Back in the day, primers, powder and ammo had to ship via slow boat, which is expensive.

Tried calling them. Must be closed for the weekend. But I ordered 1000 small and 1000 large for $130.50 no hazmat fee and 10% off...

Guess we will find out Monday

Post by: Begle1 on February 26, 2026, 07:47:08 PM: If somebody is shipping us large primers for 6.5 cents each then I know where my next paycheck is going. That's half what I got them for recently.

Assuredly their website isn't configured to handle the logistical realities of shipping to Hawaii.

Last time I ordered primers we needed to order at least 120k primers to make it worthwhile - this was pre-plandemic. And, it shipped via air freight. I think the fee was around $200.00.

Post by: hyperstang00 on March 15, 2026, 11:47:07 AM: I ordered 4000 primers. 2 case large and 2 case small CCI MAGNUMS for pistolas.. Came via UPS. I paid about 314.90 with Hazmat. About $78.75 per case. Not bad. But some shops have a caee of primers for $85 each...i would probably buy local next time.
