    Where is the cheapest place to buy brass-cased, non-corrosive ammo for my ar-15 chambered in .223. I dont want any steal cased ammo. I also dont plan on reloading this round. I would like to buy half a case or a full case. FMJ or SP. Thanks for your time and help.

    ammo doesn't have to go through an FFL, but if you want to cover your own behind, get proof of age (Drivers liscense, or some kind of ID)

    I'd just send it to them. Unless your a store and keep records filed, just ask them if its legal for them to have it. If they say yes, then you've done your part and its no longer on your sholders, cause if they aren't they lied.

    If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

    Some states require that the buyer of any ammo that (can be used in a handgun) be at least 21 years old. Just to cover your backside I would require age verification of 21.

    If I knew then, what I know now.

    The cartridges aren't well defined between handgun and rifle ammunition. There are handguns that fire rifle cartridges and vise versa. Therefore you can always say you sold it under the impression that it was intended to be fired thru a rifle.

    If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

    I may not know beans about this, but it has been my strong
    belief that shipping any kind of ammo, powder, or explosives
    of any kind, requires (haz mat) Hazardous Materials label and charges.

    Every time I buy anything like that, I have to pay haz mat.

    rwp - I do quite a bit in this line. I require proof of age (typically a DL copy) & a statement that it is legal for the buyer to receive the ammo involved under the laws of their jurisdiction. I'm not sure exactly what - if any - requirements are truly required by law, but my conditions are designed to address the issue of minimum age (Feds) & local standards. By requiring the statement, I put the burden on the buyer. How the heck am I going to know what special restrictions apply in E. Podunk, XX 00000-9999 and if the person on the other end is not prohibited by law from purchasing / posessing live ammo?

    eric - if you are being charged haz mat for shipments of assembled ammunition, you are being ripped off and need to change suppliers! Ammo is classed as ORM-D (Other Regulated Material - class D) and does not require any special handling beyond being labeled as such. All kinds of products fall into this classification and are shipped routinely throughout the country. For example, body putty for auto repair shops. This is not to say that local shippers, for whatever reason, give sellers a hard time about shipping ammo (and, boy, do I have the scars to prove it!), but it sure as shugar ain't hazmat.

    I believe that at least in TN if the ammo will fit a handgun, it is considered handgun ammo and the 21 years of age rule applies.

    Then all ammo would be considered handgun ammo.

    If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

    Lee, if you are thinking in terms of the Contender & similar special firearms which can be chambered in a variety of (nominally) rifle cartridges, you are largely correct, although I've yet to hear of one chambered in the Weatherby, large metric or British Express calibers, to name some obvious exceptions. OTOH, while I'm not familiar with all the details, some of the excesses of such classifications were eliminated in the reforms of the ammo provisions of GCA'68 and today I believe the criteria is the 'primary usage' such that even though, for example, the .45-70 is chambered in some exotic factory handguns, the cartridge is not considered handgun ammo. And in the most sincere form of flattery, on the regulatory details, "If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.[/]"
