It is legal to cross the boarder with up to 5000 rounds at a time. The stores in the US are not allowed to sell it to Canadian citizens but many will, mostly the hardware type stores not the big sporting stores though. If you happened to get stopped and checked before you made it to the border you could potentially lose the ammo but that is unlikely. When you get to the Canadian boarder the boarder guards will tell you that the Americans were not allowed to sell it to you but you have not broken any Canadian laws so you will just have to pay the duty. Once you are at the Canadian boarder they can not confiscate any of your ammo as long as you have no more than 5000 rounds. I am not sure about how much you could bring duty free, I think that just depends on the same dollar amount for any merchandise you bring across and that is determined by how long your visit is. ie 3 days would be $400 worth duty free and so on, it is still worth it even if you have to pay the duty in my opinion. (just a hint don't tell the clerk at the store you are a Canadian) lol
