Posting big bore bullets with USA mail system
Does anyone know how much it would cost to post bullets across the USA, both surface and air. I guess from coast to coast would be the most expensive, so take that figure.

Say a box of 350 grainers would be 5 pounds for 100 bullets.

Also, would there be any difficulties in doing this.

Thanks.

Should cost less than $15 Priority Mail. No problem with shipping just component bullets.

You could send it parcel post, but anything over one pound has to be taken to the post office (mail man can't pick up). This regulation was put in place after the first '93 attack on the Wordl Trade Center.

See how effective it is?

So today I sent two packages out via UPS Ground. One was 5 boxes of 6.5mm/125 grain Nosler Partitions.

From New York to Los Angeles, Priority Mail would be $12.18.

Bob,

What would be the lowest cost as compared to Priority Mail. By the way, this is not an exercise to find the cheapest wa to send one box of bullets

Mike, the cheapest way would be parcel post but expect 2-3 weeks delivery since it is trucked. Priority Mail is just that, sent via air, delivery about 3 days.

I received an m44 Russian milsurp a week ago, had been sent on July 2 and I recieved on the 22nd, this was tne pounds and insured for $100 so the total for 3rd class (step above parcel post) was $21.62. The insured fee runs about $1.52 so you are looking aorund $10.00 for parcel. I cannot see a box of bullets running 5 pounds though.
