Here is something that I don't understand...
Powder, in it's original container is classified as a "haz-mat" under shipping regulations. Primers, unloaded and in a paper container or sleeve are classifed the same also...
Primed cases are not "haz-mat" and may be shipped under "ORM-D consumer commodity," and of course, loaded ammunition too.
Now, if I am correct, this also goes for loaded cartridges of black powder also. Loaded black powder in either paper or brass cartridges is classifed at "ORM-D." Ok...
Eh...crazy.
Where is the common sense in this?
Rant off.
