The surplus and pulled bullets and powder I buy comes from Wideners. It is the best place or me to get 50 BMG plinking supplies. Plus I am an hour and ten minutes from their store, so it helps if I have a large order to just go pick it up and save hazmat shipping.
So far I am not happy with Wideners! The site won't let me login and they are not replying to me emails??
I guess they don't care much once they have your cash? LOL
Heck all I wanted to do was buy more stuff and have it shipped with this order! I sent the email minutes after placing the order and now the order has processed without even replying telling me that they can't add anything to the order!

I havn't been able to keep up with Wideners's Web page either. But the telephone works everytime for me since 1981.
If they're out of almost everything it stands to reason they're busy enough a delay in email is attributable to the same reasons. When I run into situations like this, I like to take a deep breath and relax. It helps me to remember this is not the matrix, I am not The One, and from time to time I have to stand in a line, or otherwise wait my turn.
I called today and even though the order won't even ship till next Monday I can't add anything to the order. Yes they are busy but............ I am not upset about it all. After all it was me that forgot to add the bullets to the order to begin with.
This being a "Holiday" week I will cut them some slack but, I will more then likely order from my normal sources in the future.

Jimro, Yes the games in the sandbox will wind down one day, but none of the surplus ammo will be demilled to make components available to us. According to what I have read from several sources, Clinton changed the rules after the Talon debacle and all surplus ammo now is burned/blown up and not allowed to be demilled. Hopefully CMP will get some of it to sell but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for components.
I understand there are small lots of LC ammo demilled by the government contractor if it doesn't meet their requirements, but the large-scale quantities of powder and bullets I believe are a thing of the past. I hope I'm wrong about this.

Is that what happened to Hi-Tech? Government? I used to buy a lot from them but lately the link takes me right to outofstock.com
Medalguy, whatever you read about powder not being demilled and sold is wrong. You can check the .gov auction site online and occasionally you'll see demilled powder come up. Spent brass is plentiful. Last time I saw an auction for powder the quantities listed was on the order of 30 tons, back in 2008. Haven't checked much since then.
