While perusing primer prices and availability, I discovered an advertisement by Academy Sports for CCI Small Rifle primers for $6.99/100. A decent price given the current environment.
What surprised me though was 1. FREE SHIPPING and 2. NO HAZMAT FEE !
The only caveat however is that you’re limited to 800 primers to a shipment. The only “add on charge” was for the internet sales tax.
BUT! that was consumed by the 5% discount for using my Academy credit card.
Net cost was $56 and change delivered to my door just 10min ago. I ordered Saturday, so quick delivery considering the season.
Evidently 800 primers are below the threshold for requiring a hazmat tag.
Some may have already been aware, but I wasn’t… Nice to know! They came in a 1,000 box less 2 sleeves (200 primers)
I tried as best as I could to put 10 (1,000) in my cart but it kept changing to 8.
Well, 800 is almost as good as 1,000, but better than $100/M.
Update: I was able to get 1,000 in my cart for Small pistol primers. I guess they have slightly less propellant…
