Does Canada have an equivalent to Buffalo Arms?

I've tried a few methods over the years to try and obtain certain annoying calibers like old sharps and any sort of blackpowder revolver ammo used by the Europeans prior to WWI.

However, outside of very lucky gunshow requests, I have come up with nothing. It's nice to find adaptation knowledge (which is the only way I can reasonably shoot my 71/84 by converting old .300 winmag or 7mm remmag ammo) at shows or through people but I can't for the life of me ever find the ammo itself.

Is there any sort of importer that could go through these lengths or am I stuck just hunting for knowledge instead of the rounds? It's hard enough to shoot these antiques but being in Canada is like another added difficulty.

You are looking for new made obsolete cartridges for antiques? You better get used to forming, casting and reloading, sometimes without many hints or load data either.
Rustywoods and bullet barn have a couple things. Otherwise it's gunshows or word of mouth to find guys who form brass for a couple things in their basements.

Asking here will get you advise on almost anything and there are other sites out there. The internet has been a godsend for this kind of information!
 
I just spent the past hour getting blueballed on tradeex. Went through their entire brass section and they're all somehow out of stock on what I want.
Forming brass is actually fun and an activity one can do at home which is kinda neat. However, it's just not the same feel as good, solid made brass. I guess making the odd trip down to the US is sometimes imperative, eh?
