I was wasting some time in Canadian Tire today looking at power tools and stuff when i decided to look in the hunting showcase. To my surprise they had a case stocked with Imperial shotshells. I haven't seen these in a really long time. Like sometime back in the early 90s. So as you could imagine I quickly bought a box of number 2 lead as this is my favourite summertime Raccoon fodder. Got them home and slit the sticker to open the box and they are marked on the headstamp "Challenger" This is another Canadian ammo manufacturer. After some research I find out they bought the Imperial name and are now selling under that label. Cool enough i guess as long as they use the same loads as the old Imperial shells were. I remember everyone back in the day wanting that brand for hunting. After more research i found even the old "Dominion" name has been purchased by another Canadian manufacturer. Exciting times. Something about seeing the old name brands and box designs popping up again makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
