I'm in the early planning stages of a hunt in Alaska and got to thinking that I know absolutely nothing about transporting my rifle on an airline. Is there a "standard" procedure that must be followed or do different airline companies have individual policies? If it is a standard procedure, could someone give me a synopsis of what I must do. What about ammo. I prefer handloading my own ammo. What are the regulations or procedures for that? Any information to get me started in the right direction would be a great help and very much appreciated. Thanks for any and all replies.
