Is there any way I can buy manufacturer loaded .30-06 with less than 150 grain bullets in Canada?

Hornady makes the stuff but I don't know if we can get it in Canada.
 
Rather than reduced loads, I think you're asking about regular factory loaded ammo in weights lighter than 150gr. If so, then yes. 125gr is pretty common. Check Wholesale, Cabelas, local gun shops etc, but if getting ammo shipped is no problem then I would check out the companies at the top this page. It's made by other mfg's besides Hornady.
 
I tried the Remington Managed Recoil rounds in my 30-06 Savage and I could not get them to group at all. It was so bad that I had to check all the screws on my rings, bases, action to ensure something wasn't loose (everything was tight). After shooting five rounds that were no where near each other (5" or more) I put three rounds of 150 grain Hornady Interbonds down range and had a great group, as I expect out of this ammo (inside an inch with two rounds nicely touching....nice little cloverleaf).

That's just my experience with the managed recoil rounds but as we all know each rifle is different. Mine doesn't seem to like anything other than the Hornady Interbond or SST (factory ammo).

Thank you.

I never looked at WSS before, being from Ontario. And the hate they get from these boards is not unnoticeable.

I'm not a cheerleader for Wholesale Sports but I have had no problems with any of the orders I have placed with them other than the odd item being out of stock and that was always confirmed with an e-mail or an actual phone call from them.
 
check with lebarons.they have stores in ontario.just checked their online catalog,they carry the remington managed recoil.125 grain core-lok bullets.they have a store in ottawa.
 
If you are looking for a coyote round don't try to use the 110 grain which is listed in the charts. They have terrible accuracy at least when I tried them years ago.
 
My 13 year old Son has been using the Remington Managed Recoil from a TC ProHunter and is getting MOA results at 100 yards on a calm day. I am very impressed. They are deliver about 30% more energy than a .30-30, and are a solid 200 yard deer round.
 
I had good results using Remington's Managed Recoil round in .260 Rem when we introduced my daughter to her first centrefire, a Model 700 Mountain LSS. I had picked up a couple of boxes. Once they were done we transitioned to the regular ammo. While the managed recoil rounds did group well, the point of impact was different enough from the full house loads that we never went back. The .260 is a very forgiving caliber anyway.
