Jnichols2, I believe that Aguila is correct. Disregard the recent NY gun control hysteria. I cannot find any current or upcoming NY statute that restricts the transport of ordinary sporting rifle ammo in the absence of a gun that can fire it. Some exotic so-called armor piercing rounds are illegal to possess in NY, but AFAIK such ammo is equally (or more!) illegal in Canada, and is virtually non-existent in. 300 Savage regardless.

Since my first post, I have verified that the NY ammo purchase background check requirements do not go into effect until January 15, 2014.
