Im curious about going through teh mail though
Flat rate shipping is the only way that is reasonable to ship bulk to Alaska

Have some spares you would part with?




I made the mistake of firing tracer once. at an 800 yard range. While  the range was hot (active). The tracer hit the 800yd berm, ignited, and proceeded to start a grass fire.



I did the same thing once with 223.  Was shooting 300M range.  Shoot, shoot, whats that, smoke, WTF.  There was still a foot of snow on the range but the face of teh back stop had melted and the dry vegetation had ignited.  Wasnt much of a problem except for the dead spruce trees nearby.  Im not sure Ive ever run as fast as I did.

Just to make sure that this has been settled. If the bullet has any compounds that can start a fire or explode. It is a Hazmat item. So only ball type of projectile would be considered safe for shipping USPS in a flat rate package.

So API, APIT or just plain tracer would need to go UPS, FEDEX or DHL and a 20 buck hazmat fee will need to be paid on top of the shipping cost.
