Do not buy your reloading components here

Post by jolly bill »

I believe this can be considered "Technicana" so will post this warning.

I posted this on the PGCA site, but some may not peruse that site.

A friend of mine sent me a link to Handloading Supply in Surprise AZ that has a lot of powder and primers in stock at great prices.

Here: https://handloadingsupply.com/

Various discussions on the web recommend extreme caution as they may be scams.

Their physical "location" in Surprise AZ looks like a residence. The FFL # listed is issued to MAC ARMS LLC at that address.

Return merchandise has to be sent to Garden City KS.

The big clue is payment has to be made via Venmo or Zelle. I think you might be able to pay via a credit card but then, they have your CC # and you have to get a new card after they have used it.

There are very likely others out there too.

Just a heads up.

Others I have experienced as clear scams for reloading supplies are Doddle and Optics and Ammo. This last one has been going for a long time and I don't see how the cops have not shut him down. Another which appears similar is something like "Reloading." When you do a web search for some component and no one has it except these guys, beware. Optics and Ammo is especially egregious as they have very nice and convincing pictures and layout. I always check their BBB ratings before ordering if I have not orderred from them before.Caveat Emptor.
