Ammo OK?
I'm having my firearm shipped to AK and the US licensed gun dealer says there should be no problem taking my ammo across the Canadian border but I want to make sure.

- You are allowed to take 200 rounds of hunting ammo or 1500 rounds of ammo for a recognized shooting competition. Any amount over this will require a tax be paid. Also note that magazines that hold over five rounds for long guns, or ten rounds for handguns are normally forbidden (there are some exceptions).

None of the regulations that I've examined prohibit "hollow point ammo".
Jim - Everything I've heard points at them being extra paranoid about guns.

Just so long as you are OK with the Canadian Customs tearing your stuff apart looking for the missing guns.- Don't take hollow point ammo. One person I was talking to shipped his gun and went with just the ammo. He had a couple of boxes and it cost him something around $1 per bullet and a lot of hassle. He said they considered hollow points to be war or military related and therefore forbidden. Buy a box of ammo when you get to Alaska if you can't do with out it.
