Where oh where can I find a supplier for large bore rifles and ammo. I have given up on finding Woodleigh softs let alone solids. Barne's banded solids in numbers great enough to allow load development let alone sight in. Any suggestions. This stuff is for African dangerous game. Barnes x don't work on hippos and elephants. .375,.416, and .458 bore.
Is there any supplier in Canada that routinely handles African sized big bore supplies?
I have not seen .375H&H brass for a year now.

Have ya checked Russels or Wholesale Sports. They both have websites. I get my 405 Win brass and bullets through Wholesale Sports, and they have it in stock most times. Even have Barnes X bullets in stock for the 405. Can't imagine them not having something as common as 375 H&H brass.

.375 H&H brass in Remington is extinct. When I say I want large bore supplies, I mean solids and soft bullets, dies, and brass. In quantities that matter. P&D brings in one box of Barnes banded solids. What the hell good is that.
Specifically, does anyone in Canada bring in Woodleighs, or even Barnes banded solids, in say a dozen boxes?

Also , you may try Ellwood Epps in Ontraio, they carry a lot of that stuff. Oldbadger got his Barnes solids from there for his 450 Ackley. Reliable guns in Vancouver also. Cat

There is no .375H&H brass around, Reliable gets their supplies from Caldwells who have none as their sales guy who moonlights at Italian Sports informed me over two months ago. Nobody in Vancouver ever has carried a really adequate stock of reloading conponents as so many shooters would drive into WA to buy at Kesselring's Gunshop in Alger and Canadian stores cannot compete with their prices.
I use Winchester .375H&H brass in my rifles, only have two left in this chambering and I hoard it like a miser. I would check into importing from the US by mail if it is now doable again.
