Thanks for posting the picture. I hope the 45's & 9's look as good.

I bought 500 new bullets from them and they sent me 500 pulled bullets. Bullet weights were very inconsistent. Worst bullets I have ever bought. Ended up getting a partial refund....Twice. Once for the crappy quality and a second time for shorting me on the correct number of bullets.

@dogslayer, did you happen to weigh your pills? If so, we're they fairly consistent?

I'm in for some 9mm.

I know they are pulls, so they might be a little ugly. But at $0.04 they will make good paper punching rounds.

.04 for bullets
.02 for primers
.015 for powder
I am reusing brass

.075 for total

agreed, I ordered another few thousand and haven't gotten my first few thousand so hopefully worth the risk but finally received info from fed ex that they picked up already and its on its way. I did order a single batch of 500 9mm at the same time and received that already

It took about a week to get shipping info. Still waiting for them to ship though. Ordered 1-20, got shipping notice 1-25. Called them thursday and they said the got overwhelmed with the half off sale. My order was supposed to ship Friday. Now it says expected to ship Tuesday. We'll see.... my last order took 3 days once it shipped.

Also ordered on the 20th, shipping label created on the 27th, and was just picked up by FedEx today. Says it is due on Thursday. I held off on a second order to see what the quality looks like.

Ordered the 9mm 115/124 gr mixed lot. Did't see anything that said they were pulled. Hopefully they will be good to go. Still, you can't be that 1K for $52 price.

I'm probably just going to load them on my progress press with a powder charge that is safe for both. Though I would imagine they are easy to tell apart, (I've only ever used 115gr for 9mm) as the heavier bullets typically are longer too.

My shipment of 230gr .45's just arrived today. There are some slight pull marks, but nothing I would worry about and the marks are not deep. I weighed about 10 random ones, and they all fell between 228.5-230 gr, which I thought is acceptable. Buy with confidence

First post - long time lurker and thanks for the heads up on the 50% off "blitz" a while back.

I ordered my .45 bullets on 1/20, received them yesterday. I took one box and counted them (while i was helping a buddy dialing in his reload .40 on my press). 520 bullets in the box - so i got almost the 5% "extra" they showed for the 9mm pulled bullets, but did not advertise for the .45! Cool.

Here's the box 'o bullets i checked:


And a closeup of one bullet so you can see a couple "crimp" or mechanical marks from the puller:


Once i was on their mail list i got the next discount email, so grabbed some more -115gr 9mm this time. I took a risk since i hadn't received the .45 bullets yet... But after this If they show up as nice as the .45 i'm very happy for the cost! (about 6.7c per .45 and 4.xc per 9mm iirc).

Thanks!

First shipment showed up today. Found 2 fmj 45's in a box of 500, and found 4 damaged bullets in another. All counts were 1 over. They could use some time in the thumbler to shine them up. Overall i'm happy with the purchase. Just received shipping notice for second order (convenient)

Picked up my order today, i mean from fedex, i like that they use fedex because i could have them hold the package at my local fedex which is open until 9pm instead of praying im at home when they come.

First impressions, good tight packaging. Could be labeled better nothing my own marker cant fix. Opened one box looked at 20 random projectiles, they look good, no deep crimp marks or horible dents or scratches from pulling.
They couse use a tumble to shine them up, i weighed 20 and they were all withing .7 grains pf each other.

Overall for $64/1k shipped compared to the cheapest xtreme group buy at about $30 more i am very happy with the order, even happier i placed that 2nd order before receiving these while it was an option.

Wait with confidence or buy with ease if it come around again (might place a 3rd order, election year and all)

I have one pic of packaging, 2 of bullets, and 1 of these compared to some xtremes, which are at the top of the pic with bullets in my hand 5 at the bottom are from AR

I put in 3 different orders for a total of about 5000. couldn't justify passing up the deal lol. got first order of 2000rds and they're good. I just find the shipping to be terribly slow with fedex but the way around that i found is that instead of ordering one large order of a few thousand, just make multiple orders of 500 ea and they'll send them usps priority (at least they did with mine) and you'll get it about a week faster

Thats odd, im not a fanboy but i called once and someone picked up right away. Since someone said there was a delay i didnt worry about calling for my 2nd order status as im in no rush to load them.

Relax!!
Ordered 2000 on 1-20-16 and just received them yesterday. They look fine and I'm not in a big hurry to get them loaded. For the price it's worth the wait, it's like ordering from Palmetto!
