It's been awhile since I've flown but ammunition must be in a separate checked bag than firearms. I have a Pelican 1750 double gun case and it's held up well with airline travel.

Last couple of times I flew, I had to have ammunition in a separate container, but firearm and ammo could be together. Each airline, unfortunately has their own peculiarities, unfortunately. Here is a link to Southwest's current ammunition policy: https://support.southwest.com/helpc...mmunition?clk=HC_Bags_P1462_PackingAmmunition

I didn’t have much trouble flying from PDX or SeaTac to Anchorage every year. Anchorage back was easier than going up, probably do to familiarity with the process. I have run into ammo in separate bag or in the gun box several times. It just kinda depends on the agent I think. It was actually more challenging getting my dogs checked in than getting guns and ammo checked in.
Make sure the gun box and the bag with the ammunition gets a “Must Fly” sticker on it. When I was guiding up there I would put a pistol in a locked box in my checked bag so they had to put a must fly sticker on it.

Typically it just goes in a checked back and in an original Ammunition carrier-the box it came in or a plastic ammo holder that is taped shut.
But each airline does have their own rules and the girl at the check in counter may not be familiar with them! Always check ahead of time and I would print the rules off and keep them with the firearm in case you need to help her out. Always declare firearms before flying. . .

Well, looks like I need another refresher in English grammar.
