This is private label, put together for us by a well known manufacturer.

Don't know if it was asked but does the price include shipping?

I didn't order because I don't shoot much any more and I am very well stocked w ammo.

I hope you don't mind if I post this story that seems germane.

Manufacturers Say Ammo Shortage Will Stretch Out for Years

“On certain products, we are certainly seeing backlogs that stretch out two years and beyond,” Brett Flaugher, president of Winchester Ammunition, told The Reload. “For those who shoot 9mm and 5.56 ammunition, which are both in high demand, it’s very uncertain how long it will be before people will consistently have ammunition readily available.”

“I’m looking at two and a half years’ worth of demand already on order,” Jason Hornady, vice president of Hornady Manufacturing Company, told The Reload. “So, I’m not seeing a slowdown for two and a half years.”

Thanks so much for posting that article! My local clays group has a high volume dealer account with Fiocchi and my rep was looking at a 3 year backlog on metallic cartridges. I really appreciate everyone digging deep and supporting this project so we can get an initial order in and then hopefully build a pipeline of 100 round or 250 round boxes on a regular basis to support the forum’s collective shooting habits.

Invoices went out this evening (thanks Belwolf and dzozer for letting me know they hadn’t gone out yet) and we finally got Zelle sorted out, so now comes ordering the ammunition and waiting for the supplier to carry us across the finish line.

I’ll keep posting updates here and would ask that you do the same!

I don’t think Zelle is sorted out. Tried paying that way and Chase cancelled the payment and locked me out of my account until I can get hold of customer service. Will try another method.

I had very similar issues. Had to go the PayPal route.

I have never used Zelle before but my local bank advertised Zelle as a benefit if you download their app. I tried but the transaction limit was exceeded, so I went with P.P.

I used Venmo last night and it worked just fine.
