Greetings. I am looking for info about some brass that I got in a trade. It is 30-06 brass with a head stamp of SL53. It is primed with a rounded cup primer which is crimped. The guy I got them from says they were all from pulled down AP rounds. He said it is popular with guys who shoot Garands. Well, I have neither a Garand nor a 30-06 so I'm looking for advice on whether this is good brass and what I should realistically expect for a selling price. Next question is about shipping. Is it legal to ship primed cases without incurring a hazmat fee? If not, I'll end up having to decap them all before I can ship them. I decapped a couple of them and polished up the head for easier viewing. I'm having trouble posting pics from my computer so I will add them from my phone in a minute. Thanks for looking!!

"SL" is St. Louis Ordnance Plant. According to wikipedia, it was only made 1941 - 1945. I'm thin-kin wikinoogies didn't get the memo...
