Gil,

Yes, I understand there may be a "DOT Regulation", but what is regulated and how does the Common Carrier provide any extra service? As Mr. 16 gauge asked, "Why a Hazmat fee for primers, but not for primed shotshell hulls or loaded ammunition?"

The Hazmat fee has never provided any service I can observe. Also, why is loaded ammo EXCLUDED from the hazmat fee? Perhaps the DOT Bureaucrats do not KNOW there are primers in loaded ammo. I say the Hazmat Fee is BS!
