Unfortunately all reloading components are ITAR controlled and restricted to exporting to Canada. It is possible, bit special permits are required......It is not cost prohibitive.....

200 bucks?? Even Canadian that is wayyy too expensive. I do understand things are a bit ....ummmm... different in Canada. Hope it shoots well for you. I've only used a little 4831 SC. Had to try it but have stuck with the old H since I already have it and the loads "worked" up.

Nosler bullets are extremely expensive here

So is powder.

Plus side....everything i have loaded will shoot under 2 inches at 100 yards. Down side....i cant seem to find a perfect load. H4831sc an the 110 gr SST showed promise. But i always get that 1 flyer.... :/

Holy Cow it should shoot an inch or so..maybe less. Older 77 or a Mark 2? Front action screw pulls back.. Make sure it is tight. Loosen up... put a piece of very thin plastic card stock right at the bbl receiver junction and retighten. May need two thin pieces..but try one first. Not credit card thick now. Thin plastic card. Reason for plastic is it will not absorb water. paper will. Can't hurt..worked on one of my 77s and on a #1 I had. If you can find a friend with the old H4831. If you have a Nosler loading manual look in it for good powders. The SST bullet shoots good in my 30-06. It is too lightly constructed for elk IMO but should be good for deer
