905, the death watch has begun. I liked paying under $18/K much better.

This is very tempting. I already have enough for myself for a year or two, but I'm not sure about 5 years or 10 years out.

Thanks for the heads up. I grabbed 20k. Should be enough to leave a few to my grandkids as much as I shoot anymore.

along with 8lbs of IMR4198, 1lb of Win 296, 1000 wolf 209m primers, 50lbs of #7.5 shot, and 500 claybuster 410 wads. I've been needing to place an order and this gave me a good reason. |

The double hazmat fee would kill that deal for me. Should be covered under 1 hazmat. I know that's the way powdervalleyinc does it. I just got 8lbs of powder and 1000 wolf 209m primers from them a couple weeks ago and was only charged 1 hazmat fee. I assume wideners will be the same. I'll have to check on that to make sure though. |

from their website
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: Now, here is a bear. It is so complicated to ship HazMats (powder, primers, components tracer bullets) that each order is reviewed individually to calculate the packing and shipping charges so the customer gets the best deal. Current HazMat charges are $22.50 per package. Order all you can to reduce your cost per unit as many items can usually be put in one package.

Not to sound stupid, but aren't small rifle primers for .223?
I thought .223 took small rifle, not small rifle magnum. ? |

Didn't that guy selling them say he'd mail them? I know, he's asking for a trip to see one of those guys with a gavel. Seriously, most of my order will sit together with powder and projectiles as assembled ammo, ready for the next course, match, whatever. |

So are you saying that you've always used Wolf SR primers and have never had a problem? I've only been reloading for a couple of years but it is my understanding that all other MAGNUM primers actually contain more priming compound and don't just refer to the hardness of the primer cup. |

They're gone now.
I bought 10k of the Wolf SR (non magnum) last night and there was 252k left. Apparently the people who bought the last 252k don't have a problem with them either.  |

Maybe their regular primers are hot as they are. Their magnum SR primers have harder cups for higher pressures/slam fire prevention, and they light all my 'magnum primer recommended' loads fine. |

When I originally started this thread, I placed an order for some. Then my CFO/wife approved another order, which meant I was probably going to get 2 hazmat fees. I emailed them and asked if they could combine them into a single order, and they said they already had. Don't know if that's typical, but that's what happened for me.
