Buffalo Bore ammo available in Canada?

[Mount Sweetness]

Do we have any retailers in Canada that sell Buffalo Bore ammo?

 

[StoneHorse]

Wanstalls, International Shooting Supply & Stirling Cross Defense comes to mind.

Better off to roll your own! If I remember correct they load these with the 220 Speers HC we talked about. They list them at $63 US, I can make a 100 for that price.

we have federal and remington 35 rem in stock too.

Yeah Freddyfour, that's where I'm at. I have 100 of the 220 Speers, some Hornady brass. I will try H4985, Varget, H4198 and IMR4831.

I just don't know if I can duplicate the Buffalo Bore velocity of 2200fps. Seems like 2000fps is tops in all manuals with 220gr bullets.

I wish I could search back further then 3 years. Why Not (Ted) posted some load data using BL-C(2) with the 220's that were in the 2200fps range and of course the LVR will get you between 2100 and 2200fps.

A lot of 35 Remington info over on Marlin owners forum. Might be worth a gander. https://ww w.marlinowners.com/forum/35-remington/

Click on three year and older instead or three years and newer.

Well sh!t, don't I feel stupid.

Ball C2 works just as well.
Ted

Several guys are wondering about the 220 gr Speer loaded to 2200 fps. I just edited the Quickload table I posted earlier in this thread, explaining that the blue text is my editing, NOT a "blue pill" pressure warning from Quickload. Guess I should have used Green.

The pressure is almost exactly the same as those established by SAAMI for the 30-30, so are certainly safe in a Marlin.

Also, you will be pleased to note that the velocities are from a 20" barrel.
Ted
