Nj is ridiculous

Recommended Posts

So.  I went to tanners in pa today to buy primers. Closed.  That sucked.  So i figured ill check cabelas online.  Ordered 6k primers.  Free shipping.  Great. 20$ hazmat.   Whatever.  Go to close it out.  Says they cant ship to my address.  Nj.  Ok. So.  Ill send it to cabelas in Delaware and pick it up.   Nope.  Wont let me do that.  I called customer service.  They said they cant ship primers to nj.   Really i said.  I can get ammo shipped to me but not primers?   Really!!  So idont know if its cabelas or nj.  But they will not ship primers to nj. So i bought and shipped them to a friend in pa.  Im only a few miles from the pa border.  So how about that being ridiculous.  I remember a few years back we used to do bulk orders with us on the forum to cut down the hazmat fees. Then divide them up with the other forum members.    Stupid nj.

AFAIK there's nothing in NJ laws or regs that prevent you from having primers (or smokeless powder, for that matter) shipped to you in NJ. I've done multiple purchase from Powder Valley, most boxes up to their (shipping) max of 48 lb of smokeless or 50K primers, or a mix thereof.

Sounds like a Cabelas policy. Which really sucks.

Does anyone know if Bass Pro (same corporate owners) stocks and sells primers?

Unfortunately, I drove past Cabela's in Delaware this afternoon and they are closed.  I do know that if you visit their store, when open, they do not ask for ID for any powder, primers or other reloading supplies. I do not want to pay hazmat fees when Cabela's is only a 35 minute drive for me! I also need powder and primers right now.

It HAS to be a PRNJ thing!

Btw.  Me and cabelas/bass  are gonna have a long talk about this.  Midway had a policy of not sending rifle ammo to nj without a fpid card.  I had long talks about that with them and they changed their policy.  Lemme know if its still the same.

Cabelas started this stupidity a few years ago.   I don’t get why they won’t ship components but will ship ammo. Dumb at best. However, I rarely blame retailers for caution around ban states it’s easier for them to just say screw it.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
