I had all of my rem mag AMAX rounds confiscated... My pouch wasn't acceptable.

With these new said rules, how would I go about transporting them the next time? Would one of those green hardlid cases be acceptable?

There are a lot of regular travellers on this forum for competition shooting and hunting.

Just flew back from one yesterday with a heap of forum members.
When you get asked if your ammo is in original packaging you always say yes.

You are allowed 5kgs in your checkin luggage on both international and national flights.
After all. What is original packaging for ammunition you constructed yourself?
