Why not just take 15 mins to nail together a plywood ammo box for the trip and not worry about it?
Not understanding the need for an ammo box...just thrown the box of factory ammo in your checked bag. If you reload just throw some shells in a small box.

I have flown with Air Canada Jazz using the boxes that the ammo came in. (Cardboard/plastic)
just curious, what airline?
this is from Air Canada:
Packing instructions
The firearm and the ammunition must not be packed in the same container.
Ammunition must be packed in a separate, secure and strong container made of plastic, wood or metal. The original fibreboard carton can also be used but it’s recommended that the carton be placed in a secondary package such as a re-sealable plastic container.
To avoid shock movement, the properly packaged ammunition must then be placed inside a suitcase and cushioned with clothing
West Jet:
Ammunition must be:
- Securely packaged and packed separately from the firearm, however it is permitted to be transported within the same container.
- Carried in sturdy baggage not weighing more than 5 kg (11 lb.) gross weight per person (excluding ammunition with explosive or incendiary projectiles)
- Packaged in the manufacturer's original container or an equivalent sturdy, durable container that provides sufficient cartridge separation
maybe smaller regional carriers have different rules, but seem odd

Pacific Coast air there's no other company that flies there as far as I know
I hand load and they do not accept any box. I talked to them on the phone and the manager came on and was quite persistent and the manager came on told me plastic ammo boxes will not be accepted they must be fiberboard or wood. Last time I won't flew to the Charlotte's my buddy drove up and took the ferry and he took my firearm and ammo with him
Mike if you need a steel military ammo box let me know

If you cite things that happen in the US of A but live in Canada, then you might be living as an idiot in a great country. ..... clueless
Im heading up late September and am going to pack my ammo in wood box too. Apparently that is the rules with Pacific Coastal.
