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 think you're good to go, under Exemptions 4(c) and (d) and Chart Item (3), columns 1 and 2. Might not hurt to bring a printed copy of those website pages with you, jic. There might be CBSA staff at the primary inspection that are new, or filling in for someone on vacation, and they might be unfamiliar with the rules and regs.

Interesting to note, farther down, in that, according to this memo,
"Presentation of a Canadian Firearms Licence is not necessary to import ammunition." So, you can bring some into Canada without a PAL, but you can't buy it, once here, without one?
I've declared ammo importation before at the border, and usually just get a nod or shrug or "anything else to declare?". The signs suggest "please declare all firearms and weapons". That's it.
