Does anybody know if this place still exists, or is still in business? http://www.rvow.com/Default.htm . Website hasn't been updated since 2005, and nobody answers the phone. That's not a good sign, but doesn't the website domain have to be renewed, every so often?
 
I have heard they are still going to gun shows, don't know how easy it is to order from them any more. I got some .224 62 grain pulled last year and didn't take that long but after ( I think his name is Dave ) died it has been harder and harder to get anything from them.

Used to be a top notch company to do business with. A couple years ago the owner operator died (TOM). Since then some customers have had some issues. The web site isn't updated, can't be reached by phone, customers who sent in brass to be processed have lost their brass and can not get it back or even replaced, just to let you know that buyer beware.
The RVOW company have been at the Knob Creek shoot this Oct. and last March. They still are in business but their good reputation has slipped. Hate to see it as I've done business with them in the past and have been pleased with their products. Just confirm that products are in stock and they are still reachable by phone.

You can pay for a domain name for several years out. Most people pay for 3 years in advance because you get a break on the price but 5 years isn't uncommon either.
 
I have heard first-hand accounts from several people that have sent brass in to them for processing and have never heard anything back.

The company, as stated above, used to be a top-notch brass processor. My understanding is that the original owner died and his wife is now trying to run it. For a while she was faithfully processing and returning brass, but I'm told this has stopped. It has now turned into a 'black hole' for money and brass.

Hmmmm. I'm looking for some good pulled 150 gr. M2 .30 cal. bullets to load for my M1, maybe I'd better keep looking. The prices on their w/s are sure attractive though.
