not equiped to reload but will someday.
Shootingedge said they have in pack of 480 for 259$ good deal but it's big quantity as I don't think I'll shoot 480 rounds in my entire life :p
 
This price is outrageous! I think it is about time we organized a group deal and imported some ammo from down south. I am planning to do it with 7.62x54R soon, will keep you gentlemen posted if I have any luck finding a willing FFL dealer.
 
This is still a big mistery for me whether it 'The One List' applies to individuals.
Does not look like that, from what I understand.

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.

You can make arrangements to import larger quantities through a Canadian shooting association, committee, or federation for team practice and competition at meets. For information on permits to import quantities of ammunition in excess of those mentioned above, contact:

Explosives Regulatory Division

An individual (non-resident Alien) cannot buy ammo on US soil it is illegal, it must go through a Licensed US exporter and a License Canadian importer and it must be on the list. To get ammo listed it must be tested takes about a year, most of the older military surplus stuff will not be approved anyway.

Isn't that what I suggested 2 messages above - to go thru an FFL licensed dealer?
Regarding the list, I am playing an unbeliever until someone points to a legal document, that clearly states that 'The One List' applies to the individuals too. So far no one has done so and I am convinced it only applies to the resellers.

In order for your dealer in the US to get an export permit he will need to provide an import permit and IIC. To gain these the ammo must be on the list, reseller or not.
 
You can simply call NRCAN, DoS and export control and ask. I don't have the time to look up the regs but you are dealing with people who say yes or no, not a machine. You must satisfy their requirements or they won't proceed.
 
Your better off to start reloading....

Milsurp ammo is good for dumping lead down range unless you "know" what you are getting.

Re-loads are about the same price and better accuracy IMHO
 
A little less talk and a lot more action, apply for your certificate, let us know how it works out and maybe convince some non believers to jump in on the next shipment with you.
 
For that kind of money, you can get an inexpensive loading press and dies, plus Unprimed brass is available from Midway and the K31 uses .30 calibre bullets.
 
Yes it can done if,

1- the ammo you want to import is on the list.

2- You get the appropriate Canadian permits listed above

3- You can find a US dealer or a distributor with an export permit who is willing to submit the paperwork to the US State Department

4- Find a transport company to ship you the ammo, forget about DHL, FEDEX, UPS they will not handle ammo shipments between countries. The shipper will probably require you use the services of a custom broker.

- Figure on about six to 8 months before you get your ammo.

You are far smarter then dozens of gun and ammo dealers, and some specific ammo dealers on this board then if you can import non-approved surplus from the US legally......:rolleyes:
