    Placed an order for 8208XBR

    Well, sort of.
    Never heard of this place and it is in Norway.
    Went through the order process. No other way offered to pay except Zelle. I click proceed to see if it gave another option of payment.
    Nope, it says order processed

    I don't have Zelle

    Glad I bought 20#'s a few years ago when it was available. Did the same for AR Comp.

    The real Unicorn at the moment is H-4895.

          If you sent them money you absolutely deserve to be ripped off.

          Bruno?s and powder valley both had 8208 in stock.
          Let me guess it was free shipping or it was $30 a pound?

            C'mon man, if a place only has an option to pay by zelle then it is a scam site.

              Like I said I don't have Zelle, also would not have ordered anyway, that's why I came here to see if anyone heard of them.

              Deserve to be ripped off?
              Never heard of Brunos, so I guess if I send them money I deserve to get ripped off?
              By the way, neither Bruno or powder valley have 8208XBR in stock.
              Been watching powder valley for a long time and have not seen it in stock.

                That's why I checked their web site to see if they took other forms of pay. Then checking here to see if anyone heard of them.

                  Everyone knows Bruno's will rip you off. but you'll still get your powder, just at $50 at pound

                    Powder has gotten out of hand.
                    One LGS averages $50-60 a pound for any powder

                      Brunos does not charge CA tax.
                      Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.
                      I really miss the good old Pomona Gun Shows.

                        Oh wow a 8.75% discount on components marked over double retail for primer and 150-160% for powder.. Yeah that's a discount. During the powder shortage they had no problem marking stock they already had on hand up WAY up.
                        It's only been recently they have dropped their prices back down to a reasonable level.

                          Powder has just recently gotten back down to $50 a pound. It's been out of hand for a long time. I've been waiting on large rifle primers for three years. Finally got some from Powder valley but still at $500 for 5K. it's 2.5x what I was paying in 2019.
                          8208 showed up on powder valley a few weeks back. it'll pop up again soon.

                            Brunos has been having sales. Free shipping. No ca sales tax. LA is 10.25%
                            H4831sc i got 32lbs. $40 cheaper for 8 lbs than phillips.
                            Saved $160 just for powder
                            No sales tax $1300.
                            Free.shipping.

                            Your right. Not as cheap as 3 years ago. But these days. I got some powder.
                            When they get H1000. Its usually 10 1 pound bottles.last time it was under $400

                              Wondering what the Norway scam site proposed as shipping to the US. There's a reason buying hazmat stuff from Europe is not common, unless you're a bulk importer.

                              I find that Bruno's is expensive, but not outrageously so (in most cases), and seems to get stock earlier than a lot of cheaper places. Certainly not so expensive that he's on my personal blacklist.
