TCLouisThem OEM bullets
Has anyone received their order yet?
Since there was a special note of with name that would appear on the charge, I am assuming they are being drop shipped.
Shucks, I had plans to send some downrange this weekend!
I guess I am spoiled by Midsouth's service, order before noon and it is usually here the next day!

Got my order today and the invoice is from Midsouth......don't know about any different name on the charge? Wish I had bought more of the 270 grain 375 cal. bullets!!!

<El Viejo>I was told two weeks when I ordered.

TCLouisOk, I'll go harass smallmouth and red-eyes this weekend instead of shooting.
That is if the river doesn't dry up and blow away!

John FrazerI got mine Tuesday -- about 5 days after ordering. A heavy box but when unpacked it didn't look like that many bullets ... should've bought more!
On second thought it did look like a lot of bullets because the 150-gr. .270s had split their bag and were *everywhere* in the box. What a mess.
Good thing I can take all my non-ammo UPS shipments at the office, the driver here would hate me.

larrysI got confirmation of mine being shipped today. I don't remember exactly which name they use on the charge, but it is not Midsouth. Never is.

SteveWent home for lunch and found 48lb of bullets on the front step. Plan on thumbing through the catalog they included later this afternoon.
Take Care,

redialI'm starting to get concerned, myself. No confirmation (as others mentioned), no boo-lits, nada. Just a bill on my credit card statement in an amount I don't recognize. I'm going to go check my PO box this afternoon thinking maybe they sent it to the billing address rather than the shipping address. If it ain't there, I'll call and bug 'em. Curious to know what they shipped, too.

StonecreekI just got a confirmation and notice of shipping (UPS) yesterday (8-14), while my order was placed on 8-5 I believe. They've apparently been pretty overwhelmed, but I'll forgive 'em if the bullets show up by Friday.

PathfinderI haven't heard a word either. It does look like they're being shipped so maybe next week. I hope soon. I'd like to try some in the 375 h&h to get some more practice in before month end.

TCLouisGot my confirmation one evening and the square brown santamobile came the next day and left a stack of boxes in my driveway VERY CLOSE to his truck door.
Had to shoot something so I tried one of the 160 grainers into a gallon jug of water out of the 357 max . . .
Yahoo it blew the jug up with authority and broke up the concrete block it was sitting on!
Looks like expansion of about 1/2 inch!
Then confirmation of order being shipped arrived that night, oh oh, did I go crazy?
Next day another rather heavy box 1200 357/358 bullets.
Little square brown truck driver is glad I ran out of money!

Dang maybe if I spend my gambling and beer money I could afford one more order . . . <LOL>

LongbobI received the order I placed via the web that was placed 4 days after the order placed via the telephone. The telephone order was placed on August 8th and still hasn't arrived.
These have to be a great deal. If they are blems, I cannot figure out what the blem was. They "look" the same as the boxed Hornadys.

<El Viejo>I weighed about 30 of the 55gr Vmax, found about 4 that were .2gr out of spec. Other than that, I can find no blems either.
