Either a score or a scam (Starline .357 Mag brass)

Tidying up a bit, I was looking for brass that I need, and I found a place with Starline .357 Mag in stock. Or so they said. My pessimistic optimism goes like this - If it is out of stock, and they didn't update it, I will cancel the charge on my CC. Everybody (it seems) is out of stock or backorder. If, by some late Christmas miracle, it is in stock, then Woo-Hoo!

First case, I have the cold satisfaction of being right. Second case, if I'm wrong, and they have it, then woo-hoo! So what that I was wrong... Win-Win!

Nice to know. I expect an answer on Monday.

There are a goodly number of oddball brass and bullets available... 41 Rem Mag and 414 SM come to mind... Always used to strike me that having a spread of calibers was troublesome, trying to keep all those hungry mouths fed... Nowdays, I can find something that will work in one or more guns...

Just going off memory but I seem to remember getting a notice from one of the suppliers I buy from saying that they had the SL .357 brass back in stock . Can't remember who but it has been within the last two weeks but all I see now is " Out Of Stock " .

Wow, I got an invoice this morning (Sunday). No mention of "Backordered", "out of stock", or the sneaky "reservation". If this is a scam, they sure are putting in extra, unneccessary work in order to snow me.

Either, I'm touched that they care so much, -OR- they have it in stock and they will ship it... Stay tuned as the drama unfolds!

Another message, they have created a USPS tracking number. Expected delivery in 2 days.

Now, these folks are reeaally putting in the effort to scam me... or... maybe there is a little bundle of joy [more precisely, three bags] that will bless my home...

Now if the post office doesn't lose it, or delay it in some black hole at a processing center for a couple of weeks you will be all set. :rolleyes:
