I want a Lee sizing die in .476 dia. Midway has them. Simple right?
NOT IF YOU LIVE IN ALASKA!!!!!
Evidently because the kit comes with liquid lube they won't ship it to me
I doubt I can get them to remove the lube & repackage it. I just want to order the die & 1 stick of stick lube.
Two options.
#1 Anyone have a Lee .476 sizer kit (No Alox) they want to sell me?
#2
Anyone willing to receive the shipment for me & remove & keep the Alox, & send me the sizer set & sick lube by mail? I will reimburse the shipping cost.
Sometimes living in Alaska really sucks! This $20 dollar item is going to cost me $40.00!

As a PS, the guy who sell Xlox (same stuff) has shipped me a 2qt container by Priority Mail before & says it's not a problem!

Well I'd be happy to be your middleman Vance, but I'd just relay the whole package as I have no use for Alox. What they don't know won't hurt them ;-)

That would be great Rod.
If you don't mind PM me your name & mailing address. I'll get it ordered & have it shipped to you & we will go from there. I really appreciate it!

No sweat Vance. What is the stock number for the item? I have some stuff in my Midway wish list that I need to get around to ordering and it might be easier, and perhaps cheaper, if I handle that from here and we can settle up later. How quickly do you need the sizer delivered?

I will take a look and if there isn't anything I need right away we can do it your way to expedite things. Looks like it should fit in a SFRB so won't cost much to mail it.

Was going to edit that message to share the "rest of the story", but will start over.

First we must preface:

Most of us know what Vance's "day job" is....

And, we all know how hard to find 22lr ammo is....

Follow me now....

Anyway, I put Vance's item in my cart today as well as a couple things I needed from my wish list. I figured to hold out til Sunday to see if there might be a promo code for March because....well....you know.....ten bucks is ten bucks
;\)

So, I come in from the woodshop for lunch and check the email and there is an alert from Midway that Federal 325 bulk packs were in stock for 16 bucks with a limit of 3.

If you sign up for email alerts Midway will tell you when stuff comes in. I don't have a "smart" phone so by the time I receive these it is always too late. Until today!

As soon as I hit the pay button I tried to go back for seconds and they were already out of stock.

Was there a higher power at work here?

Hmmm.....
