    With the supply situation the way it is, I may not be able to match a particular primer brand with the powder brand that my manuals specify. What's the best way to handle this situation? Is it anything to worry about?
    I'm new to reloading & I don't want to do anything to hurt my gun or myself.

    Just giving the numbers should be enough; buyers will know what they are. You may want to check how you'd ship them first, though. I'm not sure any shipping company will accept them from an individual.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    Sure they will, just have to pay hazmat and label correctly.

    Send them UPS or FedEx with the hazmat label. Do NOT send them via the mail or FedEx/UPS without claiming them as primers. Don't want to send a long time behind bars and/or a very expensive fine.

    As a note of interest, I bought some primers a while back on GB and the seller could not get them shipped. We finally did a hand to hand transfer but he was out a fair amount of gas.

    yea, had to cancel my auctions. would have cost $23 for the hazmat shipping plus regular shipping. and either i had to pay someone that was hazmat certified to ship for me or i had to take a 2 day siminar and pay over $500 to get certified myself. its all a bunch of bull crap. i can ship whole ammo, but not individual components! guess ill wait for the gun show. thanks for everyones comments. might have kept me from getting into trouble.

    Just some info you need to know. You cannot ship your primers unless you are HAZMAT certified or have a HAZMAT shipper that is willing to help you. These can only ship UPS or Fedex with a special account in place for HAZMAT items. If you are caught shipping these the penalty is severe, includes heavy fine & Federal jail time. Just tought you would like to know, I found out the hardway & can only sell with local pickup.
