Title: anybody need 7.65 Argentine Mauser or 6.5 Swede
Post by: Major 2 on April 24, 2021, 03:55:07 PM

ran across some 7.65 Argentine ( 40 rds )   and 6.5 Swede Mauser

at my LGS ... I have no Guns chambered as such , but maybe some one here does 

It's cheap ..  though I can't ship live ammo , I can pull the bullets and ship the primed Brass   :-\

I was checking on sending primed brass,  and it is prohibited through the USPS.  UPS will ship properly packaged live ammo with a HazMat sticker/charge.

It may not be worth the trouble  :-X

I figure I'd get it , if someone needed it bad   

and maybe trade it for Brass I could use  :-\

I have rifles for both, but have plenty of brass and components on hand for them.

Major, what are you asking for the Argentine ammo? How many rounds?

The bargain grab basket price is $5 for a box of 20 and there are 2 boxes I think.

However, I will not be in the FFL till Saturday and I have no idea if its still there

Nor do I know what the shipping w/ the ORD label  cost or if I can even ship it  :-\

With shipping it may not be worth the hassle

Shipping is the easy part, instructions are here: https://www.ups.com/us/en/help-center/packaging-and-supplies/special-care-shipments/hazardous-materials/shipping-ammunition.page

In practice, I print the label (not ORM-D now, but very similar) on white paper, tape it to the box, and write the address info etc on the label.  Only problem is you have to go to a UPS "hub" rather than one of their drop-in centers in Kinkos or whatever.  Cost to ship 200 rounds of 45 acp was ~$18.
