Default Bear Creek Supply moly bullets info

One of the questions I've read many times since getting into reloading a few years ago is "what ever happened to Bear Creek."

Or "they went out of business....their website is gone."

Nope. I am not an employee nor related in any way other than having ordered a handful of times. Here's the current info. Maybe it'll help someone out.

Rumors of Bear Creek's demise while frequent, are greatly exaggerated.

The guy just doesn't advertise, to my knowlege. I believe he is selling all he can make already. No web presence except for numerous posts asking if he is still in business.

I like BC bullets a lot. Good performance at a good price. I get mine at Ranger Doug's in Ramona (gotta order, but usually only takes a day or so) or American Shooting Center in Kearny Mesa.

Lemme look. I MAY have a few around here somewhere...

I read on another forum from someone that contacted him directly, apparently when the ammo shortage hit a few years ago he was so swamped that he started rumors about the demise of his own company, just to slow things down.

There are a couple of local gun shops that stock his product, I have ordered from him directly in the past but I think he is just avoiding small orders lately.

i have been buying from him directly for awhile now. I have had a hard time getting in touch with him as most people have also. I recently found a local guy for me but he also ships. So far so good. It gets to be frustrating leaving messages and never getting calls back so i had to find a back up plan. For anyone that may be interested here is the site. Extreme Ventures Las Vegas

I called and placed an order with Bear Creek directly today. I got right through to them. The 45acp and 38sp I wanted were in stock and will be shipped on Monday. They also have free shipping on all orders over $110.

That is precisely what the owner, Steve, told me too. He simply got so swamped that he faked an out of business to ramp it back.

They are alive and kicking still. I usually simply leave a message and have always had it returned within a day or so.

Placed an order for the Bear Creek bullets from Extreme Ventures, should be here this week. He just started selling them and just has what BC said were best sellers. 9mm, 40 and 45ACP is all that's available now, and limited styles in these. Email them with calibers and styles of BC bullets you'd like, sounds like he'll do what he can to get them. Cheaper than BC direct as well. Sort of like the TJ Conevera/Berry's relationship.
