Marlin Buckhorn,SASS 51727 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Can anybody tell me how many pieces of 38 special brass will fit in a USPS large flat rate box? How about a medium flat rate box? Thanks in advance for your help, Marlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Best to put it in a heavy bag inside the flat rate box, in case the box tears. That way, you don't lose any brass. --Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preacherman Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 2,000 will fit nicely in a medium box. I know as I sold a bunch years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One showed up pristine the other completely empty! Had a corner smashed and open not one case in the package! Would have thought someone would notice 2K brass on the floor! USPS said they received it that way but with no internal bag to contain anything in the event of damage,’no recourse. Could not prove what had been in the package so no claim for recompense. Out 2K brass! Regards Gateway Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Badly Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 FYI- completely tape up the outside of the box with clear packaging tape. That's how I get bullets shipped to me. No losses yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlin Buckhorn,SASS 51727 Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 Thanks for the responses. Planned on a plastic bag liner plus bagged individual lots of specific head stamped brass. I think I will stick with the midsize boxes instead of large. Thanks Preacherman, now I know how many boxes I need. And I am pretty sure the weight limit is 70 lbs like the Gateway Kid said. Thanks again for everybody's help, Marlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancy Shot, SASS #67163 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 From the USPS website: Weight, Size, & Shape Requirements Use USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate packaging and pay one price: Pay the same price for mailpieces weighing up to 70 lbs going anywhere in the U.S. Use our Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelopes or Boxes that come in standard sizes so you don't have to worry about measuring them. When sealing a Flat Rate Envelope or Box, the container flaps must be able to close within the normal folds. Come down for a match next month and bring Wapsi with you. Haven't seen you in a while.

Howlin Mad Murdock SASS #4037 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 It is physically impossible to exceed the weight limit of flat rate boxes with empty brass cases. A solid brass block the size of the box will not exceed the weight limit either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
