There are a lot of worse things in life than owning a 'bling shooter" LOL!!!

If you are not a handloader, then perhaps you might want to look into the surplus Finnish Military 30 Luger ammo being sold by Samco out of Fla. Some of us on this forum have purchased some and it works 100% for me, and David also. Just a thought.

Glad I could help out. It is consistent ammo, at least it has been for me. I may well order a bit more at that price just to have around.

also informed the shipping will be 21.00 for the 250rds

Order more, shipping will be not much more, as only one "haz mat" fee to be added.

padredan · 12-01-2015, 02:15 PM

shipping was more than double on 500 rounds , 45.00 I passed on it , there was no savings

There is no hazmat fee on loaded ammo, only on primers and bulk powder. As a handloader, I order quite a lot of handloading components, and occasionally loaded ammo. That has been my experience to date.

According to recent experience, that's in the usual ballpark. I had about 20 pounds of ammo shipped from an auction house for around the same. One bad one was over $21 for shipping a single box of 50 Norma .30 Luger rounds to me, which I had won for under $20. They claimed it was what Fed-Ex had charged them--inflated, they said, because they'd called it ammo to the shipper, who tacked on a surcharge. This, in comparison to another house that charged $5 for sending two boxes.

I remember a post that detailed somewhat the comparisons among all the shippers, does anyone remember where it might be?

Also, has anyone used DHL for shipping/receiving anything?

David,

I received a package from DHL recently, but for the life of me, I can't remember if it was ammo/handloading components/etc. Sorry. I did have to sign for it, so likely ammo related.

Yes, about a year or so ago I ordered a WW II rifle part from Latvia (it was advertised/auctioned on GB) and they shipped it by DHL. I tracked it across Northern Europe to Germany and then on to NYC and then Chicago. It stopped there for about three weeks, and I finally got through to the DHL rep who told me that it was last scanned individually in Germany, and from then on only the container was scanned. So I had been following the container, not the parcel. The parcel never showed up. I notified the seller, who contacted DHL and that was when I found out about the container scanning. So, my parcel disappeared in Germany before being containerized.

The seller shipped another part after getting verification from DHL that it was lost, so I was only disadvantaged by a month or so of waiting. But I would never consciously select DHL for my shipping. In my case, the seller used DHL and I had no vote in the shipper selection.

Some years ago, I ordered a used/stripped M16 rifle barrel from Northridge out in California; the box arrived with a neat ~1" hole in the end and no barrel. That was by UPS; again a wait for verification and another shipment. The second time, there was a similar hole but someone in transit had taped it up [sloppily] with clear tape. But I got that barrel.

In both cases, before the sellers shipped a replacement, I had requested the shipping reps to query the stops of the shipment en route to me to see if it had fallen out and been retrieved but not identified. In both case I was told it was not possible.

Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer chances...
