Time for me to restock. Anyone know the maximum number of primers that can go in one package to keep Hazmat charges down? Any problems in mixing sizes as long as I am willing to buy in units of 5-10,000 of a size?

Gil Hebard Guns catalog NO. 45 reads= In addition to the primer cost, there is a UPS Hazardout material surcharge of $20. for each shopping carton containing primers. We (gil hebard) can pack up to 30,000 primers per carton (on an order for 30,000 primers this would break down to a hazardout fee cost of 67 cents per thousand) When ordering primers, include $20 additional for each shopping carton containing primers.

Thanx, 243.

The number is up to the seller.

UPS states that a shipping container can be no larger than certain measurements (108" combined length and girth) or heavier than a certain weight (70 pounds).

I have see outfits that will ship no more than as little 2000 primers in one box, chargeing the HazMat fee for each 2000 primers. I also have seen outfits that will ship the maximum in one box and charge a single HazMat fee.

Likewise there are sellers who will not ship primers and powder in the same container. But there are also those who do not make any distinction.

When shopping for components, always check to see what the shipping fees are. The lowest price is not always the lowest price.
