When buying Ammo say from Midway. Do you have to pay an extra hazard charge or somehting like you do if you are having powder shipped?

Negative....

I know when I buy powder or primers from Cabella's they charge a hazmat charge of $20, they will only ship it ground. If it isn't a requirement I'd like to know as that is a steep charge. Must be different for ammo as the rounds I purchased from Reeds Ammo in OK never had the hazmat charge.

Ammo isn't subject to the hazmat charge that you normally get on primers and/or powder.

Also shop around for your on-line powder and primer purchases .... Some places will combine them in one box and only charge you one hazmat fee.

I do get my powder and primmers in one shipment but the hazmat charge seems a bit muck at $20 per order

WD - That $20 is the normal hazmat fee. I don't think that its set by the company you're buying from - I believe its set through gubment regulation but I've been wrong before.

The best way to minimize that is to buy as much as you can in bulk ... find out how much you can order and still only get one hazmat fee and then max it out. Even if you need to get a couple of other guys together and pool your orders. BTW - I've never found Cabela's to have decent prices for ordering components on-line. Not enough selection and too high of prices ..... there's much better options out there - IMO.
