Might be something to check out. Been awhile since I was there. Website doesn't have many products but I assume the store has more to offer.
I know lebaron won't have one and I assume Baspro won't have one either.
No specialty stores around?

Stay far away from bass pro for reloading supplies..Most expensive place I've ever seen. Go to Le baron Dixie /Dundas In Mississauga I believe they also have a location in Richmond Hill..
Example. I went to Bass Pro to buy a RCBS case prep center..Le Baron was closed, I wanted it asap so I checked it out. They wanted $169.95 and it was $148.94 at LeBaron..I asked if they price matched and they said yes. I told them the price at Le Baron and said they could check the website..They said that's not acceptable and I'd have to bring in a flyer or actual updated cataloger or they won't do it. I said you're kidding right most stores accept websites..They said I could talk to the manager. I said never mind I'll just buy it at Lebaron in a couple days so you've lost this and future purchases, They just shrugged their shoulders and continued on..
Bass Pro EXPENSIVE lousy customer service,
Le Baron Great Prices Lousy customer service..
At least Le Baron is rude at lower prices.
Lebaron in a nutshell.
- Good prices especially if you join their club which gives you 10% off.
- You can solve the rudeness problem (and they are extremely rude) by carrying a motorcycle helmet with you. I drove my bike there one day, walked in the back room carrying my helmet and all of a sudden I was everybody's best buddy.
- The one problem that I can't solve is that they never have any of their advertised items in stock. They actually admitted to me that they sometimes advertise items and never get them in stock.
In summary, get the lebaron club card, buy a motorcycle helmet (even if you don't have a motorcycle) and call to check stock in advance. Make sure you mention you have a helmet as they are equally as rude over the phone.

Helmet I do have...Bike I don't. Snowing right now LOL. I grew up not far from the Mississauga store so I know all about Lebaron. Card I have because I purchased my 6500 bushnell from them and saved a little. Problem is I am really looking for a Wilson. Is there someone in Canada that offers it through the mail? Just curious because of the new rules on international shipping out of the US? 1 year ago Cabelas wouldn't even ship me dies. Good excuse to visit a few stores while I am there anyways. I am on my way out as we speak.... And thanks again for the suggestions.
PS. Just trying to eliminate one factor for my .223 reloading with concentricity. Anything would be a big step from the Lee cutter I was using. Although I could get one hole(exageration but close) @100yrds anything beyond that is what I am working towards.

Give Ellwood Epps a shout, the guys there are pretty helpful and then have a huge stock of reloading supplies.

Sinclair will mail order it to you no problem, tend to be quite a bit cheaqper than Canadian suppliers, and are actually polite and helpful when you are ordering from them. With the Canadian dollar at par why would you fight to find the one place in Canada that carries high end gear. I have never found a consistent Canadian supplier of top notch precision reloading equipment.
Fast, reasonably priced, and the most precise trimmer on the market.
Won't be found in a retail store anywhere in Canada - try Sinclair International.
There is no issue with reloading tools, the problem with many suppliers in the US is that they do not have their stock cross referenced to make it easy to see what can be exported without a permit and what needs a permit. As a result many of these companies have a blanket policy of never shipping anything that is related to firearms. I once has Cabela's refuse to ship silica gel (the stuff that comes in every electronic device you buy), and refuse to ship a pistol die, but happy to send me a rifle die ???
Sinclairs is wonderful and ships all permitted items as does Brownells. I have found that Natchez shooters supply is also great, but you have to call them on the phone as their online catalogue is not set up to allow shipping to Canada.
Sinclairs has a minimum shipping cost, so if you want only one small item I always call L.E. Wilson directly and order from them, the cost of items is higher than Sinclair, but Wilson will ship by US mail and is much cheaper than Sinclair for small orders.
