[QUOTE=ithacaartist;280798]How about extra charges levied by the big shippers?

Not sure that I have an answer for that. In the ammo world, complete cartridges only require an Ordnance Sticker(ORD) that one can copy from the internet and apply to the loaded ammo being shipped. USPS will not(I think that I am correct) ship loaded cartridges, but UPS and FedEx will. As to the reloading components, bullets(projectiles) require nothing special, and USPS will ship them, as well as other shippers. The primers, and bulk powder(explosives) require special packing, hazmat stickers, and the shippers charge a "hazmat fee". Whether the shippers actually pay the shipping company a fee or not to ship these items, I can not say. I believe that only a certain poundage of hazmat items are allowed on each truck hauling said products.
USPS will not handle these items, they treat them just like handguns.

That pretty well exhausts my limited knowledge concerning shipping these items, and fees for said items.
