1000 small pistol primers (CCI 500). Can't ship them due to hazmat, or at least I don't know where/how to. Would need to meet in person somewhere around Missoula, Helena, or Bozeman.

Also, the ORMD label for loaded rounds went bye bye at the beginning of 2021. Just FYI. Carriers will reject packages with that label.
As stated above, you cannot legally ship primers without hazmat papers. Primed brass is somehow totally fine though. These rules make such great sense.

I would guess that if primers are all next to each other, like in a brick, if one by chance explodes, they all explode.
If you have 100+ pieces of brass (especially rifle brass) that are filled with primers and one explodes, there is less of a chance that they all explode. Maybe a couple will, if they are positioned right.
The brass also offers additional impact protection to the primer.
Dunno, if that's the true reason, but I guess it makes some sense in my head at least.
I guess that makes sense, but a primer isn't a very large explosion, but get a couple cases and it is.
This is a primer tube with the steel rod that sits on top. Rod ended up stuck in the ceiling.
Interesting thing i found out buying shotgun shells. You can buy pre primed shotgun shells with no hazmat fees. I guess if the primer is loaded in a case its considered ok to ship. Maybe ya need to sell 1000 rds of pre primed brass to ship? Lol
How did you manage to trigger that? (serious question, not ridicule)
Agreed. I am very interested in knowing how this happened.......so I can look for signs before the kaboom.
I have yet to have a primer pop while hand priming........but I am waiting for it. I've have some crimped primer cases were awfully hard to prime....even after swaging and chamfering.

It’s also been set off with Hornady brass, they are famous for what we call ringers. The anvil & bottom comes out but the ring stays in, partially swaged. Then upon priming, chain reaction sets off the whole tube of primers.
