I'm sitting here north of the border and in a dilemma.
I am looking for 350 Rem Mag brass, sizing dies and bullets for reloading.
Midway has it all, but will not ship here. All my local gun shops shrug their shoulders and say "maybe, in a few years, the components will arrive, piecemeal likely"
So here is my question;
1) do I find locally and take the parent or other child cases and neck up/down?
2) if the above is a good idea, where the heck do I get the dies to do this? What do I have to look for? A neck-up die? What is that called?
3) given the above, should I source 7mm Rem Mag and neck up (can this be done?) or 375 HH and blow out the case? Seems like option 2 is challenging.....
I've shipped Speer bullets to a friend in the US, and he then packaged it and sent it North. Might have labeled it "clock parts" or something, I am not sure. It was returned to him, with a stern note to stop doing that, and I got a note indicating that I was also under scrutiny. For a box of Speer 45-70s? I am talking lead, not the fully loaded-ready-to-hunt-with version.
Meanwhile, a familial relation of mine ordered it from Bass Pro (or Cabelas....) and it arrived in a week. These outlets generally do not stock 350 Rem Mag. If they do, and someone on the board knows that, I can make a call to that Outlet and believe me, Cabelas or Bass Pro will ship to my local store here in Canada. That would be.... simple too.
The point is, I am not spending $500 to have stuff seized because of random interpretations of laws. It is actually not illegal to ship the above components. The questions start when they are receiver parts or parts for automatic rifle conversion. That is way, way, way out of the discussion of brass and dies.
Ideas?
