17 hmr

I just bought a new 17vs Marlin and I am having trouble buying shells for it. Any suggestions to where I may be able to purchase some.

You should be able to pick some up at the gander mountain in greensburg or that woodlands outdoor world out on 40 headed towards nemacolin.

Thanks wimp, but unfortunately I am stationed in Ca in the USMC at Camp Pendleton. And finding shells for my 17 has been difficult. Yeah if I was back home in PA I would have no problem finding them. Unfortunately I have one more year of active duty before I can move home, thanks.

Oh, good luck out there in Ca. I' d just like to say thanks to you and all the others serving in our military.

Matthew, Check out www.midsouthshooterssupply.com The new catalog was just released and I' m waiting for it. Last Years had the 17 HMR for 7.69 a box of 50.I' ve noticed locally the guns shops are getting over 10.00 a box.

Still searching for shells for my 17vs can anybody please sell me a box. I know somebody out there has more than one box sitting around. These shells are sold out everywhere here in CA. I dont think they will be getting them in for about 6 weeks. Please help me, Thanks. SEMPER FI, Have new Marlin but know shells, bummer.

Try www.gunbroker.com , alot of people on there are selling them. If you don' t know what it is, it' s like ebay but only with guns and ammo.

Went out with my NEF 17HMR today, lot of fun. Had no problem hitting empty 357 sig shells at 35yds.
