With very few exceptions, California doesn’t grandfather equipment into new gun regulations. The presumption is if you possess ammunition/guns that aren’t on prior sale records (IE: out of state purchase), you need to declare and possibly surrender them.
Given that all in-state transactions are recorded (as I mentioned in my prior comment), if any LEO found ammo or guns in your car trunk along a state line, you’re cooked.
Not guaranteed to happen, but certainly not risk free.
Moment you cross the state border back, you gotta declare it, forfeit it, or try to smuggle it. Legislators thought of that, same with importing guns.
Wait… There’s border checks between states or something?

Imports have to through a FFL in most states anyway, but interesting they were able to apply that to ammo too.
