Alpo Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Someone in another state, 1000 or more miles away, wants a particular cartridge. Just one. They wanted to fill a hole in their cartridge collection. You have the cartridge. Would you send it to them? If so, how? Mailing it is Illegal. The only legal way is common carrier, with an ORM-D label. I figured that would probably cost about ten bucks. To give a cartridge to a guy in Texas. So I just put the cartridge back in the container and put it back on the shelf. I feel for the guy, but I don't think it is worth the hassle. What would you do?

Dude Slade Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I would wrap and pad the hell out of it, put it in a small flat rate box, and send it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Make the round inert and then it can legally be mailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 What's $10.00? If it was a fellow SASS shooter or a friend, I'd mail it to them legal like. If it was someone I didn't know or a non SASS person, I'd ask them for the cost of legal postage. Although the chances of getting caught improperly mailing it are slim, I wouldn't take any chances. To me, it's just not worth it. If they want it bad enough, they'll compensate you for postage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 If the person agrees, just pull the bullet, dump the powder, pop the primer then reseat the bullet and send it. If he/she still wants it in a live state then they're going to need to mail me Alex Hamilton's face first. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 For a SASS Shooter, I would simply put it in my car, and drive the thousand miles immediately so that their collection could be filled at no charge. Getting me to leave, however, is going to be expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I would mail it to them. I would wrap it in bubble wrap, wrap the bubble wrap in packing tape, put it in a small box, tape the bejesus out of it and mail it. Yes, I know that’s illegal. It’s not like I illegally tampered with an election or bumped off somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 For those that would mail a live round via USPS have you considered that if you get caught you could go to jail and possibly loose your 2A rights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Difficult to make one of these suckers inert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOOTIN FOX Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 First, do-not talk about it on an open forum. Second, wrap it, ship it, shut up about it. Remember shipping USPS is illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must have come from a different batch. All the brass ones have a head stamp that says "something F" (can't make it out). That one copper one has an acorn.
