Hard to say but I would say insurance has something to do with it. God knows everyone wants their hands in our wallets.
So why are we all paying a hazmat fee then?

The last powder (HAZMAT) delivery I received, I watched the driver toss the box up on the stoop from a fair distance and let the box just hit the bricks. Somehow I got the feeling that my HAZMAT fee wasn't being well utilized.
HAZMAT is just more shipping BS that separates buyers from their money. A lot of people are making good money on this useless regulation IMO.

The right way. The wrong way. The state way. The county way. The city way. They all get worst.

Yeah this is right....just another "tax" on the shooting industry.
I do enjoy reusing or recycling the boxes with all those labels on though....keeps most of the neighbors from striking up dumb conversations, haha. So at least I'm getting some benefit right?
A quick search of FedEx and ups accidents will show you that almost all of them were a result of hazardous material. In the Everglades it was oxen generators. If I was a carrier and I had lost planes to hazmat I would either stop carrying it or increase cost
Some hazmats are worse then others but most often it's the combination of more then one.

Have you seen how the powder is shipped. In plastic containers, in a cardboard box. I haven't seen a wood stoves in those trucks that deliver those items either. Sometime the boxes are badly damage too. It's bullsh*t.
A friend of mine e h ad a out 300 lbs self ignite in his shed outside in Richwood TX.That fire just went straight up in the air.Way past the tree tops and telephone poles.Lol The fire dept even thought UT was wild.No erosion..just a helluva fire

If memory serves correctly. Bill Clinton did this to make supplies more expensive. No all carriers got on board at the same time, until they seen the wind fall money coming their way!

So you saying that since I ordered 8lbs of powder last year the local fire dept. got a notice with my address in case of fire? I find this hard to believe because we have fire fighters in the family. Actually just had the fireman's ball and drank some cold ones with the Chief. I am going to ask him and see.
Remember it's the internet......not everything you read will be the truth or apply to your particular AO.
I can promise you our rural FD receive no such notices.

Be interesting to see what a brick of 250 mag primers does in their experiment
Who could afford that experiment? (Other than our government who can do it with our tax dollars)

I have a question for Butter Bean since I know you like the 7mm STW, sorry for posting here but I didn't where to post, the question is what brass do you run in your STWs? I don't think ADG or Peterson produce any, I am using Nosler when I can get, I think it is a little better than Rem., Win., or Fed. What do you have the best luck with? Thanks Gene

You can always PM him. That way your chances of getting a response is greater...just a thought.
