Ammunition through Canada

I'm a US citizen planning a trip through Canada to the Lower 48 and want to transport some ammunition. I found the following Memorandum in the Canada Border Services Agency website. It tells me I can transport certain quantities of ammunition and describes several prohibited ammo types.

I will be transporting significantly less than the quantities describes in the table in paragraph 4 under "Exemptions".

I just want to be sure I'm reading the Memorandum correctly and that it applies to me.

For what it's worth, my wife and I have travelled from Alaska through Canada and back 10-12 times in the past 10 years with never a problem at the border of either country.

Thanks for your comments.

I agree......YOU can transport up to 5000 rounds of small arms cartridges.
Question I have is WHY do you want to bring the ammunition?
Having the weapons mailed to a US Destination, participating in a competition shoot, etc.

I shoot but I would NOT take the chance of some border agent deciding that with that much ammo I must have weapons hidden somewhere.

I use to go to Mexico for Dove hunting......had to do all the paper work, declare weapons/ammo etc.
One mistake and it was NOT a happy experience.
