We had a bad business transaction and then I took offense to his trying to change history with a ton of excuses. I don't understand why he calls me a shill. I don't have a personal relationship with any of the bullet makers who sell here or other forums. He makes a lot of accusations without basis and seems to escalate every discussion to a fever pitch.
I really didn't think saying I couldn't comment on him or I would get yelled at again would have started all this "stuff" over again. I really didn't say anything to or about him to warrant this lever of craziness.
Lee, as for posting 4 hours after you made your post, I was replying to his post with quotes before I read your post. I seriously didn't think he would go ballistic by me saying what I said in Post #53. I didn't say anything about his bullets in this thread but he seems to like fighting with me...
Disrupting this forum was not my intent and for that I am sorry...
You say you had a bad buisness transaction but you never say what that bad transaction is or provide any proof that there ever was a transaction. The only thing you ever said to me in the PM was that your order took almost a year to get.
I really doubt that but as I have stated on the web site from day one was that certain speciality bullets may only be run once a year so if that was the case it wasn't a bad transaction just a long one.
If it upset you that much then you most certainly could have e-mailed me and requested a date of production or you could have cancelled the order or even if you forgot about it and changed your mind after you got it I would have taken it back and credited your account. No muss or fuss.
I seriously question that you ever did buisness with me as the one common theme of complaints against the company has been the length of time some orders took to get filled. While that would have been an easy factual thing to say thats not what you say. Instead you make genralised negative remarks over and over and over again.
Your continued harrasing here is also done on other forums as well with two other posters that are schills and have never done buisness with me but never pass up the chance to post whatever deragotory remarks whenever they can and they are strong supporters of another company. Most recently the last incident which happened within the last two months on another forum was ended by the mod who told one of these posters they would be banned if they ever did it again. He has slammed the door on that one.
It points to a pattern that indicates you are just one of them with an agenda to hurt me and the company. Thats why I don't believe you.
Many of the issues of lateness were addressed by seperating the speciality bullets from the regular production line and producing and shipping them seperate from the orders with regular production bullets. In addtion a 1500 ft expansion and relocation of the foundry next to the production shop last year and the purchase of new truck and addtional employees have increased our speed of orders to where the number of orders that are in long delays is down to literally less than 10 orders per 6 months out of thousands of orders. The most common three words that new customers say when they get their bullets---"Worth the wait"
I also find it curious that when primers could not be had for almost a year by many or certain bullets were unavailable from Hornaday for 8 months nobody started posting derogatory statements about them.
Does this mean I am held to some different standard?
I have said it many times before but no one wants to believe it. Its not an excuse and I'm not changing history.
The number of closings of bullet casters across the country a few years back left a huge shortfall of cast bullets in the marketplace and as one of the major players in the field as it were we got slammed. I addresed those issues as I outlined above and when you couple that with the general gun buying panic that we have been going thru the last few years it hasn't gotten any better.
Even MB got so slammed that it eventually happend to them and they closed to new customers untill they could address the situation yet at the same time I only saw a few threads that questioned the delays and none of them were filled with the comments like you post here.
Previously in this thread someone said that there are hundreds of bullet casters out there. Really? I'll tell you what, I doubt you could list even a hundred out there right now.
I am passionate about what I do and I am just as passionate now as when I first started actually more so today.
No one wants to see 30 years of very hard work be attacked by careless indiscriminate comments.
If you got a complaint with me, then you bring it to my attention personally in an e- mail or a phone call before you go running off to the internet to post some bad comments. I'll resolve the issue if you will let me resolve it.
