I've ordered powder and bullets dozens of times. Read the description. If they don't meet your standards don't order them. If marked "heavy pull marks" and that leaves you wondering, don't buy them. I can tell you that the LOS bullets are new product, that is virgin, not pulls. The FMJ are jacketed , the TMJ are plated.
LOS manufacturing
Be careful, the description may say "New Product", meaning it's a new offering to their inventory, but they may still be pulled bullets.
I have had several fraudulent charges on my card, but I can't say it was from AR. I now pay by check only, just to be safe. I just have to wait a few extra days for them to ship.
Yes, when you place your order, it's locked up. The merchandise is reserved for you, as they await payment. (If you take five weeks to pay, I don't know, if they'll cancel the order. I send payment within a day or two and never had issues.)
TBH, a slight crimp mark on the bullet doesn't alter my marksmanship skills.
I have used the 175gr SMKs, Terminal Match, 125gr Copper, 230 gr LOS FMJ, 158gr LOS FMJ RNFP, HSTs, V-Crowns, Visual Glows and others; not to mention about a half dozen of the MP powders.
