Hi ya,
This might be a "ddduuuuhhh" question, however, I'm willing to risk it.
Can you buy cartridge cases from the US and legally have them shipped/posted here?
Regards

Midway UK list brass for shipment to the UK, so the answer is 'yes', it can be done. I guess the next question is whether it requires a US export license and if so, whether your particular chosen supplier is prepared to get one.

Sorry, I wasn't that clear. I meant can I just login to a US website, order some stuff and have it delivered to me - or, as you say, does it require export licences etc?
Regards

Reloading International do brass and will ship however it is worth checking UK prices first, the more common sizes such as .308 in Lapua are around the same price in the UK by the time you have added shipping and duty, the more obscure brass is where you can win by buying overseas.
Rel Int charge 10% on top of listed prices for export.

Thanks, overpaa. Yeah, the ones I have my eye on are exotic, and I can only find them listed on US sites. But I didn't know if I could literally buy an' ship like I could if I was buying from Midway UK, or if I have to fiddle around with licences.
Regards

I have ordered stuff from Buffalo arms in the States and they posted them to me.
In fact I ordered some 310 cadet cases and a mould for the boolits and they posted them to me in the same package no problem.

We ordered .310 Cadet cases from Australia and .223 from the States. Got clobbered by customs on the .223 stuff but no problems actually importing it.

I've emailed Starline to see if they still send over the pond. Prices are good for pistol ammo!
