I tried to order some brass from Buffalo Arms this week and they called me stating that until further notice they will not ship any brass out of the country. I e-mailed them back and asked specifically about 577 Snider brass as it is considered obsolete in both our countries and they said that they said sorry but they cannot ship any brass. This is too bad as they were the best supplier of obsolete cartridge casings that I have found.
Buffalo Arms no longer shipping brass

Crap. Shooting my .45-110 and .50-140 are going to get a whole lot more expensive then. I have 100 pieces of brass on orer with them right now. I hope it was sent in time.
It seems that Bertram Brass is available from Shooters Choice, but the price is pretty sky high. I wonder how difficult it would be to get it straight from Australia.

Hope one of our supplies here can take up the challenge and keep us supplied. I know Mysticplayer and Epps brings in some stuff and maybe Prophet River will stock some to compliment the Sharps that they were selling....
yeah that would solve the shipping problem, just not the way you think.
Bombing our NATO allies or sinking their subs isn't considered neighbourly. In fact it would be a defacto declaration of war. Said war would be very short. The US would simply move in and take over. Might be a bit unpleasant for a while but after everything normalized, we could order all the reloading components we want from the USA, seeing as Canada would be the 51st state in the union... Is that what you meant?

Isn't that when the US becomes our 11th province
Nah. if we had to merge I'd rather adopt their laws. Ours suck.
Anyway, in case you missed it, the comment i made was not serious, just a goofy response to the goofy suggestion that Canada bomb the Alaska pipeline and start sinking US submarines. Stupid begets stupid. Sorry.
See there shipping policy, Seems to be more general than specific to Canada.
"Quote: Foreign Orders
Firearms, barrels, projectiles, cartridge cases and conversion cylinders can be exported through one of our exporters. Due to new regulations this typically runs $300 and up for one shipment. We can recommend an U.S. exporter to you to assist you in this.
Due to the additional time it takes to put together an international shipment there is a $5 processing fee charged in addition to our $1 per package handling fee on each foreign order. If the country we are shipping to does not allow us to fully insure the parcel and in the unlikely event of a parcel being lost or damaged then it is the customer's loss. This has never happened but you should be aware of the possibility.
If for any reason your package is returned to us by the shipping company the customer will have to pay for all shipping charges. We will ship Global Express Mail or FedEx International Express to all foreign countries. We will select the best method of shipment. Calculated shipping prices shown on the web when ordering are not accurate for any foreign countries. An average shipment typically costs $45-$60 USD for a 4-8 pound package for most of Western Europe.
We are unable to ship conversion cylinders, bullets, barrels, ammunition or firearms out of the country unless you use the services of an exporter. If your country does not appear on our shipping list then we are unable to ship to you at this time. "
