I've brought projectiles back a number of times and a bunch of reloading gear. Never had any problems leaving or with NZ customs. All fully declared. The only thing you can't transport is live ammo due to the powder being a Dangerous good. Components are fine if they aren't DG. I usually get my stuff through MidwayUSA
Good luck

Exports are not classified exports when they are gifts - Legal gifts - Outside the perameters of militery spec munitions.

I can not find any legal writ preventing such an item being transport out of the US.

If anyone can provide me with the writ I will gladly retract my interpretation.

But, seeing is that no-one has been able to supply this info in any blog or govt site that I have searched, I suspect that I am right in that projectile checked luggage, leaving the US, as gifts, within the terms of any US documented policy is legal. The US just don't state it.

Read my posting (#15).
Have never been called back from the departure area to " explain". TSA don't seem to care once they see they're just projectiles.

Small_caliber. What did happen to you at the airport?

I ask this because, as per the original thread, we are only talking about checked luggage.

Avoid tracers. Just saying.

I know someone who sent a parcel by post with projectiles & cleaning brushes in it, when it arrived in NZ the only thing in the box was the brushes and a note saying that projectiles are a restricted item and require an export permit. Had the same thing happen with a couple of barrel blanks..............expensive lessons.



You are allowed to carry up to (I think) 5kg of loaded ammo in checked luggage.

What happened when you got pulled up in TSA with projectiles? Because I only wish to know about checked luggage. I have no interest in posting stuff.
Thanks
