bodybag0 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I was on their site and noticed that they are no longer accepting brass. No longer giving 1.20 a pound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCTaylor Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 They recently closed the Houston retail location, several of their sales emails link to out of stock product. I’m not trying to be a conspiracy theorist but this seems a little odd. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doublehelix Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I have heard issues that they were going out of business, but I am still receiving their emails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcfoto Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I'm a Freedom Munitions customer and noted the same. Was particularly irritated as I have a box packed up and ready to go. Today I got an email with up to 50% off. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cousineddie Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I shipped two boxes a few weeks ago. They both show delivered on 5/21/18. No credit yet. I'd rather have credit than the brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last couple of times I sent brass in, it was about 3 weeks before the credit would apply. I'm now wondering if I should use my credit before they go belly up...

GOF Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I have used Xtreme bullets for years. But I always ordered by phone because I am very reluctant to type a credit card number into a computer. You never truly know who else is looking. About six months ago I called to order. They said they were no longer accepting phone orders because (in the lady's own words) ... . "We are a web based business." My guess, especially after reading the above posts, is that they are toast. I have no regrets, because Bayou Bullets do everything the Xtremes did for me. And I can call a phone order and have it in my PO box is a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O_O Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) Hope they survive, never had an issue with their ammo, more mfrs the better. That said, as of late I wouldn't be shocked. Hard to see how they can stay afloat when their basic pistol/rifle reloads sell for as much or more than brand new Fiocchi, Speer etc. Edited June 4, 2018 by O_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOF Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Hang on for their "Going Out Of Business" sale. I suspect it is coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Who is a good alternative for 180 gr .40 JHP bullets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candiru Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Who is a good alternative for 180 gr .40 JHP bullets? Actual jacketed? MGs, Zeros but Precision Delta seems to be the new hotness. Inexpensive alternatives: good coated. Lots to choose from. Currently switching from Blues to Ibejiheads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Want2BS8ed Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Actual jacketed? MGs, Zeros but Precision Delta seems to be the new hotness. Inexpensive alternatives: good coated. Lots to choose from. Currently switching from Blues to Ibejiheads. I switched to Precision Delta from Xtreme several years ago and never looked back...Been very happy with their products and service.MSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robport Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) I mailed out 49 lbs to them on 5/21. Their site says they weren't accepting anything postmarked after 5/22, but I haven't heard a word from them yet.

Mcfoto Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) Dang. I have $60 in credit from brass trade in. Also noticed they are out of stock on a lot of there in-house stuff and the spam ad I got today was for factory ammo. Wonder if they’ve already shut down manufacturing.

Flatland Shooter Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Proof of claim not due until October 9th so this will stretch out for months. I've been burned in the past so will not be ordering anything soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Everytime I have ordered any Xtreme bullets I have gone through Sage's. He only takes orders for what is in stock and I normally have my bullets in 3 days at the longest. Guess I'll be looking for a new source for 155gr .40s. I don't think PD makes that bullet so I might have to compromise on that and go into load development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronicTwitch Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) Just saw they are filling for Ch 11 Bankruptcy...might explain some of the comments above. Just saw TalkingMonkey had the link a couple days ago. Hope they can liquidate enough to keep their projectile business going.

Nevadazielmeister Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 My friends and I, who live close to their headquarters here in Mound House, noticed differences in their policies and we eventually switched to Blue Bullets. (https://www.thebluebullets.com) Turns out that the new bullets feed better anyways, so go figure. Feel bad about Xtreme since now we have to peel our stickers off of our back windows. No use marketing a different company than what we originally were supporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
