You reminded me of a little misadventure that I had several years ago. (pre-9/11)
I went full time on the road in my first bus. I was very involved in pistol shooting and decided to stock up before I went on the road. I loaded up on brass, powder, bullets & primers and spent many evenings at the reloading bench. I hit the road with over 10k rounds. Including almost 1100 rounds of hollow point ammo. I remember that number because it cost me $4 a round totaling over $4300.
My wife wanted to visit family in Canada so we left all of my guns with friends in Michigan and headed for the Windsor border crossing not thinking a thing about having over 10000 rounds of ammo. RCMP found a loaded magazine in my night stand and asked "what else do you have?" I showed them, they went ape ****. They simply could not understand why I had soo much ammo. Then they discovered that some of it was hollow point. Apparently that was forbidden in Canada.
Eight hours, 1100 rounds and $4300 later I got back on the road. They wanted to take all of my ammo but couldn't figure out what law I was breaking with the target loads and finally gave up.
They beat the hell out of my bus too. Scratched brand new cabinets, damaged cabinet hinges and damaged flooring.
Great fun......
