hey guys,

can someone tell me what size box flat rate priority shipping box to get from the post office to shipp 1000 rounds...

i have heard guys say there is a certain size that fits them perfect...if anyone has the dimentions it would be a big help...

last, do you guys pad them with bubble wrap or anything, or just throw them in loose and ship 'em?

You can get their flat rate box, but you can't send it USPS. Ammo has to go UPS...ORM-D labeled. I just tape over all USPS labels and send them UPS pick-up.

Unprimed or once fired brass and bullets can go USPS, but not loaded ammo.
The problem is that 1000 rounds of 223 brass may not all fit in a flat rate box.

If you pack it in the more cube sized one you can just about get 2K in it.... takes 2 hands, a knee, and a lot of tape to get it closed properly

Roger that....but 1,500 rounds fits pretty good. Without the extra work. 750 rounds per 1 gallon ziplock. 2 ziplocks per box. A little clear packing tape on the ends...and you are good to go.
