7wsm is actually one of the easier calibers to find ammo for recently. All three local gunstores here have plenty with some variety of brands. 7 rem mag has actually been more of a challenge.

Default no surprise

The more popular calibers are out of stock. I'm just not a WSM fan in any diameter. That's why I reload.

Where are you at because I've had a hard time finding anything other than bottom shelf factory loads?

Agreed. Common stuff is hard to find. Lot's of oddball ammo (like 7 wsm) at the maggot shop in Caroline

I have a bunch of Federal 150gr factory ammo for 7wsm I’d like to sell. Near Med Hat. PM me if interested. Thanks.


I have a benchmark barrel on a savage in 7mm WSM. It shoots fantastic, I like the cartridge. It’ll work well for you.

I've been looking for factory loaded Winchester 7MM WSM in 160gr Accubonds for over a year with no luck. Nothing with a TSX or TTSX available for just as long either.

That's searching right across Canada online. Well, except Quebec. I don't need them that bad...

I believe the maggot shop (Caroline supplies) has a web site. Or could call them. I've seen 7 wsm there, not sure what it was though

Grande Prairie. Bartons and Primetime had a few options, Bullets and broadheads had a lot of lower end something or other. I was set on 7 mag so I wasn't paying that much attention.

I checked each one of them out and again just bottom end bullets. A 140gr ballistic silvertip woukd surely poof a deer though.

Been a long time since I saw any quantity of GMX, Accubond or really any premium bullet in the 7mm WSM factory loaded ammo anywhere online.
