There's an informative article in today's StarAdvertiser about transporting firearms and ammunition entitled, "TSA and airlines have rules for firearms on airplanes".
I don't have a subscription to StarAdvertiser but here's the link for what it's worth: http://www.staradvertiser.com/s?action=login&f=y&id=163005906 (http://www.staradvertiser.com/s?action=login&f=y&id=163005906)
The article includes the Hawaiian Airlines link to the airline's rules and regs.

I wonder if the increasing amount of firearms owners and people recently getting in trouble for these types of crimes are the reason for this article.
I think you can have a certain weight amount for ammo in your checked luggage. Last year when wr went to Vegas my while family carried ammo back. Good laughs watching the faces of the workers when you declare it.

A friend recently brought back 2 long guns, 3 pistols and 50 lbs (!) of ammo from his uncle's estate in CA. I believe he flew on Alaska Airlines and we were both amazed that they allow up to 50 pounds of ammo per person! It pays to double check the airlines' rules and regs when it comes to stuff like that. He also printed out the information and had it on hand when checking in for his flight, which helped.

I brought back a pistol on Alaska Airlines (from Oregon) a couple weeks ago. I declared it at the check in counter and signed the unloaded firearm disclaimer.,then was sent to a oversized baggage area. A TSA agent swabbed the suitcase and sent me on my way. After going through the trouble of printing out the form and writing down all the info on the pistol, it wasn't needed. Nobody even looked at the gun. Overall a simple and almost painless experience.

50lbs? I wished Hawaiian air did that. I would load up everyone's bags when we go Vegas

The law is 5kg max I think. He got lucky!

That's United's policy.
I'll be going to Alaska in September for a carbine class and will have to buy ammo there. I'll also have to see if I can find a good gun shop while I'm there.

Alaska's policy is 50 lbs.
in original packaging
some kind of box/container to prevent accidental discharge

I'm booking Alaska if I have the option.

Is the cheaper cost of ammo there worth paying the extra bag fee for your baggage?

There are some brands and type of ammo that the local shops don't bring in and it's like a $80-100 hazmat fee to ship to Hawaii. So I am thinking of buying some and bringing back with me when I fly in Sept. I will have three free bags on that trip since I upgraded with miles.
