i looked around, but couldn't find any at specifically canadian e-tailers...am i looking in the wrong places?

Anywhere that sells a-zoom snap caps will have them or be able to get them for you.

I had trouble finding them too. I ultimately ordered some online from wholesale sports. Took a while for them to come in, but eventually they arrived.

They are hard to find for some reason but bass pro had them.

 

[JimboJones]

I found some at Bass Pro in Vaughan.

I ended up making my own. Used a homemade bullet puller to pop out the bullet, empty powder, pop primer and removed.
Drill out primer pocket and epoxy a piece of pencil eraser in pocket to protect firing pin. Drill a series of holes around the side,
deburr holes and smooth them out. Reinsert bullet and give the whole thing a nice coat of wax. Nice and smooth, easily identified by the holes and white rubber primer.

Excellent idea. This is almost always better than the store bought snap caps for the simple reasons that they cost a LOT less, and if you use steel cases they will last a LOT longer than the flimsy aluminum or plastic snap caps, both on the case body and on the extractor rim. Military grade arms tend to be unkind on both.

Yup...I picked up some A-Zooms. I've cycled 2 of them maybe 50 times and they are chewed up all to hell. The rims are gouged and the cartridge shoulder is being shredded by something.

that's an interesting idea, but does a homemade bullet puller consist of? i realise i could buy one, but i can't forsee any need for it. Is there a how-to somewhere on CGN?
