Yes and no. Orders have been going out much faster with the increase in help over the last several months. However I have two casters that are currently down( leaving me with just 6 machines right now) and have been for the last 3 weeks and are in the midst of a total rebuild. I just got all the parts in and should have one machine back up this week and the second the week after. There is even some inventory in place which is helping fill orders that are pending and I should have most of the current orders caught up shortly as we are making a big push this upcoming week to get caught up on the older orders. There are many bullets now cast for orders that are just waiting to be lubed and sized which is being done over the next two weeks. There was also several large group of orders that came in the last two weeks of April.
If I did not get to your e-mail yet I will as there is a back log of calls and e-mails I have to get to yet. Sorry about the delays but the last three weeks has been involved with deliveries of local orders, picking up materials, being at the foundry getting alloy made and several trips to the machine shops to get parts made for the machines. The plan is to concentrate soley on orders these two weeks to get caught up as much as possible.
Thanks for you understanding. Welcome To Penn Bullets INC.

Glad this thread was started I was just getting ready to place an order. I'm also glad the response came as to why the back ups. I don't need anything in a rush, so I'll keep the order to myself for a week or so. Let you guys get your feet back under you again.
Look forward to doing business in the future though.
Oh, and welcome to the forum Robert, or Bob if you prefer.

Wow! Talk about getting it from the horse's mouth...
Mr. Palermo, thanks for your responses. I need to scratch my head a little more, but I'll have an order for you by the end of the week.

I ordered .32 caliber SWC's for my .32-20 and they are absolutely great. I will definitely order from Penn again.

I've been buying bullets from Penn for something like twenty years now. Other than occasional slow delivery due to demand, I have no complaints.
I just wish he still went to shows. I bought a LOT of his bullets at the OGCA show when it was at the Cleveland IX Center.

I started using Penn Bullets about 1985-86, and continue to use them. I always bought from Bob when he set up at the PGCA, OGCA, and the eastern OH independently promoted shows. I really stocked up on bullets and haven't bought any for maybe six or seven years now, but Penn Bullets are top-drawer, IMO and experience. I use Bob's .32 FP in my 32-20s and they are accurate and lead-free.
Good people, good stuff.

Many years ago , I used to see Bob at the Valley Forge , PA gun show. One time , I commented on the number of bullets I got in a box that were not completely filled out or were missing lube. I even brought them along , but left them in my truck. But he didn't doubt me or even ask to see them. He apoligized and gave me another box of 500 free of charge.
