Hornady ELD 6mm ARC availability in Canada

[horpensky]

Wife and daughter may be getting into the hunting game (mostly deer and moose) and am looking to add a low recoil rifle for them to use. After perusing the builds on here, am quite intrigued by the 6mm ARC Howa Mini option, but don't reload and am having difficulty finding any availability of the factory Hornady ELDM/ELDX offerings in Canada. Does anyone have any info on when stock may be replenished up here?

And considering the difficulty in finding 6ARC ammo, am I better off going with a Tikka in .243? (minimum of .240/6mm to hunt here)

I would just get a Tikka in .243.

You're in AB you can now hunt with .22 centerfire it's in our new regs. Just an option you may not have thought of.

Oh wow, didn't notice that. That makes a .223 a viable option which is great.

Hey horpensky in AB as well (Edmonton) I have 6 boxes of 103gr Precision Hunter and 36 boxes of 108gr ELD-M in 6ARC if you're interested.

Thanks for the offer, but upon realization that 22 calibre is now legal in AB for big game, I ended up going with a RS 223 special.
