I first learned of Prop 65 when I got a radio control servo with a Prop 65 sticker on it. "Warning, if you let a pregnant woman eat this device it might cause birth defects" So I looked it up on the net, and everything with lead solder in it had to carry the sticker if you sold it in CA. What's dumber than a California legislator? A California voter. But I'm pretty sure lead bullets don't have to ship as hazmat, as long as any that pass through CA have the Prop 65 warning on them. Completed cartridges have long been ORM-D materials, and gunpowder and primers have long been hazmat. IIRC, UPS demands you ship hazmat primers and hazmat powder separately so they can charge you two $25 hazmat fees. A couple weeks ago, Brownell's had a one day special, free shipping and free hazmat on $150 orders. I found out about it as I was getting ready to go to bed and was NOT prepared to order a bunch of powder and primers. If I'd know in advance I would have inventoried my supplies and put in a big order to take advantage of that deal.
