7.62 Nagant is a VERY different cartridge.

That is some 7.62 Nagant, which I sold a couple months ago.
 
"...to be used in my nagant bolt action or my svt 40..." That isn't 7.62 Nagant. It's 7.62 x 54R. Go to Epp's. Not likely to have milsurp in cases, but you never know. Shipping won't be cheap.
Reloading makes this search for ammo go away.
 
In the last 4 weeks, it's been taken off the NRCan approved list. Some dealers/importers are sitting on HUGE quantities of it that they aren't allowed to (and won't) sell anymore.

:confused: Do you mean NRCAN previously approved specific caliber/brands, dealers bought it, and are now stuck with it? or is it that specific brands and lots were bought before they were tested by NRcan, and the ammo didn't pass whatever tests NRcan requires? or has all 7.62 x54R ammunition been taken off the approved list, regardless of whethere it was approved before?

depending on what they did, seems to me therecould be grounds for a lawsuit

Just a guess here, but i'd say S&B milsurp ammo may have been the one taken off the "approved" lists, at the request of Environment Canada, based on the type (and specifically the composition) of primers that it has. It passes NRCAN standards, but EC was concerned about mercury in the primers, something that is common in combloc ammo (I've heard of such excuses for "bans" before). Your guess is as good as mine though.

No, the dealers bought it, imported it with NRCan approval, sold it for a couple years and then all of a sudden, it was "unapproved" for reasons unknown to me, but likely known to the imnporter.

And yes, the importers are left holding the bag. Hopefully they sold enough before it was unapproved to break even. If not, they have my sympathies.

Life ain't fair, it would seem.
 
damn. That certainly lowers the desirability of Mosins and their 7.62 firing ilk. Yes, I know, reload reload reload, but it sure was nice when cheap ammo was as difficult as a drive to SIR.

*Siiiiiiggghhhhh* Once again, government makes stupid laws. Here we have pollution in all shapes and forms all over canada, and they're worried about a salt or mercury bases primer in some cartridges. The must train special kinds of fools to make laws.

Seems we're suffering the death of a thousand cuts...:mad:
 
Indeed, one is allowed to smoke up many more harmful chemicals in much larger quantities through cigarettes, but god forbid a few consenting history enthusiasts expel microscopic traces of mercury.
 
NRCAN says it was never aproved, but somehow they issued import permits. You figure it out. NRCAN is very cagey about it. We had to take X54 off our latest shipment.
 
Someone please explain to me how 7.62x39 made in the same factory by the same maker in the same year shipped in the same blue cardboard and the same crates is OK, but the 54R marked ammo is NOT.

I just don't get it!?!!?!?! What the heck are they smoking at NRCan?

Maybe they're waiting to see what the reaction to the 7.62 x 54R delisting is before they move in on the 7.62 x39 (of course, I forgot there are a lot of Canadian First Nations people who supposedly use SKS's to hunt). Are these not the same folks who proposed regulations that would have effectively banned reloading for city dwellers? I definitely smell a back door effort to choke ammunition supplies to the non-elite.

Then how could a VERY large shipment (and probably several) get import permits, then is distributed thru dozens if not hundreds of retailers, over a period of years, without anyone at NRCAN noticing ? On the surface at least it would appear their explanation just doesn't hold water.
