Apex Ammunition announced that Canuck Guns, the importer and distributor of firearms and accessories to Canadian firearms dealers, will distribute its shotshells throughout Canada.

Canuck also distributes Apex Waterfowl Blends and S3 Steel loads in stock in 12- and 20-gauge.

“Canuck Guns is proud to partner with Apex Ammunition to bring the very best in custom-loaded hunting shotshells to Canada,” said Phil O’Dell, president of Canuck Guns … Apex has long known Canadian hunters have wanted the best ammunition, and we are honored that they chose Canuck as their national distribution partner for Canada.” 

“As the Apex brand has grown, so has the demand for our product from our northern neighbors who are as passionate about hunting as we are,” said Jason Lonsberry, president and CEO of Apex Ammunition. “We are pleased to partner with the Canuck Guns team to ensure more Canadian hunters have access to our line of handcrafted ammunition through their local dealers and outfitters.”

Apex Waterfowl TSS-S3 Steel Blend shotshells are handcrafted “duplex” loads that combine Apex’s zinc-coated S3 Steel pellets with high-density Tungsten Super Shot for a “harder-hitting payload and improved terminal performance to reduce crippling.”

Apex Waterfowl S3 Steel ammo features “zinc-plated steel to ensure consistently round pellets with anti-corrosion properties and superior patterning performance.” The zinc coating reduces friction, resulting in “more consistent pellet drop when loading the shotshells and better movement of the pellets against each other in the firing process.” The S3 Steel Waterfowl loads use the same Tungsten-grade wad system found in Apex’s Turkey TSS shotshells. The combination delivers barrel protection and shot-to-shot consistency in a steel load.
