[QUOTE="gillettehunter, post: 2452499, member: 25760"] Ammo cannot be in same bag as the firearm. Been that way for years. Limit is 5 kilos. That is essentially 11 lbs. If you're close to the limit make them weigh it without the case. The regs state 5 kilos of ammo. Make sure the ammo is ina case where the cartridges can't contact one another. If you're going through or to RSA you may be required to remove your ammo from your other checked bag and check the ammo box separately. Had it happen a couple of times. If hunting RSA you need the following documents: 4457 from customs dated less than 6 months prior to hunt letter of invitation from your outfitter copy of you airline flight schedule so they know when your leaving address of the farm/concession your hunting SAPS 520 form filled out in BLACK ink and not signed until it can be witnessed by the police in RSA They will also want to see your passport. The police will issue you a temporary permit. Keep it because they want to see it when you leave. If you transport beyond Joberg VIA SAA in RSA they will charge a fee for your rifle. Around $60 as I recall. There are a couple of companies that provide pre approved permits. Can be helpful if you have concerns about filling out the paperwork. Bruce [/QUOTE]
