Where would a good spot be in Canada to find a Hornady Modified 308 Case? Or would I be better off making my own?

Thanks
 
If I were having a hard time tracking one down, I'd be inclined to make my own. Presuming, of course, you know what needs to be done...
 
Well Ive got the proper tap here. I assume it would be a simple drill then tap and expand or slit the neck enough that the bullet slides in and out.
 
I started a thread a couple days ago regarding this issue. I was making my own with a 5/16" x 32 tap from FL sized brass. I found that the best drill bit to use was a 7/32 to get the initial hole. I was doing mine with a hand drill and albeit did tap fairly well it was a little bit canted when on the gauge itself. I would recommend doing this operation on a drill press.

Are you sure that is not a 5/16 - 36 Tap, not 5/16 - 32??
My comparator is 5/16 - 36, and the proper tap drill is 7.2mm

"...would I be better off..." You'd be better off not bothering with it at all. The manufacturers are forever coming out with 'tools' they think are indispensible. This is one of 'em.
