After 6 months of waiting I get notified that my order is complete and they need my cvc number to process payment. Well my card number has changed and since I work 70 hours a week it takes me a few days but I call them so I can pay. I call and call...no answer at either number listed on their website.

So I respond to an email I received from them that my order was to be cancelled. Finally somebody responds and I was informed they would reinstate my order, send me an invoice, update payment, and I would be set.

Well... no invoice comes. I have now been trying to call them for 2 weeks and sent them another email this afternoon. I would prefer to give the nice lady my card info over the phone (or through their website) as opposed to having my card info just sitting in an email in somebody's inbox.

In any case, why is it so difficult to give them my money? Anyone else have these problems. I know they are a small outfit and I have purchased from them before but never really had issues other than one lady (maybe the same one) being a bit short with me over the phone one time.

Second question,
Where else can I find 300 grain 44 mag bullets of the .431 variety with a good size meplat?
 
Perhaps Beartooth is swamped with orders? At least I hope that's all that's wrong. I rarely purchase cast bullets as I cast my own, biut sometimes I'll buy a bullet of a new to me design before I buy a mold and Beartooth is normally the first caster I'll go to. I have one order pending from Feb. 3...
 
Hmm. Just tried JeggG's link and I can't use the .44 cal bullets they sell, only diameter they offered them in is .429" and .430", too small for my guns...
 
holy cow, is that a normal lead time from them? I was just about to order some 358 and 44 bullets from them for the first time.
 
Not normal. I usually get my orders filled within 2-3 weeks...

Edit; I just found an email from Beartooth explaining their backlog is running 16 weeks...
