Cabelas has them. However, I would suggest a less expensive and better performing whole-copper cartridge, i.e. Federal Trophy Copper 165 or 180 gr. In this regard, you can read in a previous post the results of a test I recently carried out:

Thanks, no Cabelas in Calgary yet.
Read your post but was really impressed with the performance of the Barnes, grouping and fast one shot kills. Used and I am sure will use again the Federals with success but am a Barnes convert for now. Only $.50 a shell more.

Cabelas.ca has both in stock. Grouse river's website had the 168 grain not too long ago.

And if you call Grouse River, they might actually have half of what their website claims to be in stock.
