Can I ship primed cases the same as unprimed or fired cases, or is special shipping required? Would I be better off de-priming?
I have been dithering for a long time about some rifle reloads that I inherited. It was intended that I would get the rifles, but they “disappeared”. So I have these reloads with nothing to shoot them in.
The oldest were loaded in 1955 the latest in 1975. Recognizing that others would not want to shoot them as is, yesterday I started to pull bullets and dump powder. I have fired some 30-06 reloads from the same source and same age, they were fine.
I was going to kill the primers and de-prime the cases when it occurred to me that these are good and at this point very scarce primers.
My intention is to put them in the classifieds and hopefully trade them for 44spl or 10mm cases, which I can use.

What I have is some each of .257 Roberts, .270 Win, 7X57 Mauser, 30/40 Krag, 35 Whelen, & .375 H&H.

I would think that primed cases would ship without a hazmat fee just like loaded ammo. Loaded ammo can be shipped with an ORM-D label. Do a google search for "shipping ammunition".
 
'tbury' has it,,Primed cases ship the same as loaded ammo. NO HazMat fee,, mark the package as ORM-D. As with loaded ammo, cannot go USPO.
