This is being driven by the ubiquity of lightweight level IV+ body armor appearing worldwide.

big bore, were they crimped, or were they too big?

i might go ahead and tumble it, but i think i'll pass on the decapping. that sounds like unnecessary tennis elbow.

I am in the process of downsizing my collection of gun stuff, and I have quite bit of brass that I'd like to move, on the order of 30 gallons. About half of that is 9mm brass, and I was wondering if I would be better off selling it as full priority mail boxes, or packaging it into smaller lots...

They will generally be staffed by volunteers. I've never heard of anyone being ripped off. You should be making a check out to the NRA. If it is being made out to "Joe Blow" I'd be worried.
