Importing truck loads of surplus ammo from USA IE .308

OK folks;
For all of you people who want an adventure in life, I have the following ammo for sale.
ALL is located in Europe in our facility, ALL clean 100% certified, good shooting ammo.
3.2 million rds .50bmg some linked 4;1, some boxed various configs.Various makers. 1960 through 1990s.
3.8 million rds 7.92Kurtz, all ball, all WW-11 German
1 million rds Winchester .30-06 Tracer, boxed. Late 1940s.

NONE of the above is approved for Canadian importation, not likely to be approved.

what is the reasoning for not approving it? is it the mercury in the primer?
 
nothing to do with mercury AFAIK. Most primers post-1918 are not mercuric anyhow, they are potassium chlorate.

I think it has to do with the standard deviation in burn rates, case specifications, etc. NRCan won't approve anything until they laboratory test it. Apparently their tests are such that most military spray and pray grade ammo doesn't pass muster for us lowly civilians.

After all, we can only hunt or target shoot, so they can claim it has to be really accurate ammo...?
 
SURPLUS AMMO;
One of the major issues with trying to get surplus approved....

They want original factory specs....

Copies of the drawings for the bullet jackets, the cores, the cases, the primer....

They also want the specs on the metal alloys used in all of the above....

They want to know the powder type & charge weight....

Chemical formula of the priming compound and charge weight used....

The also like to have copies of the quality control labs report on the lot(s) involved....

Of course all of the above must be submitted in English....

ALL of this BEFORE they will even consider testing the ammo....

In the case of German WW-11 ammo, which by the way is super quality, I have written to Mr Speer but he does not reply, I don't understand why....

The problem is they are applying a system designed for commercial explosives to ammo. It just does not fit well. You make, buy and use explosives within a short time. Few people use explosives that are old or from manufacturers that are now closed. Not the case with ammo.

John, I spoke with Albert the other day. Is he not returning your calls? ;)
 
I'm surprised that reloading companies such as BDX and Wolf are not expanding to reload .223, there seems to be a market for it and they have the storage facilities for powder and so forth.

CONTACT 148;
I knew there were generous, self-sacrificing people out there....Thank you for the kind offer....
BUT we do use a lot of ammo here for testing, while some ammo we have, such as .30-06,.308, 7.62x54r, etc, is NOT allowed on the market we can use it here for weapons testing....
As for what we have in Europe, well we have not made up our mind as yet....
Again thank you for your kind offer....
John
