Why would you want or have to. Nothing you cannot get in canada. Plus a bag of no.9 shot is like 50 bucks US there and 55 CD here

Import some shot from peru or somewhere else cheap.
It's classified as a component just like bullets primers etc ITAR controlled . Bass Pro around here sells Eagle shot (Peru) $55 a bag

Thank you.
A few years back I was able to order brass shotgun hulls from the US. As I understand it, iirc, shotgun components were controlled by the US Commerce Dept, not the State Dept, and so ITAR didn’t apply and they could be exported.
Years ago I bought all of my reloading components except powder and primers state side including hulls direct from remington but times have changed. Now they won't even ship plastic wads

That goes for targets wads components loaders ammo and the list goes on and on . I am 36KM away and both outfits are great to deal with and always fair with the price . They are the reason we have some many good active clubs in the region. Yes we are very spoiled .
And the cheapest lead state side is 65 CD and you have to get it here . Big saving
Or you buy it by the pallet like we have for years
and get a bud with a big rig to swing by and pick it up and still get it for what you pay Only problem with that is even after the split one has to sit on 100 bags

Lead shot that’s sold as a reloading component is subject to export restrictions.
That same lead shot sold as ballast weight or radiation shielding can be freely exported.
Just something to consider…

?? The stuff we use for the boats for ballast is soft, not uniform size and 9 times out of 10 reclaimed from what ever and not close to what I reload with. If one was rich I guess you could buy reloading shot but more than likely labeled as such and not allowed to be exported even for ballast

Why is there not a huge Ballistic Product's (Canada) firm in Ontario?
There is a guy in Alberta that sells their product basically out of a barn.
I have asked BP management why nobody in Canada has approached their firm for large sale distribution nation wide.
Their reply was they are always open to discussion.
There is obviously more to this story.
