Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Easy answer , there is only one choice , UPS. Correct me if I am wrong , but I don't think FedEx ships ammo , and for sure Post office does not. Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I know this sounds like a smart-A$$ answer, but my intentions are sincere. If he is a good friend and don't live VERY far away, make arrangements for both of you to travel half-way, meet up for a meal, and give him the ammo. For a good friend, it might be nice to see him again. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Ammo shipping is a pita. I’d have to drive 75 miles to the UPS hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Loaded ammo must be shipped ground only. I used UPS. You must ship from a UPS hub, not a UPS Store or the like. It must be securely packaged and have the HazMat diamond w/black tips decal (or can be colored in with crayon). There is no HazMat fee but it must have the designation. It's not cheap but really isn't prohibitively expensive. Take you credit card with you as they weren't accepting cash about 2 - 3 months ago due to Covid. Keep in mind that some states, CA for one, do not allow ammo to enter the state from a private seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 Howdy, I would love to meet him halfway. Probably custer battlefield. and ups is handy. Im just afraid of the price. I might just let him get some off of gb. They list over 700 hits on 22 high speed. And a lot of them list multiple available ........ Best CR maybe this shortage wont last much longer.
