	I've purchased from them in the past, no problems that I can recall.

	I bought from them as well, but the 25 cal bullets I used have been out of stock for a long time.

	Great bullets, but they can be out of stock on a very frequent basis. That situation became worse during the “shortages” and Covid and has never really gone back to what they once were capable of.

	Their RCBS 25CM bullet is still out of stock. It shot extremely well in my 25-20 single shot Stevens 44. I bought the RCBS mold but have never been able to cast any that shoot as well as theirs. They don't list the alloy, but non-scientific testing seems to show it as Lyman #2, but my mold still won't do as well even with 'genuine' Lyman alloy. Maybe it is the blue lube. Jack

	They actually make good bullets but having them in stock is the issue. Jerry

	I might just call them next week and ask about the bullet I want. When I was looking for C&H 30 Wesson dies, every online seller said no stock even C&H. I decided to call them to try and put a set on back order, but the lady said "I think we have a set in the back" and sure enough they did. You would think a company would try and keep its website up to date, but without some sort of software inventory system feeding the web that is tied to sales, that can be a daunting task. Software that does that is not cheap! Jack

	Does Anyone have a phone number for this place? Exactly what I thought would happen did. Placed my order and nothing. It's been over a month I've sent 5 emails without a single reply. Thought I'd ask here for contact before I just have the charge disputed and get my money back

	I ended up with some #2 alloy to play with in my RCBS mold so I didn't try to contact them. Yelp lists their phone number as (406) 728-4801 Jack

	I purchased several different bullets from them a few years ago, they were delivered in a timely manner, but they were all oversized from what they were supposed to be sized at.

	I bought a batch from Western a couple of years ago. Slow delivery and nil communications. I buy from The Bullshop now. Good bullets, he'll custom cast in your alloy if desired. Last time he still wasn't doing credit cards. Mail him a check or money order; by the time it gets there your bullets will be ready.
