You're lucky, Richard, if that's all that's necessary! In NY State, although the impending background check for each purchase of ammunition of any kind has not kicked in yet (I have my doubts that this behemoth of bureaucracy will ever be effectively implemented), it's still necessary to show one's pistol permit to buy it. And when buying from out-of-state, it's required to have it sent to an FFL and pick it up there!

I found out this A.M. that the shipping to me is around twenty bucks, which does not seem too bad for what it is--heavy and haz-mat. Though It bumps up the price almost another 10 cents per round, it will still be less than Fiocchi. I'm considering the feasibility of adapting the shells to accept standard small pistol primers, so that I can reload it...but we shall see.
