Bulk pack (loose) in the box is not permitted, per FAA regs. Only ammo in factory containers where the rounds are individually secured are allowed. If you flew with bulk pack loose ammo in your luggage and got away with it, consider yourself lucky.

According to this site:

it doesn't say anything about bulk ammo. It says it has to be securely packed in fiber, wood, or metal boxes which are specifically designed to carry ammo. I'd say that factory boxes are, in fact, designed to carry ammo. Is there some other info or regulations elsewhere that specifically prohibits bulk???
Whats this "full shelf" you speak of, all i see is a large display case to hold large amounts shotgun shells and some 243 win.
good to hear ammo is becoming available in other states.
that surely means it'll be our turn soon.

After doing some research, I stand corrected. I had been led to believe that the rounds had to individually secured, they do not. Loose in the box bulk pack .22 ammo is allowed, so long as it remains in the original manufacturers box.
Individual airline rules that are more stringent than the FAA 11 pound limit still apply. Check with your air carrier before transporting ammo.
