After considerable consultation, the Explosives Regulatory Division of Natural Resources Canada has issued the following update on their website:
July 28, 2006 - Ammunition Update - Handloading Regulations
http://www.nrcan-rncan.gc.ca/mms/exp...er/whnew_e.htm
Currently, the government will not be proceeding with any new handloading regulations.
Handloading, when properly practised, has been shown to be a safe activity and it has a good safety record. Any potential amendments that are made to the regulations will only be done after a need has been established and extensive consultations have been conducted.
