I was at Vaughan mills today, so I visited Bass Pro. Unfortunately they've stopped carrying reloading gear and components, I guess because the amount of serious shooters who visit them is fairly low. That store is all touristy kitsch nowadays.

Anyway, what are my options to find a few pounds of Varget/H335/2230 and CCI BR4 primers in and around Toronto in terms of probable availability as well as a reasonable price? I'd like to buy that stuff locally to avoid the hazmat shipping charges. If I could also get some Lee dies and stuff, as well as hornady 68 gr HPBT bullets, so much the better.

I'm guessing that the Lebarons theoretically carries this stuff but good luck for it to be in stock. Epps is too far a drive. What about Flaherty's, or is it worth the 1 hr drive to Al Simmon's?
 
Call Williams Arms in Port Perry. They definitely carry Lee Dies and may have some of the other stuff you need. If you avoid rush hour can be quite a fast run along highway 7.
 
Bass Pro actually had very little in the way of reloading stuff from the day they opened. Higginsons Powders would be my pick for Hornady bullets and Lee gear (mailorder). As far as Lebarons or any other gunshop, phone ahead to see if they have what your looking for before making the drive.
 
Try Higginson Powders for your reloading supplies. If you buy enough bulk powder they look after the HazMat fees. Who could get by on just a few pounds of powder anyway:p
 
There is a gun store around 401 and dufferin, they might have some stuff and you don't have to drive 2 hours to get it. I forget the name of the store but it's close to Dufferin and Wilson ave. You could call in, order it and then drive in to pick it up. I think it's called Gionavi's maybe

"...Gionavi's..." Giovanni's. Just west of Dufferin on the north side of Wilson. Expensive though.
"...order it and then drive in to pick it up..." Not without paying first.
"...Epps is too far a drive..." Two hours up the 400. Don't go on the 400 cut off. Hwy. 400 changes to Hwy. 11 at Barrie. Stay on it and watch your speed north of Barrie. Worth the drive just to see it. They have stuff you won't see in other gun shops.

yea thats it but make sure you bring your PAL or you will never get into the store
 
I just call up Lee and order directly.
Bass pro did not have zilch! No pistol stuff whatsoever, very little of rifle reloads. They are a good source of rimfire bricks however, but that's it.
 
agent mango,

I order lots of staff in US from Sinclair INtl. and I tell you they cheaper then our local guys even with shipping charges and duties and taxes I have to pay.

Is William's any good? And is LeBaron's perpetually out of reloading supplies, like other items? :(

John and the boys carry a wide range of powders and bullets. Call them to check if they have what you need in the shop. They have an off site magazine for propellants and giving them a heads up allows them to bring what you need to the shop.

The bad thing about Williams is that it is difficult to leave without buying more than you intended to.
