Reloading supply sourcing

Hey Guys,

Further to my other post about reloading old mil surplus .303, I'm going ahead with having my cousin, a very competent reloader, reload my brass.
We're gonna start with the the 30 rounds of Winchester hunting brass that I "found" in my garage. In other words, I policed my brass the last time I was at the range,. stuffed them into a plastic ziplock, put em in a box in the garage and forgot about them only to "find" them last week while reorganizing the garage and pantry. (sort of like finding a 20 dollar bill in your pants pockets while doing laundry). ;-)

I'm not going to mooch supplies off my cousin, so I'm on the hunt for Large Rifle Primers, and 180 bullets (waiting on him to tell me which powder to get).

Here's the rub,

Trying to find a source for the bullets and primers is like pulling hen's teeth. I've managed to fund the bullets at a retailer close to his place, but damn, trying to find the primers is like pulling hens teeth.

Anyone know of a retailer/supplier up here that has any? I've tried the ones I know of and nothing.

I'm not looking to buy from anyone here (not gonna break the rules) just looking for a lead or two on to where I can an online retailer or supplier who might have some.

Any help would be appreciated.

Okay this is awkward.

Minutes after posting, by some stroke of luck (or a miracle) I found a retailer who had a box available for purchase. So I guess we can close this one off.
 
P&D in Edmonton, but be aware that they are limiting quantities for each purchaser and the shipping cost is brutal; which may be prohibitive for some. (which is why I didn't post the information to begin with.)

Personally, I stuck between anvil and hammer on this so I'm taking it on the chin (and in the wallet); otherwise I would not have swallowed the shipping costs and scrapped my plans.

You didn't mention your location.

Budget Shooter has everything you're looking for as well. His shipping on powder and primers isn't out of line, unless you're shipping to the Territories or NFL

Powder and primers and loaded ammo has a hazmat fee and can only be shipped by ground.
 
@Hmatt, Convenient having family in the area. Good luck.

@bearhunter, eastern Ontario. I called around a lot of places here and in central Ontario and no one has any, so unfortunately it's taking on the chin time or wait until stocks rebound; which I was told by many, could take a long time given the state of the world.

@antiqueguy so I discovered. ;-)



On the "good news" side of all of this good old Epps has both the bullets and powder I need, and I'll be in the area later this month so no shipping costs.

Order and pay now, to avoid disappointment when you arrive at the store only to find it has been sold? They keep it on the shelf at the entrance awaiting your arrival...
