Can I mail civil war bullets within USA?(no gunpowder,just shells that are heavy like lead.)?
I wanted to send a few civil war bullets to my cousin's boy, but not sure if it's allowed. Which service is the best to use if any will send them?
My grandfather gave them to me when I was a child. His father died in the civil war, and he had a hand full of old bullets in a tobacco can.

As you said they are essentially balls of lead. Provided there is no explosive powder with them just send them USPS or what ever is cheaper.

The biggest problem you'd run into (if anyone knew) would be where and how you got those lead balls- and if they were historically significant at all.
@Wane- Bullets are the front part of the round. They had few brass casings in the War Between the States.

No Postal restriction with regards posting these in the U.S.A.

I recieved a full case of .45 rounds to deliver when I had Fed/Ex ground contracts. A couple of brass shells are not haz/mat. {Put em in the small flat rate USPS box and away they go. Liquids are more a problem than ammo in shipping. Check the restrictions pages on Fed/Ex Ground, UPS and USPS. You will find nothing about brass casings.
