I order everything from the internet now and just pay the haz mat fee. Last time I had to order powder and primers, the haz mat fee was $20. How much is it now?

It is becoming increasingly difficult for the small shops to stock the things we need to feed our hobby. And money is the reason. When ever I can buy from a local shop I do. But it's hard for me to drive to Bismarck,112 miles for a pack of primers. I usually make 2 trips a year down there, spring and fall. I'm surprised the North Dakota DOT doesn't make me put a placard on my truck.
The haz mat fee is still $20 and you can ship a goodly amount for that. I just got 5#'s of MRP in for a friend of mine that lives in Canada. He was so happy with the price and being able to get that brand, I thought he was gonna kiss me. YUCK. Now he could sick his Lady friend on me anytime. She is knock down drag out dead gorgeous. Far out.
It sure is fun getting to meet folks that you have only conversed with on the net. Believe it or not there are real people behind those screen names. Good people. We already made plans for another powder drop off later this year. I didn't get to stay very long cause I was on my way to Minneapolis. I'm visiting my Grandaughter.
By the way if you need primers and powders Powder Valley in Kansas is a great source. They have a web site.
Best wishes, Bill
