Why is Black Hills Ammo Banned???

Would think that dist in Canada do not handle it. Don't know where you got the we won't have it either? Can you explain? It is some of the most accurate .223 on the market today. I have been shooting it for at least 15 years, probably longer. Can't remember.
The only problems I see is they can't keep up with demand as with the rest of the mfg'ers. Govt. contracts must be filled for the war effort.

This is where I heard the rumor. http://www.predatormastersforums.com/ubb...page=0#52536369
Why is it more accurate ammo? And can I just but bulletes from them and reload my own?

It looks to me like the references in the post were made about the "RIFLES", not the ammo.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif
And yes, black hills just loads the same bullets that we do. Noslers, Sierra's, Hornady's, Barnes, etc..

CWeeks: Why is it that our peeps in Canada can't shoot black hills ammo, and also I have heard some speculation that it may not be real long before we won't have it either WHY IS THAT? I have never shot it so I don't know the down low about it.
Its not that the Black Hills ammunition is banned in Canada. As SteveM mentioned, I expect its a distribution issue. I have never seen the Black Hills ammo available here in Canada (though it might be, I dunno), and bringing ammo across the border is a nightmare of red tape.

And its not that the AR15 rifles are banned as such. They're classified as "restricted", meaning we Canadians need a note from God (practically) to own and use them at a range, and we cannot ever use them for hunting. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif Oh, and btw, while I'll be the first to agree that our gun laws are nonsensical, there are worse places in the world for that kind of thing. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
