Another sponsor just announced they're selling new production IVI 9mm. I'm wondering if you guys have anything similar in the works? Would be interested in bulk 9mm and 5.56

Pretty much this^

I want to shoot Canadian ammo through my Canadian guns. I've just done a lot of business with you guys in the past, and you tend to have the best prices so thought I'd ask before buying from another dealer at a likely higher price.

As far as I can tell, there is no business case for us to carry it, sorry.

At the price the other dealer wants for it, they can keep it.

If you looked close you would see that it is non-toxic. Essentially equivalent to Winchester Winclean 147gr which is always a premium price over other bullet types. Many indoor ranges are mandating non-toxic ammunition now.
 
I'm not an expert, but I would say that the production quality of the issued IVI 5.56 is actually really good, considering the volume they must put out in order to meet the contract. Seems to be consistent and predictable out to 400M, with 500M being iffy thanks to wind, user error, and the round itself (.556 out of a 1:7).
If more people sold it in 62 or 69 gr to the general public for a decent price, I would buy it.

(I know it was originally about 9mm, but the 9mm IVI shoots like 9mm should)

That's nice, but not relevant to me.
 
With commodity prices in the ####ter and such abundance of copper and zine produced in Canada, plus the low Canadian dollar, and the fact that DND cannot possibly be buying bullets like they did between 2003 and 2013, isn't it possible for IVI to at least match PMC prices?

IVI 9mm is sub gun ammo. It is loaded HOT and it is LOUD. Some people like that.

Sounds like a great fantasy! Back in the day when we used SMG's, the same ammo was used in both handguns & SMG's. If I remember correctly without looking up the CFTO, the MV was 1,240 +/_ 40 fps.
 
I've clocked IVI (80s production) out of my Glock 17 at over 1350 approaching 1400 fps. I think that is +p+ territory, no?
