    No issues. Lead time on my previous orders has been about two weeks.

    Ordered from them years ago. Slow delivery, bullet quality not great, some wrinkles and voids. Matt's Bullets, Bullshop Bullets outstanding quality, Missouri Bullets Excellent, Oregon Trail, Chey-Cast also make excellent bullets.

    It appears that they concentrate mainly on making projectiles for obsolete rounds and in diameters that might work better in very worn barrels. Just as a matter of curiostiy, may I ask for what caliber you are in search of bullets? "Odd" calibers kinda fascinate me.

    I have been in Jon's shop many times and like him. He has used others for his casting needs and hits estates and gun sales often. The majority of his bullets go to large on line retailers, or used to. He doesn't believe in holding your hand and updating where you are at on your order. I think he does a good job for a fair price.

    I have used them recently. I ordered some 41 Long Colt bullets and some 38 Long Colt bullets. No issues, both were shipped a day or two after the orders.

    Two new to me rifles. A 40-65 and a 45-70. Want to try some bullets before ordering molds. Would also like to try some heavier bullets in a 38-55. I cast two bullets now that are both around 250 gr. Would also like to try paper patching.

    Western bullet is good just a bit quirky I hear. Don’t mess with them. If not in stock contact them once. Don’t try to change order and wait patiently. They have always been good to me!

    I ordered from him, never got the product or a phone call. I tried several times to communicate. Eventually, I had VISA refund my money. I do not think he should be able to advertise a product that he can not or will not deliver.

    I am pretty satisfied with my dealings with them
    Small company lot's of orders
    On that note my order took 3 weeks from the time I ordered to the day of delivery.
    In the meantime I received 2 emails the first one confirmed the order and the second. Notification of completion and packing.
