Shipping brass that is primed

Colorado Redneck · March 1, 2013, 07:42 PM

Hope this is the correct forum. I sold my 44 mag revolver and have some brass to sell. Some of it is already processed and primed. I read on another thread here in TFL that it is not legal to ship primers or powder without the proper permitt. In no way do I want to violate the law. So the easy way for me to figure out what to do with these cases is to ask the members here:

Should I deprime the cases and sell them as unprimed? Hate to see a couple hundred good large pistol primers go in the trash, but if that is the legal way so be it.

Thanks!

You can ship primed brass by ground. I think you have to label it "ORM-D". You cannot ship just primers (and/or powder) unless you are certified to do so and pay hazmat shipping.

Primed brass is still just brass.

Ship it like you would once-fired brass. (No additional restrictions/requirements.)
