I certainly wouldn't want that on my airplane. Potentially live, unstable ammunition is bad news.
I'm not an expert, but anything ballistics and airplanes don't mix very well. Ammunition has to be in a certified box.
There is an actual statistic available in France regarding the amount of farmer deaths per year as a result of hitting live ordinance with a plow.
Now, if it just bullet casings or bomb fragments or whatever then I would say be careful and don't be surprised if you get asked about it.

Ammunition is stable and can be transported in checked luggage by both Air Canada and WestJet. The only rule is a weight limit of 11lbs, no need for a special container outside of the original box it came in. Since OP is talking about bullets only, there is no special requirement for transporting them by plane outside of bio-security measures and zero risk to the plane.
Even if you burn it, the cases will simply burst. The projectiles won't fire off wildly since there is no barrel or chamber present to direct and contain the gases. Your example talks about live explosives, not ammunition.
