I've dealt with this company quite a bit over the last 15 years. Bullets were just ok but prices were good. Last time I ordered I got 4 boxes of 500 each of copper coated 230 gr RNL. Three of the boxes were ok but the 4th box was awful. Bullets had cuts in them, some were sized as large as .458, a couple were as small as .450. Very disappointed and wrote them a letter. Never heard the first word back from them and that's what really bothers me. Anyone else have any experience like this?

i bought 3 boxes of bullets in several configurations, and in one box there were about 25% obviously out of tolerance bullets. i email them, and got a very quick response.......they replaced the bullets with no shipping. in my email, i attached digital photos of the problem bullets......they said that the photos helped find what went wrong in the manufacturing process.

_Call_ them, with shipping paperwork or invoice in hand. For something like
this you want to deal with a live voice.

Maybe the letter never made it. Most companies worry a lot about 15 year customers who have a bad order, and want to make it right. ----------------------------------------------------------- Learn about rec.guns at http://www.recguns.com -----------------------------------------------------------
