Aguila Sniper .22 SSS

[zywina]

Guys I just am telling you my personal experiance with US/Canada customs., I have brought back Augila ammo in small batches, but this is because half my family are American/Canadians. While my family comes back to hunt and fish they bring whatever is legal here in Canada. I did not know that the Super Sniper was on a band list? And I will tell you for sure the Canada customs gave no troubles to them in this regard. This for sure now I know, and I appreciate it that I was informed by you fine gentalmen! thanks Trev!

I am across borders every month or 2 and see how stupid it is getting supplies out of the US, I guess I just hate it that so little has to be done for US citizens to export product, while I get hassled in bring plain old lumber into Canada from the US?I think most of what NAFTA brought to the table, still benifits the US in ease of crossing borders than it does Canada, just my opinion? I sill can have an opinion right?

And yes the Super Sniper shot well in some of my guns, while others it mas abismal! I thanks all for letting me know that this is a band ammo here in Canada, when our own Canada Customs did not know this! I think I will hire Trevj to be our new head of Canada Customs, you sir now the job better than our local border service!Thanks again Dale Z

I'm 99.9% convinced that most members dont read posts or understand what they are reading before they reply....

Zywina - you said 'band list' - are we talking about musicals? Or did you mean, "Banned List" which no one has ever heard of, so I would infer that you mean 'prohibited'. If you are refering to Aguila SSS ammo being 'prohibited' in Canada than clearly you are not understanding all the previous posts on this topic and you have to start over....

His English skills aside he seems to understand quite readily what the situation is. That customs mistakenly does not seize unauthorized ammunition is immaterial, it is still not permitted for importation to Canada.

zywina, your attempts at sarcasm are coming up short. It was sarcasm, yes?

Customs isn't the problem.

The problem is that you cannot export the stuff from the US. Taking it out yourself, sending it out, having a friend or family member bring it, or mailing it to yourself back at home, is Exporting it.

To Export it from the US, legally, you need to be a Licensed Exporter, which means you have to be a US citizen. And pay to have the privilege to be an Exporter. And then you need to apply for an export permit, that you need to have an Import Permit for, from the Country you will be Exporting it to.
Because the Ammo is not on the list at NRC, they won't issue the import permit. For ammo that IS on the list, they will.

Canada Customs will allow you to bring in up to 5000 rounds. They don't care if you end up in US jail for possessing those 5000 rounds, as that is US Law, and not their problem. They care about what comes in. The US cares about what goes out. The people who watch over what goes out of the country, have no sense of humor at all.

Easy, no?

If the proposals to synchronize and cooperate along the Canada/US border come to pass, there may be a lot more hurt coming down, as the US folks will be able to see what got declared here.
Not a good thing, IMO.

NAFTA. Yep. Mostly about how it could benefit the US. But it still has nothing to do with this. This situation is all about keeping weapons and ammo out of the hands of terrorists. That's what they say, anyway. Yeah, right.

Cheers
Trev

For real, much respect to you!
You keep explaining the same thing over and over in this post, and yet, its still not getting through - lol - How many more times can you possibly explain it??

I have a case, but they are very inaccurate. Is there a special type of barrel or gun they were meant for?

I shot a brick. They have no practical use as far as I could tell. Faster twist might reduce tumbling and keyholing, but they are still garbage. They are definitely not for snipers, unless the sniper has a hush puppy and plans to use it for a single shot at very close range. No good in semiautos either: Won't cycle blowback semis, and they tend to light your sleeve on fire. Ruined a nice windbreaker that way.
Don't waste your money. Buy lapua scoremax. Heavy bullet, full brass, accurate, and by far the hardest hitting subsonic .22lr I know of. Was available in Canada last I checked.

Guninhand : if you have a nylon 66, try it in there. Of all my rifles this one shot it best

 

[guninhand]

Thanks Reg. Had a Nylon 66, it worked perfect, but sold it. Tried some of this SSS in a 20 inch bolt action yesterday and it might be ok, hard to tell without a bench rest. There was a hint of keyholing.

Too bad there are no Canadian ammunition companies to manufacture the SSS. If we had some it would be a sure bet that they would sell out to an American company (like Diemaco making rifles- our gov. should have chosen the Finnish SAKO RK 95. That way the Americans would not be able to twist our arms- sorry about the bad pun ).
