Surplus 7.62x51 Nato...

travel south by care with an American who can possess all he wants in the U.S and when you get to the border, simply declare it and its over, not much U.S. side can do. all in my opinion of course. Canadians with ammo in the U.S without the right permits are hooped. U.S. citizens are absolutely free to do as they please, are they not???? not claiming this is 100% accurate But believe it falls under the regs. AIMHO

Ahhhh, the part about EXPORTING it out of the US is very wrong. Americans aren't "free to do as they please" when exporting. The American can take with him a small amount for personal use outside the US, for hunting or competition. Not to sell or give away. As such, it would also have to be the American that declares the ammo bringing it into Canada. (export/import occurs simultaneously, if he gives it to you at the border for you to import, then he is exporting and requires a permit.)

EVERYTHING else requires a US Export Permit, which can only be obtained through a US exporter registered with the US State Department.

I recall recently reading a couple stories on here where Canadians trying to import ammo without permits have been turned back (or you could just surrender the ammo)

A far as a Canadian purchasing and possessing ammo in the US, no problem as long as you have a hunting license from any state, or an invitation to a qualifying competition.

And if he is permitted in both countries? It seems there are a few cracks that allow one to export form the U.S. but not too many

There are no "cracks". There is only one exemption to export without an export permit, as mentioned above. It doesn't matter if a person is "permitted" in both countries, has dual citizenship etc., export is still export, and applies to everyone.

Does the personal exemption apply to import from countries other than the USA?

Yes, but it doesn't change the fact that unless the ammunition is on the List of Authorized Explosives you will be denied its importation to Canada. Last time I looked at the list there were a scant few listings for surplus 7.62 NATO, if any. Reloading is where it's at, and with a good progressive you can crank out rounds really fast for less than you can buy surplus.

See my earlier post. If you bring in LESS than 5000 rounds for PERSONAL USE (you can't resell it) then it doesn't have to be "on the list"...... This is an NRCAN exemption.

If you've never bought surplus ammo in a crate, here's a look. Each understated crate of .308 is about 67 pounds of goodness. I weighed it out of curiosity. By the way, Henry is a pleasure to deal with.

haven't seen surplus 752x51 in a long time. The Shooting Edge has bulk 308, but at $417/500 :p

guess you'll have to start reloading!
 
It' s hardly worth reloading at the price I sell a crate for. After you shoot it all. Take the brass to a scrap yard & get paid between $1.00 to $2.00 a lb for it. Theres 30 lbs of brass in a crate. Do the math.
Regrads, Henry
