Anyone know if there are any restrictions on shipping inert rounds?
I've shipped "dummy Rounds" To Jim at AGW a couple of times for chamber work. No issue, just a piece of brass with a bullet stuck in it.
No restrictions at all, until you run into that "know it all" moron at the post office that doesn't know what "inert" means.

Brass and copper fittings....Quote:

Tell 'em it's a key ring because that's exactly what I have on my key ring. It's an inert .223 round. By the way, if you want to make one, just form a loop in a piece of wire, insert it through an enlarged flash hole in an unprimed case, put a drop of solder or epoxy down the neck and then seat a bullet. Bingo, you have a nifty addition to your key ring.
I don't "tell" the postal clerk anything. I wait for them to ask questions; does the package contain any of the following - yak yak yak? I reply NO............That way - I don't lie to them!
This, and in full compliance with the law.Quote:

Ive thought of soaking in WD40 or something?
A short 50 case necked to 338 would make a nice key chain wouldn't it? lol
WD-40 might work if you soak it for a few days and then remove the anvil and primer compound.Quote:

just looking to ram up a few 38 wad cutters with no powder or primer for my kids "cosplay" gun belt. I've looked at the price to buy them and they are ridiculous.
Thanks guys
I tell usps "machine parts".
