Is the Indiana Bullet Company still around? Went to the web sight and it won't load just wondering if they were still in business..

I'd never heard of them so I used my Google-fu and found this. INDIANA BULLET CO Quality bullets CAST BULLETS FREE SHIPPING

Website came up for me... I may have to poke around and see if I see anything I like. I like the idea of a local, IN based company.

Do a search on here...some like them, some have had issues with them. Mainly delivery...not sure on actual quality of the product.

I like them. Never had any quality issues with their products (45 acp, .38/.357 and 9mm). As for delivery, I placed my last order around 6 p.m. one evening and they were knocking on my door at 8 a.m. the next morning with that order (they've got a shop just about a mile and a half from me though ).

Went to it just now and it came up must have been down for updates...

I thought I saw them at the last 1500.

Bought a few things from them. Met the son at Profire one day also. I've heard people had problems with shipping also. But from what i understand is they had some equipment issues and a backlog. Plus last i remember it was just 2 people (son/father). The quality is good.Never had a problem out of any (.380/9mm/.40)

I had a Quality Problem, they replaced the whole order. Stand up company.

You are correct, they were at the 1500. However no one was at the table when I went past. So they are still around.

i stopped in 2months ago. i think they said that they were going to be moving north 2 or 3 blocks in September.

Bullets are decent, and I like that I can pick them up if needed. Customer service is usually good but can be a bit flaky.

Called the other day looking for 147gr 9mm and Mitch didn't know if they had any in stock. Took my number to call me back in "a few minutes" and never heard from him. The next day I stopped in Profire and picked up a box from Andrew who was aware of his inventory. Funny part is, they were still IBC bullets.

I had not heard of them, Thanks for the heads up.

I will attempt to support them simply because they are local.

I plan to order some 357, 44 and 45 in the next week. Nice to see a local source!

 

[d30carls]

i know they were moving during the last 1500 so they may be out of stock on a few thing for a while until they get back up and going

Honestly, I will give up timely expectation at times, allowing them to move and expand their business capability, just to support a LOCAL Dad and Son business.

I might support them, if the move results in better quality bullets. So far, what I have seen in their bullets has been less than crap.

Well that just makes me want to get an order on the way, as soon as I am in need.

Not wanting to start a popcorn worthy scenario, here, but what was "less than crap" about their quality?

Do, please, expound upon your comment for everyones benefit.

The only thing ever "wrong" with any of the nearly 10,000 IBC bullets I've loaded has been a bit of excess lube that is easy to pick off as you set the bullet in the brass. Buy with confidence. They aren' t "match grade" by any means, I've seen the weights vary by a few 10th's of a grain here or there, but nothing 99% are likely to notice performance wise.

Hell, just went back over the entire thread and there was no link to the sight.

... and just so that we all get this straight, I have never done business with these people (YET!), nor am I affiliated with them in any way. I just like to see small local businesses doing well!

Sounds reasonable.

Thank you for your input.

Honestly, pal, I have to admit to having a real difficulty with a single snipe thrown to the entire class with nothing more to back it up.

Please, describe what "crap" you have had to deal with regarding these guys!?!

All I want to know about is a LOCAL company that can supply fairly cheap bullets. Can you tell me more about why we should not support this company or not?

I have waited for you to offer more.

Now, I am asking you.
