    Whos been in the UK and exported reloading components?

    I'm just curious if any of you folk have visited the UK and bought any reloading components, and either bought them home or posted them.

    I'm there now, and thinking about shopping. I dare say its not worth the hassle, considering prices are not much better than home. Seen some bits and pieces I would buy, and bring back though.

    Not willing to go down the rabbit hole of debating if I should or shouldn't... just wondering if any of you actually have done so.

    Dunno about the UK, but when I went to the US, I posted stuff back to avoid any customs hassles with luggage. Listed as sporting goods on the declaration....which they were.

    I’ve posted brass back

    The UK will let you post brass but projectiles and other items require a permit of some sort as considered dangerous goods.

    I might pick up some brass then if I see something I need. Won’t bother with the bullets.
