Here in Canada it has been very hard to find reloading equipment such as tools, brass, powder, primers, and bullets. Is there any Canadians out there that have a source that they may share with me.
Thanks much,
Toddco

We have a few Canuckastadians on The Nut Todd, so stand by for one of them to come blunderin' in and beat me up fer calling them names.
Seriously though mate...I've heard tell that getting reloading bits and pieces isn't always the easiest thing to do in your part of the world, but there are a couple of guys here that I think have a handle on it and do ok.
Cheers, Vince

I'm a dealer and can get most gear.
Primers are a deffinate problem, as are some powders and brass.
Where are you located?

Eh?
Mate, I understand what you are going through..
At least you don't have to pay an arm and a leg to buy your supplies..
Here in Oz, we are paying up to 4 times what the 'mericans are paying for any of ours.
Even with the Oz dollars at their highest in 10 years, we are still hit by the postages and red tapes.

While I'm not living in Canada or Australia, I still better pay attention to see how you guys get supplies. Now that we are also voting in left wing socialist lunatics we may soon be in the same boat.

I have found lots of supplies at Gun Shows in the area and also from Cabelas Canada, Russel Sports in Calgary AB and Wholesale Sports. I haven't had a problem at all. In fact the last Gun Show I was at, 40 miles from here, there was tables full of primers, powder, bullets etc. Where are you from toddco?

If you have the ability to go to a retail store your in like Flynn. However I find myself in the position that powder and primers must be shipped HAZMAT. meaning an additional $100.00. HAZMAT, HANDLING AND A BECAUSE WE CAN TACKED ON.
All powder and primers have to come from anchorage. They must be hand carried to the airfreight company and a day later they are here.

I find many great sources at gun shows.
If you have a local one, try that.
Curious what calibers you are looking for.
I have a few places that are good here in BC, so can get you some phone numbers if you like.
Also try the guys at powder keg in kamloops, great folks to deal with.
