Just4FunLP Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Anyone heard from Bayou Bullets lately? I placed an order almost 4 months ago and haven't heard from them. They didn't reply to the message I sent in their contact system and their phone has a busy signal. I only tried once, so I'll defiantly try again. They're probably just swamped, but I thought I'd ask. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I just received a February order last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just4FunLP Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Awesome! Man, they’re waaaay behind on their shipping. I tried contacting them by email and on their website again today, so maybe I’ll get a reply. I’ve been using them since the last ammogedon. I’m sure they’ll get it figured out. I just want to make sure I’m still n the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time spent answering people is time that could have been used to make bullets and do shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ysrracer Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I ordered mid April, still waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Damn, too bad none of you live up here in the MA/RI area. I over ordered last year and now have 5+ cases of their 9mm/124 gr RN that I’m selling at last years prices. I ain’t shipping, though, so you’d have to come to me. -Cuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jejb Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Just as an FYI. RMR has mostly caught up and is shipping quickly right now. Nothing against Bayou, I've been happy with them in that past also. But if you need them quickly, this is another option. https://www.rmrbullets.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoidtruth Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Yeah, my last bayou order suddenly got a "shipped" email about 4+ months after ordering, so you are probably still good. snscasting does have 125gr RN if you get too close for comfort.

firewood Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Assume 20-24 weeks lead time. Coated lead bullets are a complicated manufacturing process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Bayous long wait time has a bit to do with their policy of not limiting how many bullets you order. While many other manufacturers were (and still are) limiting you to 1 case, Bayou let you order as many as you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lll Otto lll Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 ^^ That has little to do with Bayou ignoring emails from their paying customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightj75 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I've recently started using summit city bullets and they are great if anyone needs an alternative. All my orders have shipped within a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just4FunLP Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 These look good. They have a beveled base. I wonder how well they run using a Mr. Bullet Feeder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightj75 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 They work well in the Mr bulletfeeder I actually emailed and asked that question they did have a coupon active Discord5 for 5% and I think freeshipping on orders of over $66 or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrell Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Bayou Bullets is local to me. They had issues with casting machines and not having reliable employee's. They are cranking out bullets as fast as they can. Most of the machines are up and running now, but they really need a couple of more to keep up with demand. Bayou's are a great bullet and is the original coated bullet and I noticed that some of the coated bullet offering from other manufacturers are not the quality you get from Bayou. DG bullets and Brazos Bullets are two of the top I recommend. The sudden surge since Covid has impacted orders from everyone, primers being the hardest component to get right now, and prices have more than doubled on primers.
