    I have a beautiful carbine that I really would like to use this fall for moose but have no hunting rounds and doubt if I could get all the ingredients and parts together to reload by then.....so one waits and searches.
    Boy, I have plenty of bullets, powder, and brass. I'd be more than happy load you some, but I wonder how many hoops one would have to jump through to get them to you.

    Thanks for the generous offer Tom. Right now we can't legally get any component for reloading, other than the dies, from the U.S. because Homeland Security will put all in chains and then off to sunny Gitmo? Actually, one can try and get the stuff into Canadaicon but it's not worth the risk. One would hope that with the trade and military and policing agreements something less rigid for non-criminals leaving the U.S. with ammo could be arranged. Hey, governments are the least likely creatures to do the will of the people. I had plans to travel south for some .43 Mauser, 8x56R and 6.5x52mm Carcano ammo but not after I read about the search, seizure and possible charges of Homeland Security goons at the border. It's difficult to understand their actions!
