Got an e-mail from the shipping dept of a hi-tek bullet making company named after the state it resides in.
Was looking for l.t.c. info.

hmmm I placed an order over a week ago but they haven’t shown me a shipping notice yet.
I put an order for 100 180's .40 to play around with from the place in Louisiana on 8/2.
Nothin yet, massive backlog.
Website does say 5-6 weeks.
Sucks. Did you email them asking for a status update?And here I am still waiting for my Blues.. if I didn't have so much money wrapped up in this order I'd just buy elsewhere. Supposedly Sept. 13th for a order placed July 3rd. Probably won't be buying from them again until shit cools down.
I did, that's when I was told mid September. I'm curious if they're giving priority to "sponsored" shooters because when I ordered it was 4-6 weeks and it didn't change to 12-14 until my 4-6 was almost up. Oh well, I have other 9mm to load in the mean time anyways.Sucks. Did you email them asking for a status update?
they don't charge you until the order is shipped. no harm no foul if you cancel.if I didn't have so much money wrapped up in this order I'd just buy elsewhere.
I was charged two days after placing my order, only reason I've been riding it out. I had to double check but I just checked my account to confirm.they don't charge you until the order is shipped. no harm no foul if you cancel.
jeez...yeah, understand now. i have a substantial order in myself, i'm into wk 5 or close to it. last time i checked, it hadn't shown up on the cc site. that was 10 days ago. i was working under the assumption that if i saw a charge they were close to shipping. as usual i'm wrong again. i better check again this morning. i was thinking of going somewhere else myself. i had planned for a mid to late september delivery.I was charged two days after placing my order, only reason I've been riding it out.

I hate to be that guy but the poster but @LuvDog is correct. Mine were supposed to arrive on Friday, USPS says they will arrive "late".I ordered a case of .45 bullets from Black Bullets 2 days ago. I got an email from USPS the next day. They're due here on Tuesday. We'll see.
No bullets yesterday and the USPS notice that said they'd be here on Sept 1 has been removed. Now it says they're on the way but will be late.
Same happened to me.No bullets yesterday and the USPS notice that said they'd be here on Sept 1 has been removed. Now it says they're on the way but will be late.
Who do they think they are CMP!I got a couple free samples packs of Zero 147 gr JHPs and FMJFPs coming. Not nearly as cheap as the blue bullets.
As long as my blue bullets come before winter rolls around I’ll be okay. But since my order they bumped it to 14 weeks. Dang.

Yes, I saw that. I dont know if all the nationals are this month, but no way that is the reason. Not all buy from one company, and even if one company had to supply bullets to 300 guys all of the sudden, I would imagine that is a small percentage of customers.Place in the Bayou down there in Louisiana now has 8-12 weeks as a backlog on their website.
Aren't all the National's this month?
I would buy them if they were 160-165 grain. I shoot .357 and .358 in my 9mm.A friend of mine posted last week in our local shooting group - he accidentally ordered blue .38/.357s when he meant to order 9mm's.
Oops. Offering them for his cost. I picked up two boxes from him yesterday at a match, 65$ for each box of 1200.
I have ~2500 .38/.357 plated 125 grn from XTreme on hand; I've been happy with them.
Be interesting to see how the blue bullets compare.

I think the problem is everyone started seeing lead time increase and everyone started ordering a lot.
are we waiting for another round of covid ammo stimulus checks?I was thinking ammo and components shortages in general.

Between first time buyers and all the games running over the summer or peak season, with most of the finals coming and going, demand may start to slow down.
Here it is almost 24 hours later and theres still some ammo on target sports that a few weeks ago would have been gone in 20 mins. Not popular stuff, but it wouldn't have lasted more than an hour.
