Re: Match primers versus regular primers
Don't make me laugh. I went all through that crap about "original factory packaging" It turned out those ticket agents don't have a clue what original factory packaging looks like. You should have seen the trouble I went to, scrounging for empty boxes at the range to package my handloads. But they don't look at a headstamp and go; "Whoa, the box says 308, and these are 30'06". In the end, all they care about is that the stuff is in containers, like MTM plastic cases and not loose rounds, mixed with your underwear and socks. Never mind that every agent you talk to on the phone has a different idea.
But, I imagine that Alaska has to have a realistic policy because some people will be in the bush for a very long time. In fact, flying to Cabo, Alaska is very liberal on fishing rod tubes and ice chests, golf clubs and surf boards. At least, they USED to be? Who knows, maybe they don't allow fifty pounds of ammo anymore? You could call them, but the only thing that matters is when you get to the airport and check in. That's the agent you are dealing with and what somebody else told you doesn't mean shit.
