    Berry's is Backorder 2-4 months

    I just went out to Berry's Manufacturing website looking for some bullets only to find out they are back ordered 2 - 4 MONTHS



    Glad I was able to set some 115 PRN about a month ago.

    I invested in lead as a hedge for these current tough times.

      I walked in to my LGS and grabbed a box of 500, 158g Xtreme PFP off of a good sized stack they had on display. I didn't check for anything else.

        I bought Missouri cast boolits...got tired of waiting for plated...think the lag time was 2-4 weeks FWIW.. I suspect they'll work fine.

          Starline brass isn't even taking backorders.!

          I got 1000 new 10MM cases about 10 days ago and I'am glad I ordered them right after the New Year. Their website is out of just about everything. No backorders allowed. Wow.....

          Starline Brass sells America's finest handgun, rifle and pistol brass cases for reloading ammunition. Factory direct value plus highest quality - shipped to your door.

            Berry's had a 6-8 month back order, just a week or two ago. They also had their web site disabled, although I didn't see anything actually in stock on the products that were listed, when I just looked.

            I just got in on a huge group buy for bear creek bullets. I am signed up for 10,500 bullets. I heard they are looking at 4-8 weeks to fill orders as well.

            My brother has been looking for .224 55 grain rifle bullets, but we know how scarce those have been, unless you want to get raped when you buy them.

            I am glad I cast for a few of my guns. It just sucks that lead has become "extremely toxic" in the last 10 years. It used to be much safer when I was younger and it was easier to get. (Yes, you and I both know it isn't any more dangerous than it used to be, just as guns aren't any more dangerous now than they were decades ago, when everyone had one in their truck or leaning in the corner of the kitchen.)

              Berry's site says they are working 24/7 in order to fill the orders they have and get back on track. While I don't need more bullets at this point, there are many others who are not as well prepared. That's why I was looking; trying to figure out a way to help one of them out.

              It might be time to dust off the lead pot and the molds and get busy.

                Good move. I have been using 40S&W pick up cases for my 10mm loads almost exclusively, saving my 10mm cases.

                Wait, does that make me a hoarder?

                  I placed a Precision Delta order 4 weeks ago (when the wait was 4-6 weeks), now the wait is "12 weeks or more". I should have ordered more......

                          Not a big deal in any case, I have always ascribed to the sentiment once expressed by Groucho Marx, "PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I DON'T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT ME AS A MEMBER."
