Where are the custom 30BR bullets?

[lrgoodger]

I have standing orders with Ronnie Cheek and Randy Robinett for 1000 each 118 grain 30BR bullets since last July. Neither have come through. I heard the makers had gotten their jackets over the winter. What gives?

Did you hear that from the makers, or a rumor from elsewhere?

Maybe there's been a run on loading blackouts, seems to be why we can't find 30 cal Varmageddons

J4 Jackets were nonexistent for everyone for awhile.
YES "custom" bullet makes did get some.
But I would think they are still short of their "normal" amounts, and are waiting for more.
I would also venture a guess that they tried to obtain jackets from other suppliers like Sierra.
And that those orders have also gone only partially filled or not at all.

You might have made your order in July, but how many people and what quantities were/are ahead of you...?

Sorry, but better to be in the queue than not at all.

...better to be in the queue than not at all.

I just had a new custom 30BR built and I can't even get on the list to buy any BIB's. I will say the Bergers 115's are showing me some good results, but those (or the Sierra 110's) aren't in the same league as the BIB's.

Randy is starting to ship some. He sent me an invoice by mail and said they would be shipped within 10 days of receipt of payment. Donna then verified by email when my check arrived.

Also, I think Jim Eazor (EPS Bullets) is shipping his 118s.

Fortunately I bought several thousand a few years ago. I heard Bart was making jackets.
