Had a request from a friend to bring some nosler partition bullets (not ammunition, just the bullet) with me on my next trip to Africa. Does anyone know if I can bring a couple hundred bullets over in my check bags without dealing with a bunch of governmental bullshit?
 
You will be ok brining them. I just brought 2000 bullets for a trade and I had no issues. I called CBP and they said it was ok.
 
Warbird782 - Good stuff.

Couple of questions...Did you need to declare them at the US airport when you left or at the SA airport when you arrived? I assume you just threw them in with one of your check-in bags?
 
Checked bag and no declaration. An outfitter that I know buys bullets every year in the US and brings them back in his baggage with no issues.
 
Sweet Jesus! Thank you for saving me a lot of time.

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
Ross
