Yes, Benny's Pro Shop at the Stittsville Range carries the Lee tools I mentioned above. Where did you pay $34/lb? Unfortunately, the price for powder at the Pro shop is usually a bit high, but they've always had what I needed when I needed it.Quote:

I have no issue picking up powder for anyone in the Ottawa region as long as you don't expect me to deliver.

clearly we need a separate reloading thread...
Benny's $34.00, but http://www.higginsonpowders.com/products.html has powder by the 7lb tub for $182, that’s about a year for me right now at the rate I am going. Once done this year with .223, 30-30, .308 and 30-06 I should have about 3000rds. Wonder if that is legal? I have hundreds of 9mm and 45acp brass I found at the range as well, but I don't load, my buddy does. Next is oven and 00 buckshot, and .50 cal for black powder and shotgun shell reloading. Still have 200 1oz lead slug and 250pds of lead ingots to use. Gonna have to find another source of lead though, getting hard to find. Was just on gunnutz and someone mentioned roofer who replaces lead flashing on roofs? Have a couple of buddies in the roofing business will talk to this summer at trailer park. One of them is a flat roof specialist.

The new wording in the Explosives Act provides a guideline. They are stating you can have sufficient loaded ammon on hand for personal use. The updated wording talks about Net Explosive Quantity (NEQ) which is a term I am well familiar with and I like much better. The NEQ limit is 225 kg for business. I interpret that to mean the absolute max for a reloader like us. I worked out what 225 kg equates to, 69300 cartridges if each cartridge has a 50 grain powder load. What I am seeing is that as long as you store things safely they will leave you alone.

Does this make sense???? From your link
Q. What are the limits on the number of small arms cartridges anyone can purchase and store?
There is no change. The limit is based on the amount of 225 kilograms of explosives in the cartridges. Therefore, the number of cartridges would depend on the calibre, e.g., 2.8 million .22-calibre cartridges or 100 000 12-gauge shot shells. Amounts beyond this would require a magazine licence.
It does make sense. What changed was the wording to make it more clear.
I use the Lee Cutter and Lock Stud for every cal...Well worth the $8...:)
