I sent in for Hornadys FREE bullet offer after purchasing some dies--for $6.95
they will send you 100 of the bullets they have listed.
I picked the .45 acp 185gr XTP HP.
After 2 mo I e-mailed them " when will I receive them"
They said " business is booming in all Departments -- we will not make a run on these bullets for another few months" "so sorrrrry"--they offered me another bullet--I will wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NICE TO BE MAKING MONEY...............................
 
Well crap. I just ordered 500 free with a press and another 200 for 2-sets of dies. Same bullet. I guess I'll be waiting with you.
 
You would prefer they were going out of business?

Nice to see that just about ALL gun-related manufacturers are having a boom in sales - that sends a message to those who would disarm us

Patience is a virtue
 
This is the problem I have with all the bullet companies right now. They are selling all their high-dollar bullets with the biggest profit margin and are ignoring their not so rich customers. I know, I know, it just capitalism in action but some affordable bullets would be nice. I can't blame them for making as much money as they can but I still feel left out.:mad:
 
I know some of that goes on, but I suspect that in this case it's just production runs and when the next run of the same bullet happens.

I ordered 1000 XTP 185gr .45 bullets with my press rebate that I bought in November last year.
Yes, it took a couple of months, but for the $21 shipping, I'm definitely not complaining!

If patience is a is a pain in the a$$ for you, may I suggest:

1. that you eat more fiber and whole grains; or

2. have your underaged daughter come home with a middle eastern terrorist operative, and announce that he is the father of your unborn grandchild.

I guarantee that #2 will solve all your constipation problems!

Two words for you: MISSOURI BULLET.

Great bullets.
Great prices.
Great service.

@shoney
Does that make you feel better now ????????????????
Or do you own Hornady stock ???????????????????


@mmcsret
No bullet is worth waiting for 3 months........................
 
Maybe you are right on"no bullet is worth waiting 3 months" I just go cast some and I'm in business. I don't use jacketed bullets in handguns. I have a bunch of the J-type projectiles left over from before I learned. probably 5K of various calibers and weights. One of these days I'll givem away!!!!
 
I put in my 20 years on casting
I decided I didn't want to lead up the old bod anymore.
The next 20 years I went to jacketed bullets.
Personal choice........................
 
At my age I might not be around in three months.
Already had one heart attack & three operations to removbe plack.............
You may have lots of time to wait----I DON'T..........................
 
I got lucky.

I got dies for Christmas, sent the stuff in and about 6 weeks, maybe 2 months later got my bullets. Your situation sucks, but I agree with some of the others. Business is booming, our hobby has solid companies and 100 real quality bullets for $7 is fantastic, even if it is slow.
It's easy for me to say this, because I didn't have to wait.:p

For REAL?!?! What does rich have to do with it? If you are THAT poor, perhaps shooting is not a hobby for you. You can always go to any store or a number of on-line places and order what you want
 
I didn't say that I didn't have any 45's---I just don't like waiting when a Co. says they will send you something..................then they want about 4 mo.

I sent my rebate in on 2/10/10 for 500-185gr 45ACP. I called today and the representative told me that they will make a run of these bullets in 3-4 weeks and I could expect my bullets around the first week of June. I don't mind waiting. Where else could you get 500 bullets for $14.95 shipping?
 
@ruger1228

Do you mind if I ask you how much money did you spend on Hornady products to get your 500 bulletd for !4.95 ?
 
I bought a new L N L Press. I had been looking for progressive press, Cabelas had them on sale, plus it was NRA weekend so I got another 10% off. I was going to have spend the money anyway, so I look at the bullets as an added bonus.
