By weight, I think I was only down 50 bullets. I contacted DG with photos. They replied with a photo of a bunch of perfect looking boxes leaving their warehouse. No offer for replacement, credit, or future discount. "Not our fault." Same experience with DG, several posts above. The box wasn't even wet. And yes all but 1 plastic bag were torn. A couple hundred bullets escaped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So at least they are contained, but still it's annoying dealing with split open bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78Staff Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Got my order from Graf's - took about two weeks, maybe a bit less. They were ACME 148's that were in stock. Still waiting on Blue Bullet order from... July I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Has anyone gotten anything from Bayou recently? Just wondering how far behind they are currently. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got update on Blue Bullet order from July... was originally 4-5 weeks, then pushed out to 8-10 weeks (Sept 20th shipping) and now pushed out mid/late October :(. Good thing I picked up those 148's from Grafs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich406 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I don’t get why bullet manufacturers are so far behind, when primers have been non existent for 5+ months now....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kidding, what's up with that? I can see the jacketed and copper coated companies giving priority to ammo manufacturers, but the coated bullet companies don't have those contracts.

nate89 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I don't know how many people are like me, but I tend to have a lot more primers/powder in storage than bullets at any given time. Once the powder and primers started being hard to find, I'm sure people just started to buy projectiles to match their primer/powder stores.

Malarky112 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Yup Black Bullets is the way to go! They even added a UPS option which is awesome and saves the hassle of depending on the USPS. I ordered just over 4000 and they were on my doorstep 6 days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Bullets are one of the more accurate / better quality options and Chandler is always easy to get ahold of when needed. Heck, how many of the others have an owner like @cslafrain ...who regularly posts on Enos? Edited September 30, 2020 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Watson Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 My Xtreme order 9/15 arrived today 9/30. Mailed in time to have arrived 9/25 but the PO dawdled. At least they were better packed and all there. Individual boxes were signed, I assume by the packager. Bayou order still hanging fire. Ordered when stated backlog was 5-6 weeks but 6 weeks is today and they are now saying 8-12 weeks. I'd like to give BBI some business, but they don't make the styles I need.
