I drove down to Expansion Industries in Lynchburg, VA while in Virginia and purchased my powder and some S&B primers. The fella in the red shirt, Bob, is the owner.
Their complete operation is in one room at a small strip mall office complex
* Note that each of the individuals has a laptop in front of them. Presume each works on the Internet orders
* Asked the fella at the rear of the picture, whose powder they were selling: "We buy it from an international laboratory." Is it Maxum? No reply
* I asked why the increase in price from $16 to $18 dollars. Was told because we were loosing money. When I gave the fella in the back my credit card, he put a Square card in his cell phone and swiped my card. Square charges 2.5% for each Credit card transaction. So their increase in price covered each Square fee plus shipping
* I asked the guys to use their bathroom cause I had a full bladder from the drive. Bob, the owner, quickly replied ... "The owners of the office only allow employees to use the restroom" Ya sure ... and no doubt the rest room area is their supply room with empty plastic containers and bulk powder where they repackage it into their powder jugs for sale
* On the wall they had targets for each of the ETR7 calibers list. The target groups were all shot at less than 25 feet
* Under the targets on shelves - they had an ample supply of their powders, primers and ammunition

Overall, the fellas were friendly with the conversation I had with them - said Good Bye and was one my way

On the window of their one room, Suite B office, was listed also... We Buy Gold plus Firearms Permits Issued

Small businesses have to start someplace. Good luck to them, maybe in 20 years they will be the same size as Hodgdon.

Hodgdon started in the surplus powder business. Look at them now.
Good luck to these gentlemen.

I have shot a lot of loads in 9mm thru 45LC and 223/30-30 plinking with this stuff. TiteGroup load data is very close. Cleanest I have ever used. No complaints. More power (and powder) to them as a small business, The company I own is a small engineering business. Guys like us are the backbone of this nation.

Just ordered more powder from them now that it is back in stock.

Stay away from this company!!!!!

I bought 1000 rds of ammunition on 4/23/16 at the Dulles gun show. They were offering a good price however you could only pay in cash. Uncharacteristic of me, I fell for their con job and placed an order. It is now 3 mos later I have yet received my order. I have tried to contact the company over 100 times via phone and the website. No one answers, their phone goes to voice mail and the website contact goes to a black hole.

I filed a claim with the BBB but the company does not respond, incidentally, they have an F rating with the BBB. My only recourse at this time is to file in small claims and to warn others. Buyer beware!

I placed an order in December 2015, got nothing but a runaround on the order, but they processed my credit cardreally fast. Finally had to stop paymenton my credit card, they never replied to anything after that. Poorly run business, with extremely poorcustomer service. Nothing but excuses time and time again... I will never purchase from them again.

Powder good, company not so much. Ive posted on them before. Float a great price and charge your card and a few weeks later call you to say they need to charge you shipping cause "they cant fix the website to show it is not included". My 4yr old granddaughter can update a website.

Use Powder Valley, 3rd Generation, Grafs etc. Too many good companies out there to waste time with this bait and switch operation.

This is not a company to do business with. Bait and switch as described above, double billing, sent me LR primers instead of LP. They told me they never had LR primers to sell, baloney. Would not resolve it. These people are snake oil salesmen.

My experience with them was horrible as well!! I refuse to do business with companies that have integrity problems, there are too many to do business with that do have integrity. It just boggles my mind when companies don't understand customer service is everything in acheiving long term success.

I have had nothing but excellent service from them on 3 orders. Too bad they are going that way. Customer support and service are key today.

Excellent clean burning powder....the best I have ever used. I just hope they wise up and shape up - - - as they provide an excellent product.

W/ powder being available again why would anyone even bother w/ them? They happened to acquire a large quantity at an opportune time. They then blew their chance to establish themselves as a reputable business.

Prospector Howard
07-30-2016, 11:46 AM
Besides the poor customer service, who is actually making the powder? Is it being made with the type of care and expertise that the large trusted companies that have been producing powder for decades are doing? What if there is a bad mix, and they just say, oh well and don't do a recall? Who compensates you for blowing up your gun or burning your house down? Personally, I don't think it's worth the risk, but one guy on here thinks it's the BEST POWDER EVER and says so EVERY time there is a discussion on it; which seems very odd to me.

dragon813gt
07-30-2016, 12:12 PM
There is no need to worry about the quality of the powder. It's simply a relabel job on their part. They don't make it.

07-30-2016, 01:06 PM
ETR7 is Maxam CSB-1. All this information is out there. A lot of it on this very forum. There are only a select few smokeless powder manufacturers.

Prospector Howard
07-30-2016, 01:29 PM
Thanks, dragon. As I recall Maxam is big in the shotgun shell arena. I never needed to go looking for new pistol powders as I stocked up on Bullseye and Unique before the madness and didn't need to research replacements.

This is what I have found as well, and from all I can tell it *is* a great powder. But again, we aren't in shortage situation anymore and poor customer service rarely gets repeat business. If they had their act together I'd be sitting on 16lbs right now instead of 0.

The powder is fine and use Titegroup data to start. It's a little slower than Titegroup but not much. I don't care for the business end and won't buy from them again. Others may have better luck with them than I did. It left a bad taste in my mouth and the powder, after the shipping charge, was not any cheaper than buying Titegroup itself.

These guys are a joke. Have tried to do business with them several times and same results. What makes it really bad is the owner (Richie Smissen) claims to be a Christian and even was the speaker at a men's event I went to. He shared a good message, but then you find out how the guy really is... Completely blew his testimony with all kinds of people. Stay away from these guys. Bad news....

10-04-2016, 04:30 PM
I have mulled ordering from them, but factoring in the shipping and hazmat it only makes sense if I order in quantity, and that is a tough sell for an untested product from a company with somewhat a mixed customer service review. That and I think I have like 8# of genuine Titegroup and same in Unique so can't find any good reason to spend the money for pistol and I'm good on rifle powder similar to theirs.

Glad the shortage is over, and I bet during shortage there were at least some people that were really glad to get some of that Expansion Industries powder. Not factoring in CC fees was silly, as is not having the web site work to calculate full order.

It's funny that you say that when you look at their website they only list Large Pistol And Small Pistol and no Rifle primers.

Are they still blaming the website for that issue? It could've been fixed easily if they chose. I sat for 6 weeks waiting for an order before I issued a charge back, couldn't even get a refund from them. Won't be bothering to try again.

It's really too bad, as it is a very good powder. Hopefully when the need arises, i can get some of the CSB powder from another vendor and use it in its place. The customer service side of Expansion has unfortunately sealed its fate, I think. WAY too many people having to resort to charge backs to get refunded after non delivery and no response from the company.

I'm also interested in whether they have "fixed" their website yet or not. Since it has been the best part of a year if they have not then that confirms my impression of a bait and switch operation.

Looks like they are at least notifying customers now. Not sure why this hasn't been fixed on the shopping cart as every other powder seller I know has this built in.

per website " We will call and have to charge a separate 28.50 hazmat charge per DOT regulations"

Saw a mention of it on a Facebook reloading group, and for whatever reasons, the Expansion website has been turned off with only an under construction page at the front. Wondering if they are really reworking, or if their reputation finally caught up to them?

They have an F rating with the BBB.

http://www.bbb.org/western-virginia/business-reviews/ammunition-and-reload-equipment-and-supplies/expansion-industries-llc-in-evington-va-90008290/

BBB files indicate that this business has a pattern of complaints concerning delay in delivery of products ordered and non delivery of products ordered. Consumers report no response to emails or voice mails when attempting to contact the company. The company has failed to respond to the majority of complaints forwarded by the BBB. On July 7, 2016 and July 21, 2016 BBB sent letters requesting the firm address the pattern of complaints. To date, we have not received a response from Expansion Industries.

I posted on their new Facebook and got the following response



Hey Derek thanks for the post on the page! ETR7 orders were either fulfilled or money was returned or guys/galls charged back on their credit cards and have received their money. I double checked to see that you had already got your money back and that we did not owe you anything. We arent selling powder currently and it doesnt look like we will be in the near future. We had a lot of issues with fulfilling orders and getting backed up on components and so we shut things down for a while and fixed all our in house issues. We got new machines and moved our location out to texas in Dallas and we are now only selling brand new brass ammunition. Cards are charged when shipped. So a lot of good things are happening. I apologize if you had a bad experience was not our intention. We are not selling as a new name rather our trade name as ATF has directed us to. Hope this answers some of your questions! Have a great week

dragon813gt
09-18-2017, 05:19 PM
Time will tell. The move is the suspicious part. Why not buy new machines and set them up in the current location? Lots of money saved by doing that. I have a hard time taking them for their word at this point.

In the shortage I placed an order for 4 - 4lb jugs, besides charging me immediately nothing every came of my order. I tried calling and got the song and dance about adding hazmat though the holiday I purchased was advertised as "free shipping". When they wouldn't do a refund I told chase and they took care of me. Learned my lesson about always using a credit card for online purchases rather than debit/bank transfer. You get much better protection that way.

I agree. Horrible to do business with them. Never again!

But I still have 20lbs of ETR-7 left from a bulk purchase that took FOREVER to get. Dang if that stuff isnt great in 147gr 9MM and light 357 Mag & 44 Mag. Burns clean and cool for USPSA shooting. I will be sad when it runs out.

Will never purchase from them under any name.

Post by Richie Smisson from a private fb group- "Hey folks! First I've seen this group, I'm sorry I didn't know about it sooner. First things first Im the National Marketing Director for Expansion Ammunition, I also ran our marketing and branding when we were Expansion Industries. Now I know alot of you are upset, rightly so If I paid for product and never received it I'd be mad too. I can't change what had happened, were were in our infancy as a company and long story short we sold way faster then our factory could produce when we were located in Virginia. Now, having learned our lesson, we shut down for the better part of a year specifically to deal with our production issues and quality issues. I've seen words like crooks, thieves, and other colorful language to describe us. I get it, and a year ago we admit we made mistakes, its why we shut down, and moved so that we could be a better company and learn from our mistakes. Now I wasn't in charge at all of refunds or sending out late product, I can't change how that process was handled then but I can do my best to make it better now. So, if you legitimately never got a refund, and you never got the product you paid for, nows your chance to have us take care of it now. From a clerical perspective alot of folks who claimed to not receive product already got refunds and free product in most cases. If a few of you still haven't been serviced and legitimately have an issue please please private message me and I will do what I can to fix it to the best of my abilities. If I can't fix your problem I will find someone who can. We really aren't bad folks, we are a family business and we def made a mistake Im not denying that. So please private message me! I'd rather this not become some slug fest in the comment section but I got to play the ball where it's at now. Thanks"

during my "wait" for product, which was about 4 months, I talked to the supposed owner several times and he never came across as sincere, rather more like it was my fault and they might take care of it when they got around to it. had multiple conversations with multiple staff there and everyone just played "pass the puck" so the BS about just a small family business that made some mistakes don't pass the smell test.

Got this email from them this afternoon... Wonder if they learned anything from last time. I'm not sure I am willing to risk it at this point.


Edited to add:
Price is very poor ($65/4lb, $18.50/1lb), and hazmat ($28.50) is not even close to competitive compared to most places right now...


===========================

"Hi, my name is Lucas and I am with Expansion Ammunition. You are receiving this email because you have bought powder from us in the past. OUR ETR7 IS BACK IN STOCK!!!! There have been quite a few changes since we had our website stocked with powder. We have secured supply lines and now will have a steady supply to sell on our website again. We have partnered with Rio Ammunition to repackage their powder. Our ETR7 is the same exact stuff we sold back in the day we are just now allowed to say who it is from. We have extensive load data being developed currently but we have all of our load data from the past as well. The ETR7 Pistol Powder can load anything from a 380 up to a 44mag. We are also going to be releasing our EMC77 rifle powder and a brand new ESG8 shotgun powder in the near future. We are just waiting for our testing to come back for our load data.

But ETR7 is in stock and all orders will ship out next business day of the date of your order. Price for a 4lb container is $65 dollars and then shipping and hazmat. Our hazmat is now working on our website so you will know exactly what the charge is to your door at the checkout. We have corrected a lot of our mistakes from the past with shipping delays and inventory management. If you had a problem with a past order feel free to message me and I can help you out any way I can. Due to this being an exciting day for us here at Expansion we are also adding a 5% off coupon code put in ETR75 into checkout when you are logged on and you will receive an extra 5% off your entire order.

We can take orders over the phone or you can go to our website at https://expansion-ammunition.com/powder.html and place your order.

Feel free to reach out with any questions and we look forward to servicing you in the future

Sincerely

Lucas Smissen

Looking back at an old order of their ETR7 powder I received, their location was/is in Carrolton TX, so I feel this is the same company.

All the powder I ordered from them arrived in a week and is an excellent performing product.

I wish them well. We certainly need more primers at a reasonable cost today!

They seem to be AT LEAST; under the same ownership.

To bad the company and people have a sketchy history. How hard is it to be honest and put the customers FIRST?
