transporting reloading powder from US to Canada

Don't forget that you also cannot transport explosives on many international bridges (e.g. Ambassador in Windsor) or tunnels (e.g. Windsor/Detroit).

It's a good thing that smokeless powder is not an explosive eh.

I believe it is an explosive. I have seen it explode.

The guideline I've used with my 6NIA is "bring back what you brought in (or less)." If you brought a case of ammo down, you can bring a case of ammo back. I can't imagine bringing a bottle of powder down, but maybe you're going to hand load while there - then your consumables can come back with you. (whatever you listed as bringing to the US on the form, can come back)

Check Page 2 of the 6NIA: If you bring down 400 rounds of Vendor-X .308, you can bring 400 rounds of Vendor-X .308 back with you.

Or, put another way, bring your ammo down, but only use it if you can't find any US ammo to shoot while you're there: (Bring 400, buy and shoot ammo in the US, bring your own back). As long as you're not bringing back more than you brought in, you're fine (and match manufacturers, which isn't hard to do).

Now, if you shoot USPSA, IDPA, IPSC, or whatever, odds are you reload. Under manufacturer, I put "hand-reloaded" for the manufacturer. I've had the form approved, no probs.

If you purchase ammo in the US, allowed by your Form 6NIA, and you bring it home, you are in violation of US law. Get caught and you will soon be personna non grata. You can buy it and use it in the US.
