I've flown so many times with firearms without issue. UNLOADED firearms, Pelican case, Master Locks. Even the old TSA instructions were pretty clear to me about having REAL locks, not bullshit TSA locks. Ammo is always hit or miss. San Antonio TX needs to be in some bullshit box within the case (not in magazines, everywhere else I've gone through is OK with it being in magazines as "containers designed to hold ammunition".
But, be on the safe side, have your ammo in either a factory cardboard box or reloading box thats not bouncing around inside the case and you should be fine.
Just fucking read. Its nothing meant to trick you or stump you.
"You may use any brand lock, including TSA-recognized locks"
I've used Master Lock for years and never had an issue.
