Canada Ammo does it again. cheap norc 556 while it lasts!

Took mine to the range t'other day. Out of a 1/7 twist barrel, the accuracy performance past 25 yds is dodgy. However - the stuff goes "bang," cycles the action, and after making 100 "bangs" and finding 93 of the cases, the brass seems to be pretty good for loading. Doesn't appear to have a crimped primer pocket, all needed trimming to length, and only had 3 cracked cases - I know that's a high cracked-case rate for "good" brass but I've paid more (in NZ) for un-loaded Lapua brass for my target pistol than I paid for this loaded 5.56.
Now to find a source for reasonably priced 62 (or 68, or 69) grain projectiles...
Is it possible to make them without having a factory?

Ive ordered 2 restricteds and a case of 556 from Canam, each time, well over 2 weeks. So I must be the only one not getting this "wonderful" fuzzy feeling about how fast they ship.
Credit Card is hit the same day the order is placed, wait 2 to 3 days to process, then still wait over 2 weeks for it. That's 10 full business days after the 3 day process wait.
And no, the cfo had both transfers ready the same day requested.

I dont know what to tell ya other than that sucks and dont order from them anymore then. I guess thats your decision however if the free shipping isnt quite quick enough. Typically 3 days processing 3 days to get to my door. Cant speak for Regina shipping time. Looks like its substantially longer, lucky me I guess.

I guess on the same token another sponsor ships ammo only via UPS from Ontario and they rape me $60 bucks to ship a case and it takes a couple weeks from order to my door. I'd gladly wait a couple weeks if it was free. The fact I pay that much for the shipping results in me avoiding ordering from that sponsor unless I am desperate.

I have learned to appreciate free shipping.
 
there is a lot of controversy over the su-16f, the canadian variant. there are no end of these types of "can i shoot 5.56 in my su16?" posts. the info all points towards the fact that keltec only manufactures 5.56 barrels but because of export restrictions from the US they have to be stamped .223. which is pretty confusing but seems to make sense. what's cheaper: using your preexisting manufacturing means and manufactured barrels and changing the stamp or recalibrating the manufacturing equipment, makeing a whole new barrel that you dont sell to your largest consumer base( the US) for the benefit of a smaller consumer base?

add to this forum members saying they have actually contacted keltec about the issue and have had the company confirm that all their barrels are 5.56. the waters get a bit murky
