When I was casting lead bullets I used to order alloys from a company who had a shipping deal - All they could fit into a USPS flat rate box. That's knocking at fifty pounds in a box the size of large textbook.

A friend got some for me from a place in AK doing a similar 'if it fits, it ships' deal. Pretty funny seeing all the boxes in his garage - until we had to unpack and stack them.
