Wanted Primers

Same here.

Pistol primers are in pretty decent supply. Forget it if you need rifle primers.....especially standard small rifle primers.

Word to the wise.......be careful if you're going to hook up on some primers. Shipping them comes under haz-mat regs and can get a fellers boob in the wringer. :cool:

Tried checking ups rates for shipping hazardous materials, but never could find anywhere on their site that showed how much the rate is. I know cabelas hit me with a $20 fee for haz mat on my last order, but I ordered 3000 primers and 4 lbs of powder. No state sales tax on cabelas purchases, so actually came out considerably less than buying from local.

Will still check our gander store Joe, but it will probably be middle of next week before I can get over there.

You won't, either. :cool:

Haz-mat can only be shipped by authorized shippers. UPS Stores and UPS customer counters are not even authorized.

Not sure how the Post Office handles it.

Some of those rules are similar for firearms if I am not mistaken, but UPS will do one time pickups of firearms. Kind of assumed you could ship haz mats so long as you paid a fee. Obvious I assumed wrong. Do ups centers or hubs accept them Don?

USPS website really did not have good info either, have not looked at fed x.

If you are still having trouble finding them, maybe you can order some Joe.

No.

UPS Stores and hub/center customer counters will not accept haz-mat. You have to have a haz-mat approved pickup account of your own and there are very few places that have those. I run a mostly commercial route in a town of around 20,000. I have between 45 and 55 daily pickup stops each day and none of them are haz-mat approved.
