Default Don't try to buy your reloading components here

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.

Just a heads up.

They had Clays for less than $20@pound if you got 8 pounders . It hasn’t been that price in five years I think . That unto itself is a HUGE red flag .

There are a lot of scam sites out there.

Think about it. If your local small or large gun shop doesn't have or can't get an item, or the major big box places like Cabela's or Sportsman's Warehouse can't get items or are on long backorder, or places like Midway, USA don't have it, why would an on-line site suddenly have everything, or every model and caliber in stock ready to ship? At great prices too!

Also look closely at these sites. Misspelled words, bad grammar, and a writing style that Americans typically do not use are good indicators of a scam or fraud website.

It's sort of like that guy with the funny accent who calls claiming to be from the IRS. You owe back taxes and must pay with gift cards, or they will come and arrest you.

It's sad and sounds ridiculous but people fall for it.
