I'm in the same boat but looking for 6.5x55 Swede.

From my searches 9.3x57 is hard to come by.

Have you tried using Arsenal force to look for 6.5x55? My local cabelas stocks it for an okay price but online there is a lot better prices for the calibre

Yeah I'm seeing some PPU, S&B and Nosler in stock on the website, unfortunately nothing local yet.

4 hours north of Toronto. I see a few retailers in the GTA have FMJ for $35/box, might just have to throw those boxes onto my next big order so I get free shipping.

I agree 35 for fmj is a good price, I’m on Vancouver island in BC so 35.99-120 (cabelas 100rd bulk pack)is what I normally see as a price range between my two shops in town
