The actions of a Canadian company are difficult to understand. IVI started producing the Imperial line in 1977 and IVI was purchased by SNC in 1980. Production of ammunition for the military was always a larger part of IVI's business because it tended to be consistent. In 1983 and 1984, production at IVI was cut back as they retooled to produce 5.56 mm. Through the later 80's, military production increased and it may be that civilian ammunition production decreased at that time to concentrate on the more lucrative military contracts.
The correct answer to "why" is no doubt buried in IVI somewhere but it may be along the lines that they were more interested in making money with better contracts than they were with making sporting ammunition.

What year did IVI take over small arms ammunition production from CIL?
I believe IVI took over the CIL ammunition business in the very early 1970s. By 1973 almost all of the ammunition produced by CIL had been changed to IVI. As I recall there were only a few ammunition lines kept these being 22LR, 12 Ga and 20 ga shotshells and a few rifle calibers (30-06, 303, 308..?) In the military line, they took over the Government's Dominion Arsenal which made mostly 7.62 NATO ammunition, 9mm Parabellum and some larger stuff like 50BMG occasionally. The takeover of the DA was first then they took over CIL.
