I've ordered two or three times from them and it went fine. I'm only buying their super duper extra discounted free shipping whiz bang deals, though. Probably means they have bookoo inventory of what I'm after

I too am waiting for Christmas to see if we see 25% again. I unfortunately missed the 25% AND free $25 gift card... but if it were to present itself again I'd do it!

I heard back from them today and it looks like my primers won't ship before the 29th. They offered me a $15 gift for each of two orders, if I wanted to wait or a refund. I told them I would wait and take the gift cards. So far no gift cards have shown up?

My guess is they sold out of them and are waiting for another shipment. I had a third order of primers that may or may not ship before the 29th. I am disappointed in their batting average lately.

I received a $30 gift card this morning. Now I just have to wait until Spring to finally get my primers.

 

[arakboss]

Don't ask me how I got these added to my cart like this but price would be about $313 per 10,000 primers delivered, if you purchased 20% gift cards first.

Anybody recognize this mystery powder. The only provided recipes are for 300BO

I am very tempted to try this powder at 40% off and use discount gift cards to get it for less than $12.50 a pound. Only 7 left at time of this post.

I tried recreating this cart and it ain't working.

Edit: I figured it out. I think these primers could pull double duty for lower pressure rifle and pistol rounds. Supposedly the cups are a little softer on these WSR primers vs some other brands of SR primers.

What black magic got you this discount? I didn't see anything that could get15% off primers!

I am crusin for a brusin. Ordered 4 more items that were close to or the last remaining items.

I can't get it to work since Fiocchi pistol primers sold out.

You broke them.

That might actually be my fault. I wanted the SPP and SRP and ordered the last Fiochi SPP. sorry everyone!

I received 750 more 140gr TGK bullets from the order they supposedly didn't have bullets for. The delivery was unannounced, no notice from UPS. I am still going to wait until all my orders and substitutions have been shipped before trying to reconcile any averages that have been shipped.

Their shipping dept is whack!

 

[arakboss]

I ordered another four line items of bullets which were last items. I am expecting some substitutions will be in my future unless they magically cured their inventory woes.

I just ordered 5 Ibs. of MP 265-8. It came out as around $27 a pound after shipping and tax.

I use Accurate No 7 for 32 H&R Magnum, and thought I would give them a try. Powder does not seem to be going down in price from my usual suppliers.

There are still some powder primer savings to be had using "frequently bought together" discounts.
Through trial and error I was able to put this cart together. If I was to purchase some discounted gift cards, I could save even more.

I snagged the last jug of 265-8 and a 1000ct batch of 223/5.56 projos. I used 20% discount gift cards so the price worked out to about $17.95 a pound shipped for the powder and the projos were 3.2 cents a piece shipped.

I won't be sad if they don't have enough 5lb jugs of 265-8 to fill my order. I will request an 8lb jug of 610-6 for a replacement item. There are around 16 jugs of the (similar to Stabil 6.5) 610-6 remaining.

Looks like they are going to send me the factory seconds large rifle magnum primers. No tracking info so it will be a surprise when they show up.

I asked about my $30 refund from another order and they said it could take 10 business days. They can pull it from my bank acct in 10 business seconds but putting it back takes days. I never understood that.

My $30 refund still had not been refunded to my account well after the 10 business days. I sent another email asking them to cancel that refund and send me a $30 gift card instead. That gift card arrived in my inbox this morning.

I am still waiting for definitive dates on when my primers will ship out. So far I have not received any good answers.

Americanreloading.com is still jerking me around with the primer orders. They were suppose to ship by Dec 29th. This morning they sent an email regarding one of the orders saying the are "projected" to ship by the end of next week. WTH does projected mean. The order was for one case of large rifle blems and one case of large rifle magnum blems. They still show 11 cases of the large rifle magnum blem primers in stock. I requested that they substitute large rifle mag primers for large rifle primers. Or just send the large rifle mag primers. My suspicion is they don't have either one in stock. I am about ready to cancel that order.

Still waiting on what gives with the other two orders.

I feel like I have been pretty patient, especially given the lack of transparency as to why none of my primer orders have shipped.

It's beginning to wear thin.
