Primers preorder...

I’m not saying this particular outfit is not legitimate. What I am suggesting is there are indicators/potential red flags. We all have our own risk tolerance. Mine is lower than many others.

If one thinks the only potential issue is the loss of money and then letting VISA handle it/get it back, that only addresses the immediate financial fraud.

Recovering from identity theft (which can include the ongoing accumulation of personally identifying information before any theft actually takes place/is discovered) is a heck of a lot more complex than letting VISA handle a one-off bad financial transaction.
 
$0.0615 / primer + $0.08 / 124gr RMR + $0.03 powder = $0.1715 / round of 9mm

Given the circumstances surrounding current ammo costs such as $0.60/round + on handgun Ammo if one can find it. $0.0615 / primer doesn’t seem bad at all temporarily.

How many of you would buy 1,000 rounds of 9mm for $175 right now?

I'm not worried about 9mm - got plenty of that - or .38Spl, either - I've still got over 1K rounds of M41 stashed away - or .45ACP or .30-06 or.... but I really like shooting my Webley Mk.1 .455/.45ACP/AR top-break and nobody EVER made a BP .45ACP/AR. I also really like my .38S&W's with "real" man-stopper loads, my .32-20's and .32 S&W Longs with vermin loads... and I like to shoot a LOT of them! That ammo dried up long before any of the previous "panics" and some of it (cut Webley) was never made.

I've got plenty of 9mm as well at this point in time, my post was just trying to be relevant to the greatest number of people. I am short on several other calibers which will benefit from some additional SPP and if I want to keep shooting, then resources must be replenished.

Everybody here has plenty of everything. We just want more. Nature of the Handloader

Didn't your Dad and Mom teach you to be careful using terms like "everybody, everything, always and never?"

Yup. I think a lot of "us" started handloading because the factories stopped making what we wanted - or never did. If milsurp and common civilian "huntin' ammo" is all you need, why bother handloading? But if an M1879 Reichsrevolver in 10.6mm is your cup of tea, well.... you better learn to load your own. ;)

I think that's one of the many reasons why handloading components are such a small, specialized market. Or was... is... will be again, someday...
 
So I tried!

Clicked on the preorder tab, nothing!

Maybe I have to register first? So I tried. Got their email, entered the password they provided, 3Xs. Kept saying I entered it wrong.

I gave up!

If I was in dire need, I would have started over. But getting a couple 1,000 SPP &SRP between July and September seemed like a good idea. Bet I do better than that in the next 30 days.
 
As we speak, the pallet is on an old derelict UN truck with chickens, goats, and refugees rumbling down a mountainside to the coast where it will be loaded on a fishing trawler for a late night crossing of the Adriatic to Italy.

Thereafter, it will be loaded on an Italian container ship along with crates of Chianti, Parmesano Romano, and stolen Ferraris.

Won’t be long now.

...uh, I'd contribute to the GoFundMe for that movie...Any film students here?! Please?!
Man, I'm thinking like Howard Hawks, 1937 or so...the old silver nitrate b&w, holy crap.
I'm never going to get to see that movie.
 
I decided to see what I could see.
Address a box at the post office
Website appears registered in June.
Phone record search comes up bland with it tied to a spammer in 2015.
No BBB accreditation
Facebook nothing
Google nothing.
No pictures of any storefront.
Website allows you to checkout with pick up at store, but there is no store.

Be safe out there
 
Thanks, Erief0g, I'll be looking around myself.
I hope it's just some enterprising folks who have, or think they have, found a way to fill a market gap.

I had no problem, I wonder whats up with that. Although I did need create an account prior to order. Hopefully they ship in the next couple weeks. Says 8 weeks to ship but that 8 weeks is up 3/15/21 at least that what I gather. We will see. Also they are legit, my wife did a search on them (she real good at that stuff) and they are as legit as it gets
 
The response. I've opened a dialogue with him.

"Hi Christopher,

We are pretty solid on or around that date for receiving, processing and shipping everything out to all the customers who have preordered. We still have one more international border to cross and that’s the one thing that has the potential to hang us up, but it would only be a delay, not a cancellation. I plan on sending out an email blast to everyone who pre orders giving updates as we hit these markers. Any delay I don’t anticipate taking longer than a couple weeks or so. We have imported through this supply chain before with different products and haven’t had any issues so far. Thanks for the inquiry.

Best regards,

Thanks for posting, I now have skin in the game too.
