The Canadian customs brochures are only concerned with advising people as to Canadian laws. If you want to learn about US export regulations, you need to contact the US authorities.
You can under the authority of an approved ATF form6NIA in the amounts listed on the permit.
Any firearms listed on the permit and any unused ammo must accompany the permittee back to canada.
I will be contacting the US authoritys.....for people that are unaware like myself can be in some serious trouble by the sounds of things......99% of people that are unfamiliar with US rules regarding ammo importation will just go by the canada customs brochure.......I can't believe our own people would let us think we are good to go with 5000 rounds per person without even writing something in fine print like "see US export law" or something geez what a joke
The questions you should ask yourself are the following.
If you are put in separate rooms and questioned will both your stories hold water?
Will his purchase history vs your previous trips look suspicious?
Will your emails and text messages incriminate you or him?
How much do you have to lose?
How much does he have to lose?

Anything with an asterisk is considered "significant military equipment "
Cliff notes
Category I—Firearms, Close Assault Weapons and Combat Shotguns
*(a) Nonautomatic and semi-automatic firearms to caliber .50 inclusive (12.7 mm)
Category III—Ammunition/Ordnance
*(a) Ammunition/ordnance for the articles in Categories I and II of this section
In other words even 22LR for your Ruger 10-22 is considered significant military equipment.

Perhaps they expect people to look into the laws in foreign countries that they choose to visit. It's not like the Canadian government is aware of which countries that you might visit. What do you expect them to do, supply a complete list of laws and regulations for each and every country in the world, in case you decide to visit that country?

I asked on the Canadian side a week ago about guns and ammo. They said it's fine. If it's legal here . It's just the u.s. stores that are not supposed to sell to Canadians. But if they do the canadian side has no issues. They just want that duty money
We have been through this one before years ago and many times after but it clearly didnot change some. Just a matter of time before one gets hit rolling the dice taking ammo back from the US without the proper paperwork

My wife and I took 6,500 rds down with us to Phoenix last year as we shot matches every weekend for the 7 weeks we were there. No limit that I know of, just one word of advice, if your firearms are tailored to specific loads, take more than you need. Last year for one match the Match Director cranked up the round count 2 weeks before the match and my Form 6NIA had been submitted 4 months prior listing the ammo that I wanted to take based on the initial match copy. So now if the match copy says I need 1,000 rds of .45acp, my Form 6 NIA is submitted for 3,000 rds of .45acp
About time that "illegal aliens" were prohibited from purchasing guns or ammo. That oughta cut down the crime rate a a bunch....
Here is the 2012 revision stating that non immigrant aliens not requiring a visa are exempt

I guess you must listen to FOX NewsAbout time that "illegal aliens" were prohibited from purchasing guns or ammo. That oughta cut down the crime rate a a bunch....
Do you have any data to support your position or did Donald Trump say so?
http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-mythical-connection-between-immigrants-and-crime-1436916798
"A new report from the Immigration Policy Center notes that while the illegal immigrant population in the U.S. more than tripled between 1990 and 2013 to more than 11.2 million, “FBI data indicate that the violent crime rate declined 48%—which included falling rates of aggravated assault, robbery, rape, and murder. Likewise, the property crime rate fell 41%, including declining rates of motor vehicle theft, larceny/robbery, and burglary.”
I think that Ted Cruz is the GOP's best chance.
Since I have a roughly 0% success rate at predicting elections, I can't argue that.
The PDF file you referenced deals with Non Immigrant Aliens with a Visa, with residency conditions. Canadians do not require VISA, I stand by my posting https://www.atf.gov/file/56441/download We DO NOT use the BATF Form 4473 but the Form 5330.3D
