Reloading components

Im thinking of taking these reloading conponents to a gun show next weekend (CaptMidnight's show in Carson, WA). But if there is interest from you reloading guy's I would consider putting up an auction. There's 1900 bullets and 400 Large rifle primers. The bullets are all 150 grain roundnose softpoint .30 caliber (.308, .30-30 etc) The bullets would ship priority mail but the primers have to go ground with a $27 hazmat fee. I do not want to split up the bullets but could leave out the primers due to the hazmat. I know from looking that the bullets go for about $26 a box. I would not be asking that much. Any opinions?

    Auction side is where l buy ALL my reloading stuff...l used to get it all from MidWay, MidSouth Shooters Supply,or Natchez but their shipping/handling fees got to be more than the merchandise... GB is B E S T [^]

    For me to ship the primers is there crazy paperwork I have to fill out? I've never shipped primers before.

    SSS with primers.

    Ship, Shut Up, and Shut Up. [:p]

    Don't blame if you get caught, but that is what *I* would do.

    The primers are worth $14-16.
    (To me anyway- I have a reliable local source )

    My recommendation would be to sell them at your local gun show (if you were planning on going anyway). You will sell them in a hurry. And won't run afoul of the hazmat rules.

    I'd put the bullets up on the auction side.

    Just my thought.

    My issue with SSS (Ship, Shut up & shut up) is if the box somehow gets opened am I getting fined or jailed for shipping non declared hazardous materials. The buyer is in the clear while I get a $20K fine..ehh no lol.

    No. You didn't mail it. Somebody else just used your return address, right?

    Leave no trace......

    The ridiculous HazMat fee makes small purchases impossible.

    What's so goofy about it is primers by themselves are considered hazardous but fully loaded rounds with primers and gunpowder aren't (yet anyways). I need to do more spring cleaning..found more primers..2000 total now.
