I am NOT shipping lead in flat-rate containers. I have a conscience. d8-)

Bullet mfrs like Berry, XTreme,Meister, etc routinely ship (lead)
bullets in flat rate boxes. An order of 2000 220-grain (.45ACP)
bullets is about 62.8 lb plus packaging materials.

What do they do about the prohibition on shipping live ammunition via
USPS?

Someone here just failed Reading Comprehension 101...

More like sentence construction. It would have been far more clear to
state "ammunition components", or "bullets for reloading".


He's talking raw or bare bullets, not finished live ammunition. A
conical or truncated chunk of lead and possibly a copper jacket, with
a swage on the blunt end where it seats in the case. Nothing to go
bang.

The bullets and empty cases, no problem. Primers and powder, now you
can start talking about shipping Hazardous Materials.

Yes, then that would be fine.
