Does anyone know who carries Starline brass here in Canada?

I should be buying a 38 Long Colt in about 2 weeks and am curious about brass availability.
I know you can use 38spl brass, but I would like to have some with the correct headstamp.

thanks

38 special brass is a PITA, been there and done that.
It's a neat little round, but short of turning down 38 special dies...reloading is a PITA too, lol.
I used a HB Keith style mould as it likes about a .360 - .366 diameter bullet...oh yeah PITA too.
An antique I could understand reloading for...but not a restricted.
Spooky, but I used 357 magnum brass uncut with light charges and ... maybe cotton balls to fill the voluminous case ( disremember exactly which...might have been COW). I've not got a 357 magnum so the likelihood of chambering a real round was slim. Stopped that though, too dangerous.
If it's a 92 or a 95, some have a tapered cylinder hole and some are straight through.
I've one of both. If you need a hand, drop me a line.
 
I've a bit of experience with them, tuned a 1889 up from a shoebox of parts to a shooter.
Look through the cylinder when you get it, expect either a shouldered (or not) cylinder and expect it to be an oversized bore compared to 38 special.
I can shoot you the mold # easily enough too.
