That is as long as national rules permits carriage of ammunition.

I actually had a fair bit of bother to pick up 270 ammo in the Czech Rep a few years ago, had to get a friend of ours to send it from France to the outfitter in CZ.

I've always used the car instead of air transport, when travelling for hunting/stalking (unfortunately few times); I find air companies overweight fares ridiculously high and I like to bring along a lot of stuff. That EU rule (if correct) will enforce my opinion.

One can´t bloody well drive a car to Africa for a 14 days safari.
And for me driving my car 900 km to catch a ferry to Newcastle to attend a UK/Scotland stalking weekend is out of the question.
Air transport is the only option, sadly but true.

Expand on that one a bit Brian.
We [us in the South] don,t have a problem taking ammo through Dublin airport.Well no more than any other airport.The checkin staff havent a bulls notion about air transport of firearms.Usually I print off the advisories from Aer Lingus,website and show them that.
Going back 10 years I used to pack a box of 20 in a pair of socks,place them inside my boots and pack them in my rucksack.
Now we have to put the ammo in locked containers and check them in but no real grief.

I have to say that Dublin is one of the easier airports to carry firearms through, I have always found it to be quick and easy. The other best one is Frankfurt. The London airports are a total nightmare. Some of the Eastern European airports are getting to be a pain also. The check in staff at Zagreb tried to extort excess baggage fees of the guys last year, even though these had already been paid for.

Angus, when travelling through Dublin I have to apply for a temporary "permit to pass through the state", this is very easy to get, the Dept of Justice in Dublin will send me one based on a phone call, they are great. The only problem is that the temporary ticket applies to the rifle only, specifically does not extend to ammo, I just cannot bring ammo with this ticket.
