I’m in the same boat. Tempted to ship some ahead of time to the hotel I’m starting out from with some of my camping gear. Reading the regs it makes me nervous. I have a UPS account but don’t want to get involved with getting hazmat cert just to ship a few oz of bh209. Let me know what you find out and I’ll do the same.
I have always planned on doing this if I ever could draw a muzzy tag. It's never happened, so I cant comment on how TSA looks at this option.
Load them into larger opening cases, 209s should fit into a 9mm or 38/357 straight wall pistol case no problem. Stack them up with some tissue around them/between. If worried about multiple primers in a case just put in one per case, again in some tissue so its not rattling around.
After doing some research I found a few folks telling tales of buddies that got caught with trying to hide primers and powder and were charged with felonies. Odds are low but I wouldn't risk it. I live outside NYC so I found someone that does HAZMAT shipping within 30 minutes of where I live. Its going to cost $75 just to put their blessing on it plus shipping cost. I don't see another option, I don't expect to land in CO and be able to find any 209 primers anywhere.
I’m thankful for your offer! But I do have to ship my powder. Using BH209 and I can’t rely on any big box store. Also need to work up a load with 777 just in case. Again thank you!
