Hey all,

So it looks like I will be hunting next summer in SA, but I am having a heck of a time finding premium 9.3 286gr bullets in Canada. I have googled extensively looking for:
-NorthFork soft point
-Norma Oryx
-Swift A-frame
-Nosler partition

All I can find is 1 box (50) of Northforks at Prophet river, and what I would really like is about 150 of any of the above from the same lot. Anyone aware of a company that has a stash? Or does anyone have a stash they would not mind parting with (In Canada)?

Rounds will be used in a PG rifle, but since a buff is on the menu, I would not mind having the pg rifle ready for buff if one pops up.
 
I don't have bullets but i have hundreds of once used brass if you are interested
 
have you tried ammoseek.com or wikiarms.com?

Hawk makes a pretty stiff 285 gr bullet. Hammer makes premium monometals, but their heaviest 9.3 bullet is 258 gr, I believe.

Midway and @RAVEN ROCKS PRECISION are both showing 286 gr A Frames in stock. Don't know if they ship to Canada or not, tho.

Thanks, though I have had huge problems getting stuff shipped to Canada. Hilariously Canada does not care about the import, but the USA hates the export.

Try PM'ing Raven Rock. He's pretty responsive.

Official export is somewhat of a pain. We've been working imports for a while and it's been pretty difficult and slow going as well. Eventually we'll do more with that as the business grows and we can get more help, but it's going to take some time. I recognize the demand signal though.
 
Hey Just a Dude,
You could try X-reload in Quebec

Yea if you could sort out easy ways to import to Canada, it would open up some business for sure!
 
I have 100 Swift A-Frame 300 gr bullets plus 82 German Starkmantel (strong jacketed) 262 gr bullets.
 
I have 1bx -50 Barnes TSX 286gr. 1bx-50 Hornady Interlock 286gr.
 
Sorry I'm in Saskatchewan.
 
I’ve used Accubonds with great success in Africa, if you really want the brand of bullets that you state either Prophet River or I-runguns will import them for you if you can find someone willing to sell them to you and work with you, it does take a while to get them thoug, I’ve used Prophet River a few times to import components I couldn’t get in Canada. Also Midway refuses to export to Canada In any shape of from. Also it’s not chea.
 
try-x-reload.com, fast service and they have what you need.

Multiple boxes of the Barnes in stock if that helps any.

very difficult to get anything ammunition related across the border. Fortunately 9.3 are reasonably popular here.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock

+1 Great to deal with. I purchased custom rifle. No issues.

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary
