[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2448575, member: 30902"] No, it's certainly not a cop out it's simply being practical. If you do all of your hunting close to home it's not that big of a deal but many a dream hunt where people had to travel to the location has been seriously screwed up when something unexpected happened to their ammo. If you're flying its a really big concern because while airlines tend to pay real close attention to the handling of firearms cases, your ammo which has to ship in another separate case doesn't get the same level of attention and can just as easily be lost as your suitcase full of clothes. May years ago my dad and best friend made a trip to colorado for a deep in Elk hunt. On morning one one of the pack animals got into a panic crossing a river and lost it's load. They manage to recover dad's ammo box after a few hours but all of it was ruined. Thankfully a store down the road a few miles had both 7RM and 30-06 in stock. That little screw up cost them a half a day but it could have literaly ended their hunt if he was shooting a rare obsolete/orphaned cartridge or a wildcat. [/QUOTE]
