The first box I got from them was flawless, but the second box had issues.
I did notice they sent out the replacement box in a ziptied bag inside of a box instead of just a box. I also thought but wasn't sure that when I had the squibs the powder looked and felt wet. Just an observation...
For me the hangfires were more like 0.5 seconds to 1 second, which is still alot of time. The squibs were the first I've ever had. Unburnt powder and the bolt didn't travel far enough back to eject... Still dangerous.
I tried about 50 rounds last February, split between a SKS and a CZ-858. No hangfire or failure to fire in my case. All rounds went off as they are supposed to. Accuracy wise, with the pulled CanAmmo 7.62x39, I got about 4" to 4.5" at 50 m including flyers, closer to 3" while neglecting the flyers. For comparison, I also mainly shot some Barnaul from the same rifles and usually got about 2" to 2.5" at 50 m, with basically no flyers...
On my next range trip, I might try to sort per headstamp to see if that makes a difference. So far so good with my case of pulled ammo, but maybe I have not shot enough of it to run into hangfires yet...
Wow, I'm a bit concerned now.. I bought a box last week for my new AR-15 SBR build. It's my first experience with Canada Ammo - I have not shot any of it yet, but when I opened the box I was surprised to see that it was all loose packed in one large plastic bag rather than individual boxes (see Pic) is this normal? I am planning to take an inexperienced shooter to the range next weekend, but maybe I should leave this ammo at home until I have had a chance to evaluate.. I'd hate to put my guest in a squib situation with a semi-auto.
Oh I miss the days of cheap(er) bulk non-corrosive 7.62x39 that was packaged acceptably.. without QC issues.
