You can ship ammunition, via courier like Canpar or DHL, but ammunition, brass, powder, primer and bullets are restricted materials, that require special export permits to ship it out of the USA. The export permits aren't cheap, so most companies won't bother, unless the order is substantial.

X-Reload is listing Hornady brass in stock, and it is in Canada.

Prophet River has 6.5 Creedmore ammo listed on their website.

The last time I looked the Southland & Macleod CT had some Creedmore, though its been a while since I looked for that calibre specifically (another AO WTB post made me look at the time).

Lapua doesn't make 6.5 Creedmore. Lapua brass is only about 15% more than Winchester.

If Lapua made brass for the 6.5 Creedmoor, the cartridge would likely be more popular.

I did find you some brass, now pick some up, and get the load development going. That gun deserves some loads developed just for it.

That's what I meant by I think. I saw a lot of different 6.5 brass when I got my 260 rem brass but I wasn't sure if I saw creedmor. You should still check with them as they might have what you need.

I believe you should be able to reform 6.5 creedmore from 308 brass .

Way easier with 22-250 brass. Comes out a little short.
