Winchester Ranger T - Hen's teeth?

**zguy** · 07-02-2024, 14:23

I have been carrying 9mm 147gr Ranger T ammo for the last 7 years.
I try to replace my carry ammo every year/second year just for peace of mind.

I have been looking for Ranger T ammo for the last 3 or so months, and no one has.

It never used to be a problem to get, now everywhere I try, they don't have.

Is this range being discontinued or are the dealers not importing this anymore?

The Humansdorp co-op has. I was there last week and a guy was buying.

Kings in Durban has some

Both are a pretty far way from Gauteng...
Might be an excuse for a weekend trip.

Will check around in Centurion tomorrow, as I need to do the same. Towards the end of last year, when I wanted to shoot out my carry ammo, I could only find 127gr+p+. Which is normally fine out my G19, but I battle with my follow up shots with my G26.

I just got an email from Wildsman for their online pamphlets. They have 147gr at R1200 a box

Call Ahmed/Andre at Blazing Barrels. Very helpful guys and they will make a plan to get them to you as well.

PS: I see they have it for R999 on their website

Southern Sky Operations(Glock Shop) in Sandton has stock. R1050 a box if I'm not mistaken.

Cape Town is also far away from you but City Guns and VGK had stock of 147s last time I checked about 2 weeks ago so the ammo is definitely available, just maybe a bit scarce where you are. Price is a bit over R1000 per box. 127(?) grainers are also available but I don't like it because it's +P+.

Yup, price went from 500 to 800 to 1000+ over the last 3 years. similar to most US made ammo since the COVID shortages
Price is also higher for a few months before the next yearly shipment arrives at the importer, then they come down a little for a while since there is lots of stock
