I got a good deal and I'm happy about it, obviously you're not. It's not my responsibility to make sure businesses follow rules. Furthermore it's not my business how much money he makes, that's HIS business. That's your problem phantom, you worry too much about other people's business. If you care so much, send the guy the extra money to cover the hazmat fee, otherwise mind your own business for once. I should have know better than to respond to ANYTHING you post.

A mistake I won't make again. I couldn't care less about you or anyone else getting a good deal. Never said you have a responsibility. What I said was that you don't give a crap if someone might ship explosives through a method that might put people at risk...just so long as YOU get a good deal. Try for a second to comprehend this. How funny it is that someone that posts on an open forum distributed via the internet thinks that they shouldn't be violated via someone not minding their own business. And of course you won't reply to anyone that thinks that you are wrong...common ailment for Social Media participants. Heaven forbid that someone might post a contrary take on your actions. Cheers!

FYI, my loads are close to the bottom of the recommended range, with the bottom being 2.5 and my loads being 2.7. If I were close to the upper end of the range it might make a meaningful difference in pressure, so be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen any actual laws about shipping hazmat, but then again I don't ship hazmat so I wouldn't know. It is federal regulation of shipping companies. There are also small-quantity exemptions outlined in 3 different sections of the regulations. And the entire weight of the primers would not be the guiding limit, nor the packaging. Only the actual explosive weight determines the exemption cutoff (though there is a maximum for the entire exempted package weight). I have not been trained on the regulations, just looked them up. From having done so, I found nothing that says all shipments of primers are subject to hazmat fees, but they would be subject to ground transportation only, contents would still need to be declared -- and as of January of this year properly labeled as exempt -- and all other regulations still apply. I do see my primers are coming with "adult signature required" which is another regulation that applies. I have no reason to doubt the package will be properly labeled. I also found these regulations came about due to an explosion of (a semi load full of) primers. Truck driver hit a pothole. The load exploded. Driver died.

But I'm pretty sure that the U.S. DOT and the EPA control the issue of transporting explosive materials (such as primers). The actual charging for the transportation of HazMat materials is at the discretion of the carrier. My memory of the penalties is something like 6 months / $250000.

Jailhouse Jim, SASS #13104 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 One of the reasons for the ORMD designation is to ensure the hazardous item is ground shipped. Throw 5K primers in a flat rate box, it gets thrown on a plane and blows up for some obscure reason, the plane crashes, the shipper is liable and possibly the receiver may have some vicarious liability. Not worth the savings IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou Graham, # 26112 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 The regulations for HAZMAT have nothing to do with charging or not charging extra. It's about how it's packaged, labeled and shipped. I got some stuff a few months ago (I think it was from Midway) and they were running a deal on orders over a certain amount with HAZMAT fee of a penny. The proper box, label and shipping method were still used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that there is an approval process that one must go through in order to process HazMat shipments. So it's more than sticking a correct label on a box. This is the reason some folks charge for the service...cuz it costs them money to be able to ship HazMat. Phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tequila Shooter Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I'm not sure if it's still a requirement but in the early 2000's in order to ship HAZMAT the person doing the paperwork had to be a HAZMAT certifier. The military taught the course (I'm sure there were civilian courses also), the course taught shipping, packaging, labeling, and regulations. Upon graduation you were given a certificate which had to be renewed by attending a refresher course every 3 years, the certification was applicable in the private sector. The person with the certificate signed all the required paperwork and was accountable for any discrepancies. Interesting note - when a conveyance was being loaded with HAZMAT the certifier had to be present to ensure that the material maintained all requirements for securing and separation.

Kirk James Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 Found 1000 small match primers at Sportsmans. They still had them in a cart to put on the shelves and that's all they received. Found 5000 match small magnum at Bass Pro Shop but had to pay $48 per thousand with Hazmat and tax. No longer available. Hat to pay that much but that is all I could find.

My wife went to the SW in Prescott and got a 1000 Federal Magnum primers of the same size. Since my reloading gear is still packed in boxes I think I'm safe for a while. The SW in Flagstaff still had magnums and match Federal when I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
