I have always bought my ammo at stores only because I was always under the impression that companies that shipped ammo had to tack on a "hazmat" charge.
Light dawned on marble head the other day when I read on another site that there are no Hazmat charges for ammo shipped (or shouldn't be as long as said ammo is shipped ground), only primers and powder are charged hazardous fees (go figure...aren't those some of the components used in ammo??? ).
So I started to do a little research of my own and found that there seems to be a lot of misinformation out there....some said that a hazmat charge was normal on ammo shipped and others called them crazy....then there were those that seemed confused and somewhere in the middle...
So ask all you sages out there...what is your take on this? I don't want to know who ships the ammo sans hazmat charges (that will get the thread locked)...I just want to know who's right?
There are some pretty good deals out there on ammo shipped but not if I have to pay extra charges above and beyond the normal shipping charges.
If this has been discussed elsewhere ad nauseum, forgive me and point me to the thread/s. I couldn't find anything that dicussed this specifically.
