Thread: Reloading components from the US

It's the freight cost that usually makes it marginal to import.

Is freight cost pretty high?
The components seem pretty cheap on US websites, but more importantly they seem to have a bigger selection when it comes to less standard calibres. As well as when the stores here have a 3 month away order, the US has everything in stock.
