Powder, primers, loaded ammunition, and brass primed with live primers are all forbidden via USPS. Try it yourself. Order a single box of whatever ammo you care to from whatever vendor you care to. Explain to them that you don't have a street address, that UPS and FedEx won't deliver to your home, and that it MUST be mailed via USPS. See what they say. Or just go down to your local Post Office to mail your box of ammo and when the clerk asks you, "Is there anything liquid, fragile, hazardous, or perishable in there?", just say, "Nope. Just a box of loaded ammunition." and see what happens. Loaded ammo is only hazardous in a firearm. You're a special kind of stupid, aren't you?
Oh, and believe it or not, deer bite. Fairly hard.

Stupid is stupid does, since your so [bleep] smart what does the USPS do to you if they catch you shipping ammo?

Good video, it certainly dispels some myths.

I don't work for the USPS, so I couldn't tell you what thier procedure is. Nor do I care, because I'm not stupid enough to commit a federal offense by blatantly breaking the law, lying, and shipping ammo using them because I'm to cheap to ship it the legal way, and then bragging about it. You said it yourself, stupid is a stupid does.
P.S. Excellent video, watched it several times during some work related training. A lot of good info there.

The five stages of ignorance re: every forum thread concerning shipping vs mailing or hazmat: 1 - Disbelief (Whaaaa???) 2 - Denial (No WAY!) 3 - Rebellion (I'm gonna' do it (or "have done it") anyway!) 4 - Name calling (You so-n-so's don't have a freakin' clue!) 5 - Belated support ({Ignorant poster} is right - everyone else is wrong!) 6 - Invocation of past "expert" poster (If Bricktop were only here.....) Yeah - wait for it.

bricktop said .. there I just had to do it.... 
Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have.
When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it.
PAYPAL, sucks and I will never use them again. I recommend you do the same.

Don't ship ammo or other Haz-Mat with USPS... just do not do it!
However if shipping bottom metal, pills, brass try this (I just ran this scenario for another guy and figured I would share).
--------------------
I ran two scenarios (used #14 as a test weight):
I used Virginia to California and Virginia to Virginia (2 hours away by car) because it was easier for me with my existing USPS "Address Book".
Virginia to California:
Priority Mail® Large Flat Rate Box
Type 1) 23-11/16" x 11-3/4" x 3"
Type 2) 12 1/4" x 12 1/4" x 6"
March 5, 2016 // 2-Day Delivery $18.75
Priority Mail® Regional Rate Box B
Type 1) Side Loading: 16-1/4" x 14-1/2" x 3"
Type 1) Top Loading: 12-1/4" x 10-1/2" x 5-1/2"
March 5, 2016 // 2-Day Delivery $17.09
Save $1.60... mehh
Virginia to Virgina:
Priority Mail® Large Flat Rate Box
Type 1) 23-11/16" x 11-3/4" x 3"
Type 2) 12 1/4" x 12 1/4" x 6"
March 5, 2016 // 2-Day Delivery $18.75
Priority Mail® Regional Rate Box B
Type 1) Side Loading: 16-1/4" x 14-1/2" x 3"
Type 1) Top Loading: 12-1/4" x 10-1/2" x 5-1/2"
March 5, 2016 // 2-Day Delivery $6.71
Save $12.04... worth it IMHO
Regional Rate boxes have to be order online from the USPS. The actual local Post Office (where you drive your car) does not offer them... a conspiracy? Not really, just all about the $$$.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
