Canadian suppliers list :.223 rem and 5.56mm ammo updated

[hfp75]

People are just gouging. No way surplus should be ~$1 / round, its almost cheaper to just shoot Gold Metal Match....

who might that be???...I received a quote today of $320/500 rounds of Rem UMC...Wolverine is advertising on their website 1000 rds of PMC 55 grn .223 for even less per round than the previously mentioned price (of course shipping would apply for me, but not PST...hmmmm now where is that visa card???)...

I have used lots of Rem UMC - just make sure you clean the rifle well. UMC tends to build dirtier than other ammo.

Is Ruag .223 ammunition O,K? I understand it's Swiss made.

Sorta like asking is a BMW ok? Ruag is pretty much the heat when it comes to 5.56, which is why guys will pay double the cost of other stuff to get it. The high speed guys buy it in multiple cases when it's available.

Ordered 300 rounds of PMC ( .223cal. ) from The shooting Edge in Calgary for $10.00 a box. With shipping comes out to 56 cents a round. Not the best ammo around but it will do for now. Still looking at reloading equipment. Maybe when Obama pulls the majority of troops out of Iraq the availability and price will be better, provided the U.S. export ban doesn't take place. The RUAG ammo that I talked about in my previous post was too expensive.

I saw a sign in the store at Silverdale Range on the weekend stating Obama will shortly outlaw ammo exports... any truth to this? Can I get 223 less than 50 cents a round anywhere these days?

U.S. ammo supply in jeopardy?
U.S. legislation could affect export of ammo to Canada

February 17, 2009

Moncton Times & Transcript

Those owning firearms chambered for .308 Winchester and .223 Remington cartridges will be interested to learn that although not yet implemented, there is legislation on the books in the United States that would prohibit the export of these cartridges to Canada.

This is presumably due to the use of vast amounts of the military versions of these cartridges over in Iraq and Afghanistan. If this does indeed occur, keep in mind that there are numerous European and Scandinavian companies that also manufacture these cartridges and would soon fill in for the U.S. manufacturers.

The list also includes the 50MG, 7.62X39mm Soviet army cartridge, and the 9mm and .45 auto handgun cartridges.

That has been discussed off and on for a long time. Do a search if you're looking for some very knowledgeable input on the topic. Let's try to keep this thread on topic (a list of suppliers and prices).

Ammunition
Both Canadians and non-residents may import sporting and competitive ammunition for their personal use, but if they want to import hollow-point ammunition labelled for use in handguns, they need written authorization from Natural Resources Canada.

Canadian residents do not need a permit from Natural Resources Canada to import:
small arms sporting ammunition up to a maximum of 5,000 rounds;
percussion primers, up to a quantity of 5,000;
empty primed cartridge cases, up to a quantity of 5,000; and
propellants (smokeless and black powder), up to a maximum of 8 kilograms, (17.66 pounds).

Within these limits, non-residents can import 200 rounds duty free for hunting purposes, or up to 1,500 rounds duty free for use at a recognized
competition.
