Flying on Delta to Joburg. Can I check in with delta and have my ammo in my gun case with my rifle?

When leaving Joburg for Zim I want to pack my ammo in a locked Pelican 1200 and check it in along with my gun case (containing rifle only).

Everything else I want to carry on.

1. Ask Delta
2. No problem
3. Traveling a bit light?

It is OK with TSA if it is OK with Delta

Trying to.

I want to check only the gun case and walk on with my carry-on bag and "personal item"

I took way too much stuff last time. This time I am trying to go minimalist.

Yes..

Been there done that..

But the reverse is true for return.. African carrier's want your ammo locked, in your check in baggage..

I don't plan on bringing any ammo back.

Allan,

If you used Gracy call them and ask what Delta is currently requiring.

I have been hasseled in Tanzania and Zim for departures without brass and ammo for the rifles I was returning home with.

I went into Zimbabwe with 60 rounds of 375HH two weeks ago and returned without it two days ago. They asked whare it was. Told them I shot all of it. They gave me an evil eye in the Bulawayo airport, but thats all that happened.

Tell the scum suckers that your scope was off & you shot all of your ammo trying to resight it.
Then had to borrow a rifle from your P.H. to hunt with.
After 3 trips, I haven't brought a round home yet.

Hi,

No! You cannot carry your ammo in your gun case with the firearm. I checked with delta today.

Adrian
