I am not going to go into too much detail, but S&B is not on the approved list by calibre, just the name and a generic listing. They must authorize each import. Apparently, X54R was never on their internal authorized list, but was somehow approved and now they don't like it for whatever reason and have stopped it's importation and sale.
They deal with questions like these by sticking their fingers in their ears and humming as loudly as they can. Usually the only answer you can get comes in the form of an off pitch hummed willie nelson song.
Not to mention all the mercury that these new compact fluorescents will be putting into the ground when they start dying and people throw them out...

so is there any possibility that we may get some imported in the future
I heard about WOLF making a decent version of the russian 7.62/54 sniper round
on the SVD forum a while ago and was wondering if anyone is familiar with it or knows if it is possible to get in Canada. I doubt it would fall under the eco rules
for mercury and it was supposed to cost about half the price of commercial ammo. 7.62/54 is one of my favourite rounds. I mean just the fact it has been used in the military for over 100 years is freakin cool.

Not approved for sale in Canada.
We had our shipment blocked. It was coming with the load of x39. I know I am not going to have it tested. The main S&B importer should have the new stuf approved on-spec. That is much easier. We have other sources for later this year.
Good to know.
I'm just curious why NRCAN is being so hush-hush on the issue. Don't we deserve an explaination as to why certain brands of ammo are banned, and others aren't? If this truly is a back-door attempt to block ammo sales to civilians, then don't the Conservatives know about this, seeing as this is a federal agency and all?
Please read the other threads. CZ x54 is not banned, NRCAN says it was never approved, thus it must now be to begin imports again, like any other ammo. However, they are hush-hush about what products from S&B are approved. The don't publish a list for S&B, you have to ask.
