Ammunition — In Stock in Canada

9mm
9mm Luger (also called 9x19mm Parabellum) is the most common handgun cartridge sold in Canada, and the standard chambering for the Glock, SIG, and CZ platforms that dominate our sport-shooting counter. Most 9mm sold here is full metal jacket (FMJ) range ammunition in 115gr, 124gr, or 147gr weights — lighter bullets run faster and cheaper per box, heavier bullets shoot flatter and are a common choice for competition. Because it's the highest-volume pistol cartridge in the country, 9mm is also the calibre most affected by supply swings: when a major manufacturer has a production run, prices per round can move noticeably within a season, which is exactly why we built this board instead of a static price list. Non-restricted-frame pistols chambered in 9mm are Restricted firearms in Canada, so an RPAL and an authorized transfer are required to buy the handgun itself — but the ammunition purchase only requires a valid PAL or RPAL, verified at checkout.

.223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO are dimensionally near-identical and are frequently sold, and shot, interchangeably — though 5.56 NATO runs slightly higher chamber pressure, and most modern rifles rated for 5.56 will safely run either. This is the standard chambering for the AR-15 platform and its many Canadian-compliant derivatives, which puts it among the highest-volume centerfire rifle cartridges we sell. Bulk case pricing (typically 500 or 1,000 rounds) usually gives the best price per round for range and practice ammunition, while lighter-weight boxes in 55gr or 62gr loads are common for general-purpose shooting. Because many AR-15-pattern rifles and their variants are subject to specific federal classification rules in Canada, always confirm your particular rifle's classification before buying — the ammunition itself carries no restriction beyond the standard PAL/RPAL verification every firearms and ammunition order requires. This board tracks live stock and price per round across our full .223/5.56 range so the cheapest available option is always the top row.
See what's in stock →.22 LR
.22 Long Rifle is the cartridge most Canadian shooters learn on — it's the standard chambering for youth and training rifles like the Crickett and Chipmunk lines, and it remains the cheapest centerfire-adjacent round to shoot for plinking, small-game hunting, and pest control. Because it's rimfire rather than centerfire, .22 LR is manufactured and sold at a much higher volume than any other rifle cartridge, and pricing per round is correspondingly low — often a fraction of a cent difference between brands adds up meaningfully across a case of 500 or more. Bulk packaging is standard for this calibre, so unit count matters more here than almost anywhere else in the catalogue: two boxes that look similarly priced on the shelf can have very different real cost per round depending on whether they hold 50 or 500 rounds. Standard- and high-velocity loads dominate; subsonic and hyper-velocity variants exist for specific use cases. As with all ammunition sold in Canada, a valid PAL is required and verified before shipping. This board sorts by true price per round so the actual cheapest option — not just the lowest sticker price — is always on top.
See what's in stock →12 Gauge
12 gauge is Canada's standard shotgun bore, used across waterfowl and upland hunting, clay target sports, and home-defense shotguns alike — which means the shell you actually want depends heavily on the load, not just the gauge. Steel shot is mandatory for waterfowl hunting under federal non-toxic-shot regulations, while lead loads remain common for upland birds and clays where steel isn't required. Shell length (2-3/4", 3", or 3-1/2") and shot size both affect what a given box is suited for, and price per round varies significantly between a target load, a premium waterfowl steel load, and buckshot or slugs. Because 12 gauge covers such a wide range of use cases, this board mixes loads from all of them — check the product title for shot size, shell length, and payload weight before ordering, and use the calibre filter alongside this page if you're comparing against 20 gauge or other bores. A valid PAL is required and verified before any ammunition order ships, and quantity limits may apply depending on carrier and destination.

.308 Winchester and 7.62x51mm NATO are, like .223/5.56, dimensionally near-identical and widely treated as interchangeable in civilian bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles — this is the standard big-game hunting and long-range precision cartridge for most Canadian hunters and target shooters stepping up from rimfire or intermediate cartridges. Bullet weight is the main variable to watch: lighter 150gr loads run flatter and cheaper, while 168gr and 175gr match-grade loads are the standard choice for target and long-range shooting, and heavier 178–180gr hunting loads carry more energy downrange for big game. Because this is a full-power rifle cartridge rather than a high-volume plinking round, price per round is naturally higher than rimfire or common pistol calibres, and stock levels move more slowly — which makes tracking live availability and true per-round cost especially useful when comparing hunting loads across brands ahead of a season. All rifle ammunition requires a valid PAL, verified before shipping, in full compliance with the Firearms Act.
