I had a devil of a time once, trying to mail a box of Nosler's to a friend. The lady clerk at the Post office said they couldn't mail "bullets". I said, ma'am, yes you can. You can't mail "cartridges", but, she said, "it says bullets right on the box". I said yes ma'am, that's the part the 'cartridge'" shoots out the barrel, its just copper and lead". After she checked with the Manager, she mailed them. wow.
I’ve had the exact same thing happen.
