Or in the discussion section; I have several rounds of 300 Win Mag ammo that I inherited from my cousin. I do not have a 300 nor do I intend to get one. My question is; what is the rules for shipping primed ammo? I have no idea what the charge weight would be or what powder is used. I plan on pulling the bullets from the brass and dumping the powder in maw's flower garden. I see no need to waste the primers, and besides I don't like to deprime live primers anyway. I also have a pretty large amount of fired brass. I do not know how many times any of the brass has been loaded or fired. How is the best way to sell this 20, 50, or 100 at a time. I think all together there will be over 200 pieces. I will also have some, 220 swift brass, that I don't need either. I have a 22-250 already and don't need a 220 just because I have some brass (although that is a good excuse). Could you guys give me some guidence on selling and shipping the brass and bullets.
Mr. Murl

I am not going to try to sell this as ammo! This is reloaded ammo and I do not have any idea of the charge that is in them. I will pull the bullets and dump the powder. "I hate to waste powder, but have no idea of what the powder is". I don't want to try to sell this for the liability of it. I don't want someone blowing up a gun that may not have the same strength as his did. I will pull the bullets with a collet and try to salvage them as well. If you need 300 Win Mag brass and/or bullets let me know. The fired stuff I will throw in the tumbler for a while and clean it up. This was all fired from the same gun and my guess is it is twice fired. What is it worth and what are the bullets worth?

Once you have the bullets pulled, you could weigh them, then compare the pulled with photos from the different bullet outfits and guesstimate who's bullets they might be. The powder and primers would be much more difficult to ascertain both mfr. and if "magnum", benchrest, or "normal". Non-deteriorated powder is still a highly flammable solid, and thus capable of creating a large, hot fire if ignited. Dumping in Ma's flower garden *would* be a benefit to her IF you could deactivate it so it's no longer "flammable". Decapping live primers isn't a good idea. Too bad you don't have a chamber that may allow you to fire them off safely, ie a .338 win mag to fire off 300 win mag's. I see where you are going, don't want to see "good" items wasted; the logistics are the sticking point. With the unknowns, you're best option is focusing on just the bullets and bare brass, which looks like where you are aiming. Good luck
