[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1400559, member: 4191"] Thanks, but no, I don't know of any cost effective way to ship it to Alaska. Not legally. I think the air shipment is the cause of this problem. Everything in small sizes / quantities comes up by air, whether it be Fed Ex, UPS, USPS, etc... and gun powder and bulk primers cannot be shipped by air/jet. Powder has to be trucked or barged up. The large distributors/suppliers can afford to, and do truck or barge it up here in bulk quantities. I'm sorta in the know, because my brother owns a gun shop locally. He has one, and only one, source of gun powder and primers in Alaska. That's from his distributor/supplier located in Anchorage. They also supply all of the smaller stores/shops located throughout Alaska. I think H870 is the same powder as WC 872. But it's no longer manufactured. I have about 1/2lb of H870, but that's barely enough for load development. [/QUOTE]
