BULLET AVAILABILITY

[erwos]

The problem with American Reloading is that the pulls are not always as described. I bought a bunch of 158gr lead projos with "light marks", and some of that were grossly deformed. This kind of thing is alright with blaster pistol bullets, but it destroys accuracy for rifle bullets. Unless it was something exotic and hard to find like Trophy Bonded Bear Claws, I'm not sure I'd buy their rifle pulls beyond a 25-100yd blaster use case.

The real deal is arguably the LOS bullets, which are new and perform reasonably well. At 25-30% off, they're often a really really good value.

Awhile back I had ordered some pulled 220's. I received about 30% 190's and the rest were ok. American Reloading responded quickly to my email and resent the order and told me to keep the first order. They will make your order right.

To clarify, they sell demilled/pulled bullets. They will have pull marks and will be clearly not factory new projectiles. I wouldn't buy bullets for 1000yd PRS shooting from them, but 9mm Gold Dots or HST's for $0.11cpr shipped is a no brainer to me.

Yup. As far as pistol bullets go, I always find a few deformed bullets from the pulling process. However, they always over pack and the prices are currently stupid cheap.
Also, with pistols, I'm happy with 6" groups at 25yds. It would take a seriously bad bullet to effect that requirement/skill level. (I was trained to hit center mass fast- no need for the X ring)

I received my order from American Reloading too. However, I am not pleased. I ordered 123 gr TMJ and received those (mild pull marks). However, I also ordered the 147 gr G2, they were not in the shipment and so far American Reloading says they shipped them. I tried calling and customer service hangs up before saying hello…

Hopefully they make it right.

American doesn’t supply good tracking/shipping, which is unfortunate

There have been orders where it was cheaper for them to ship in multiple boxes instead of a larger one and they arrive at different times. I have never been shorted complete orders before and they’ve always made right in any shorted counts or damage exceeding over counts..

Just got another email from Xtreme. Still free shipping.

Did a count and hit them again yesterday. Twice this week, shipping has defaulted to Free.

As a follow-up. They answered my email apologizing for the error and with tracking info for the missing items with no questions asked.

Great customer service.

Good stuff. I judge companies by how they rectify their mistakes much more than whether they actually make mistakes. We all screw up on occasion.

There's been some accounts of personal info leaks going on their website, so I'd be wary ordering from there until things get resolved. I haven't gotten any fraudulent charges yet, but if i do, it's probably from that AR leak.

Who's got the cheapest RN 124gr FMJ 9mm bullets these days? Still RMR? Not looking for pulls.

American Reloading has LOS brand new bullets. I have shot about 500 so far and they work well for pistol and my PCC.

That's what I used last time, but the 124 RNs weren't there when I checked.

Wound up buying some coated 124s from Summit City, since they were cheap.

I saw someone on MeWe asking about ARX bullets a while ago and I looked them up and they looked interesting.

Just saw American has some .357 pulled ARX if anyone else finds them curious
