  1. I haven't received my small order yet. I did receive an email from them offering domestic primers for higher prices than the Unis Genix pricing since our original order had not been fulfilled. Passed on that offer and am still patiently waiting on the imports.
  2. TrueBlue 5.0 or 5.1gr over a 124gr FMJ is the load my GF really likes due to less felt recoil.
  3. The update from them for an earlier order that was due for delivery in late February\early March has been pushed a month. The status update which was sent late last week is appreciated and their customer communications thus far have come across as reputable and focused on customer satisfaction. I continue to hold out expectations that this will be a viable, although more expensive option to US based primers for the near future. If they can satisfy some level of demand over the next 12 to 18 months it will help with primer availability. Much preferred over the mad scramble over limited stock when they come available as well as the astronomical prices from auction sites. If it can put downward price pressure on private sellers, everyone that reloads would benefit.
  4. As soon as they hit my door step, I will be loading 4 different handgun calibers to make certain they are good to go for that brass. I'll be seating some of the SPP I receive in 223 & 556 cases to test as I would think the SRP & SPP close to the same diameter. By that time, the next shipment round will probably be taking pre-orders and will want to know if the that size presents any issues before I order more, including SRP.
  5. A friend just ordered a a press and has begun the search for the unobtainable. I let him know about Trifusion's Unis Genix offering. With only a handful of primers in his inventory, he & I decided to order 1K each of SRP & SPP. About 10 minutes after placing the order (we combined to save on shipping and potential Hazmat costs) I received a call from their Customer Support. I was an few minutes late on ordering SRP, for which they apologized. We chose to switch the order to all SPP so we'll be receiving 2K each, instead of getting 1K each SPP right now and waiting until April or May for the SRP to arrive. Neither of us wanted to commit to a large number of unknown (to us) primers and the higher cost is a factor, too, which is why we only went with a sample size order. They have another shipment coming in late spring and offered to fill the SRP at that time. Their pricing may come down a bit for the upcoming shipment is the gist of the conversation with Trifusuion's CSR. For those of us that just started reloading this year, there aren't many options for components, so a high cost for now from a reputable vendor versus those private sellers that are looking to obscenely profit from the shortage is preferable. I'm as much of a capitalist as anyone, but there is a distinction between acceptable mark-ups and outrageous pricing. Their quick response and offering options was greatly appreciated and I am hopeful that the rest of the transaction goes as professionally as what happened today. One can only imagine the amount of time, effort, paperwork and hoopla to obtain permits they must have gone through in order import these primers. Maybe a little foreign competition will help spur American suppliers to up their game a bit if there is anything that they can do to increase production.
  6. I really miss the good old days, back in December, when they let you buy 500 at a time........
  7. If you keep an eye out and are willing to travel a bit to a few far flung stores in this area, you can find them when they come into your area. Seems like 2 weeks ago there was a shipment to our part of the country (Midwest) and a number of stores had them. They didn't last long and when one vendor had them I contacted all of the stores in a 100 mile radius. It'll probably be another couple of months before this happens again. Every single store had a limit on what could be had in one transaction, most were limiting to a thousand per size. Took my Dad along with me as he was able to "assist".
  8. A couple of stores in my area had CCI & Federal in stock for a few hours this week. In store only, no shipping. Seems like a production run was sent out to the distributors and retailers recently. I wonder how long it will be before the next batch is headed to retailers?
  9. Just joined, looking to increase shooting and reloading knowledge primarily. Competed in one USPSA match last year, just ordered a press. Happy to be here and a part of what looks to be an awesome group of like minded people.
