I pack my ammo in a lockable $5 Harbor Freight plastic ammo box. This last safari I only took twenty rounds each 404J and 30-06, each in their own individual plastic ammo containers. I customized the plastic container for 404J so the cartridges could not rattle. All plastic ammo container lids are secured with elastic ribbon from my late wife's sewing box. And I used Dremel tool with carving burr to engrave the caliber on one side of container lid and my name, address, etc on the other side. Not real classy (I misspelled my last name on 30-06 container
) but does the job.
The ammo box also contains 1) two screwdrivers, one large for action screws and one tiny for resetting iron sights 2) extra locks for gun case and ammo box 3) a couple pairs of socks or underwear to keep everything packed tight.
Twenty rounds for each rifle proved sufficient but thirty for the 30-06 would have been better. Thirty for both would require four plastic ammo containers and I don't think they would all fit in that ammo box.
I additionally secure the latch and lock on ammo box as well as each latch on my Pelican Vault gun case with duct tape. Put the duct tape roll in checked bag. Some security agents won't let it go through in carryon.
For anyone departing from Canada, Air Canada now will not allow guns that do not have trigger locks ... inside locked gun case. Don't ask ...
