I have always been told to keep the ammo in the manufacurers box if possible and then put the ammo in a locked box in my luggage..then let the airlines know--so if it gets checked it has the red/orange tag in there showing it was checked and cleared..

As I reload, I usually still put my reloads in a factory box...that is the same caliber..--if the ammo box, the actual ammo and the gun all match, can't see where the problems would be..

As to the plastic bag...what the hell is that going to do.???
