KThirtyOneGrafs and Sons I recall offers to pay the fee if you buy enough.
Check out their home page. I think that offer is under "ordering" info.

Hazmat fee is $20.
One of the few places which allow powder and primers in same package. 50# max for the combo.

jb2008Anyone have a decent place to buy primers, powder etc from? I am about 7 hours from Midway, but I was wondering if any other places out there offer a discount if I buy enough stuff? I am sick of paying all these fees...

DutchWhat Arky said. What I do is put my order in with the local guy (so many bricks of primers, so many 8 lb kegs of this or that), and the next time he orders I get a call to pick it up. His insurance limits him to how much powder he can stock, so I have to pick it up as soon as it comes in. On the other hand, I get a decent "cost plus" deal, so it works out for both of us since he gets to spread his freight charge out. FWIW, Dutch.

arky65I do not know what size town or what area you live, but i have found that local gun/reloading stores sell powder and primers for just a few dollars more than the discount catalouge and no haz-mat. gunshows are a good source and usually the same price as the discount quys and no haz-mat fee.
