Bullet availability

I live in B.C. Canada and there is a drastic bullet shortage up here. I can not get Hornady 270gr 375H&H anywhere in Canada. Burgers forget it ante available anywhere in any caliber. 308 caliber bullets of all brands are also in short supply. Nobody and I mean nobody has bullets for sale up here anywhere and I have called all across Canada. I wonder what's up hunting season has started (spring Bear).

You may have to do some calling around. MidwayUSA states

"Due to the variety of regulations controlling international orders, MidwayUSA.com is not able to process international orders for retail customers and accept international orders from Dealer only."

Min order is $500 How far away is a border town?

you could talk to a outfitter as they maybe traveling out to where you can get them a bottle of scotch or similar may be a good trade to bring some back for you.

Are you sure you want to do that from California? Don't they fingerprint you now when you buy bullets?

I got fingerprinted and had to register the other day buying a brick of .22lr. Can you freakin' believe that?

There's several more pro gun control bills on the floor right now, too. All I do any more is write and call my rep's and congressmen. Ca is broke because all they do is spend widly and dream up bogus new laws forgetting they already have a million on the books they don't enforce.

I'm with Stovie. If the laws don't interfer. Someone could send you the needed bullets...
