...local retailers will be happy since fewer reloaders will buy powder and primers on-line because they do not want to incur huge haz mat fees.
Two of my LGS say that they are considering eliminating inventories of reloading supplies like powder, primers, and such because volumes are low and they can't make $. This decision of fees will probably push them to not sell these items.
Fewer options for buyers means the remaining suppliers can demand much higher prices.
This will lessen the cost advantage of reloading since shipping commercial ammo does not require haz mat fees.
I just don't understand the wisdom in this decision.
Elections do have consequences. Have a nice day!
