for construction. I wonder of they have it protected so no other company can copy it? If the large conglomerate that bought Savage also owned Federal I would think Federal would produce that caliber if it could.
Several stores used that policy of selling to the customers who bought the rifle from them. Kind of irritated me after driving over 100 miles to a store that I called to make sure they had it then after I get there they told me they were saving it for customers who bought the rifle from them. They could have told me that over the phone before I made the trip. Guess I won't be going through that door again.

I feel for you Bro :( been lucky and caught it a few times at Cabelas the last couple times but I have $100 in 5 boxes myself
the company that owns Savage now ( ATK) also owns CCI and federal so maybe it will open the makers up? :) heard from savage today on my replacement HB SS rifle and the famous 2-3 weeks is what I got

I emailed Winchester and got the following reply today - 8/25/2014


Question:
What is the future of the 17 Super mag ammo? Will anyone else be making this ammo ?
There is none to be had anywhere except scalpers trying to get $40 - $60 a box for it..


Answer:This product is very new and in high demand. You should begin to see an increase in the supply in the upcoming weeks.

Seems I have heard the same story when asking how long it took to send back a different B-Mag from Savage.

[bremereric]

Same old BS story they told me. Come on CCI and Horandy, help us out.

[Lonewulf]

same thing they told me a month ago

[KenOcala]

I heard the same 3 months back
