Default SK rimfire ammo close to Calgary?

Is there anyone close to Calgary that sells SK rimfire ammo? Just doing some testing on what works and I’d like to try some of it, but I prefer local availability whenever possible. I know of a couple of Canadian retailers that will ship but that’s always a last resort with me.

The Calgary Rifle Club, shoots out of the indoor range on the north side, used to carry SK and Eley that it sold to shooters. Don't know if they still do as I moved to Edmonton a few years back but someone there can tell you where to find some.

https://www.crpc.ca/

If you were buying enough to make it worth paying shipping there are lots of options like Nordic, Hirsch Prescision, Prophet River etc.

Fly's in High River is worth a call, even if they don't have it in stock they will often order stuff in for a guy.

Flys is my main go to but they don’t have any. They may be able to get it, I will call them. I was just hoping somebody may have some in stock. I only want 50 to try it out, don’t want them to have to order 5000 for that to happen. I don’t know if they’d have to, but sometimes there are minimums.

I will try the CRPC. I had never thought of them. Thanks.

I called The Calgary Rifle and Pistol club, they do have some SK ammo. Not what I was looking for though. It doesn't matter if they did have what I wanted, as they sell to members only. No mention that I could find on their website, nothing said to me over the phone, not until I get there and I'm ready ask questions, then the guy pints out a tiny little note, above eye level on the glass cabinet.

Oh well, looks like I'm making an order......

Thanks for the help in trying to track some down.

Should have thought about the members only thing, didn't really twig till you posted it here. Sorry about that.

Used to only be a couple of hundred a year to join. Found it a great spot for shooting rimfire in the winter or for ammo testing where there was no wind, besides shooting handguns if you like that. They also have the outdoor range not too far away and if that is still open it is a great spot for shooting RF 100 yards.

I’ll look into it for sure, just not in the cards right now.

The outdoor range, is that Shepard?

Don't remember the name but it was up against the big cliff below Fedex's warehouse etc over by the airport. Been there for decades.

I didn't even know that was there. Completely opposite end of the city from me though. I'm far enough south that I may as well be in Okotoks.
