I read the sticky about "the sale of IVI ammunition, components and spent casings are disallowed" in the reloading EE ...

I'm not sure what IVI stands for?

Thanks
 
Just curious
Is this the only reason why IVI ammo cannot be sold. Or is there a legal standing that IVI ammo can't be sold or in civy hands?
I understand the reasoning about theft and resell.

This, and they don't allow it to be resold because it is extensively used by the military or RCMP. They don't want to support the theft of ammo or components from Her Majesty.

Not sure if still applies. Quite a lot of IVI brass from factory reloaders on the market these days and General Dynamics released a significant amount of General Dynamics (IVI) 9mm 147gr Non Toxic. Some dealers still has some left.

You do realize that the military sells spent cases in bulk to public right? Budget Shooter Supply sells 223 ivi brass. X metal uses ivi cases for reloads too.

All brass sold as surplus is sold as scrap brass and there is a cause that the seller is to demilitarize by destruction of the brass so it cannot be re-used. There is a UN treaty we signed back in the 80s that requires us to do this. So in reality IVI brass in useable condition should not exist.
 
I buy IVI from X-reload... machine gun fired 7.62x51, first FL sizing is a bit of a #####, but it's good after that. I run it through my semi's and it lasts quite a long time.
 
I don't see this clause anymore...

You could do worse than spend some time looking in to that, and getting yourself up to date with how it is being handled.

Small arms casings are now routinely being sold off in bulk without the clauses included.

The heavier stuff, artillery casings and that like, are being drilled, effectively destroying them before sale.
They have not been listing the clause either of late.

If it was a big deal, they would have invested in a shredder to run it all through, and, were it a real issue, likely a puck compressor too, to reduce the scrap volume, but they have not. Both of those technologies are readily available and are used in places that do a LOT of machining, to reduce the volume of the waste material.

Been about a year since I have seen any casings on Crown Assets with the ITAR clauses attached.

Maybe it was a case of actual policy change, or maybe it was a case of policy actually being mis-applied, but that seems the new normal.
