Thumbs down Packaging FAIL
I picked up a .30 caliber cleaning kit and the guy also had 500 .223 bullets at a decent price. Sent the USPS money order and when it was received, he mailed the box.

It finally arrived and it was a little "noisier" than it should have been.

I opened the mailing box , removed the bubble pack and was greeted by this

I weighed what was left of the bullets ( 55 grain ) and calculated there was 458 bullets left in the box from the original 500.

He's sending another 42 bullets but a simple piece of tape or rubber band around the box would have prevented this mess.

So I’m walking down the road, and it’s like Hansel and Gretl, a little trail of 223 bullets!! Magical!

Before Comifornia law stopped on-line ammo purchases I Bulked up on my stash. I chuckled about every other day watching our 60+yr old mail lady lugging a 40lb box up to the door (of course if I was home I'd get it for her)
