Quite a few people use them.
Right now, they're on my "crap" list. I place an order back in March, 6 months later, they call and ask if I still wanted them. I'd already received two orders from Montana Gold in that time. I'd email them, they'd say "oh, next month". They were producing 115gr and 124gr apparently, but no 147gr stuff.
Now, that was during the HEIGHT of the component shortage, so maybe they're getting caught back up now.
I've heard their quality isn't as good as MG, but I'll wait awhile and maybe I'll try some of theirs. But I want to make sure they have some IN STOCK, because I refuse to backorder something from them.
But for jacketed bullets, they're the only cheaper ones I'm familiar with.
