APEX Ammunition Partners with Canuck Guns for Canadian Distribution

Tuesday, September 3rd, 2024

Columbus, Miss. (September 3, 2024) – APEX Ammunition is pleased to announce its partnership with Canuck Guns for distribution of its award-winning shotshells throughout Canada. Canuck now has 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, Canuck Guns. “I personally used their ammunition for my Royal Slam offive different wild turkey subspecies in 2023. It took exactly five shells. This ammo simply works like no other. APEXhas 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, 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 arehandcrafted “duplex” loads that offer the best of both worlds, combining APEX’s premium, zinc-coated S3 Steel pellets with ultra-high density Tungsten Super Shot for a harder-hitting payload and improved terminal performance to reduce crippling.

APEX Waterfowl S3 Steel ammo features premium 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 also use the same Tungsten-grade wad system found in APEX’s iconic Turkey TSS shotshells. The combination delivers lethal patterning, maximum barrel protection, and unmatched shot-to-shot consistency in a steel load.

Canadian Dealers and Outfitters who are interested in carrying APEX Ammunition shotshells may contact Canuck Guns at Dealer Inquiries.
