    Flew down to the Toby shoot last month with Air NZ checked rifle through with bolt in the top of my pack and ammo in checked luggage, same pack as bolt. Rifle in hard case with padlock. Under 5kg of ammo and everything separate. No worries.

    This is the ammo box used.

    PS...although declared it was treated as normal checked luggage so without a firearm didn't need a special tag and to collect the other end from airnz counter.

    Always keep a few old original cardboard packets for this. I have grendel in some 6PPC boxes and 303 in 7mm08 box the other day - dare someone to say it wasn't original ! To avoid problems I made sure the total weight of ammo and its box was just under 5kg in case they went on gross weight. I've had a mate get loose empty brass confiscated so put that in "original packaging" too. It's a game and you can win.

    Ammo a nod bolt dont seem to need locking up but I try to usually like in a black cash box.

    About guns in locked case, I've tried putting the 7kg case inside a big bag to make the most of a 23kg allowance and also strapped two cases together at 22.5kg and got away with it but was touch and go so my plan will be to check a simple case only and pay for an extra one if needed. Now I've got a big rifle case that will fit a couple of bags of venison as well as the gun.

    Travelled myself again today - simple <5kg ammo (original packets)
    In checked luggage, rifles in a case (need to sort a bag around them as wasted 23kg allowance)

    No issues, Auckland, Wellington, Napier

    The one good thing about jetstar is you get a baggage weight allowance, eg 23kg can be made up of 3 different bags. Makes it significantly cheaper when flying with guns etc
