These are companies offering primers, none of which I've ever heard of -


Best Value Ammo
Black Dragon Ammo
Cheapest Ammo
Reloading Unlimited
Sportsman Fulfillment

Can anyone here vouch for any of them?

IDK about primers but I got a case of 9mm from Shaw a month ago or so.

Edit to add details, and apparently I have a bad sense of time since this is more than a month ago:
Ordered feb 21 after hours.
Shipped Feb 22 from Georgia by UPS
Arrived Feb 24.

American Reloading (you can get HST pulls from them) and MassAmmo are legit.

Ginex primers about 5 years ago had issues with their diameters being a bit too large. Large enough that priming felt a little sketchy to me. Good for loose primer pockets though. These days, I have no clue whether or not they fixed that issue.

Best Value Ammo was selling 7.62x39mm from Russia and Kyrgyzstan recently that had their brand name on the boxes. The Russian stuff was from Vympel, basically rebranded "Golden Tiger". The Kyrg stuff, made at a former Soviet ammunition plant, turned out to be corrosive primed in spite of what the boxes said. From what I've read in the AK ammo forum, BVA tried to make it right for customers who already bought some and changed the product description to be accurate.

If they have “normal” primers like CCI and federal for $60 or less. With no limits… they are a scam. Or varget, h1000, h4350, etc for ~$35, no limits…scam.

I edited the list to remove American Reloading, Capital Cartridge, Mass Ammo and Shaw.

It's not a list of scam sites, it's a list of potential suppliers with whom I am not familiar.

If they ask you to send CC info via email because their shopping cart system is "temporarily down" it's a scam.

Poor grammar/syntax

Everything or damn near everything they sell is in stock*

Prices are unusually low given the market*

*Scammers are getting smart. It seems that many of them have adjusted their prices upward (but just below what legit webs sites are charging) since unusually low prices send up a red flag. Same for everything being in stock.

I have looked up the buisness address on google street view and it was in the middle of nowhere with no visible building that indicated a business of any sort. I was already suspicious of their website having components in stock that no one else did. I don't remember the exact websites.

Calibrated defense. On another website, several reviews of it being a scam, and several "positive" reviews that were all done on the same day, and use poor english.

I have ordered primers from Lohman arms and received my primers without any problems. I would say good to go.

One company was offering Federal Gold Medal Match large rifle primers (GMM210M) which I thought were unobtanium.  

They have a real building in a real business district.  They accept credit cards.  All the indicators on the web site are favorable.

Sounds good, right?

Reading the online reviews, it sounds like a scam business to me.  So, I'm not purchasing from them.

I've did the same, usually someone's primary residence(house).

I was looking for oddball brass .32  S&W long and ran across a site running by LocknLoad ammo and Lockand Load ammo that was selling stuff I couldn’t find anywhere for way back machine prices....$20 something a hundred versus what I was seeing elsewhere out of stock $45-62/100.  

Five minutes of googling had 4/5ths of the reviews saying Run away!  The others said terribly slow.   Lots of never got anything and a run around.  

Outdoor Limited is GTG.  They are just down the road from me in High Point, NC. I've bought a bunch of ammo and some powder and primers from them in the 2017-2019 timeframe.

They had a store front prior to Covid, but used that excuse to close it.  The owner is a jerk but you will get what you order at the stated price.

Most of the people I've met who work there are pretty nice, including one warehouse guy who took one of my FD classes.

I just copied that from another group.  

Also,  hodgdon powdershopcom LOOKS legit, only accepts zelle/crypto though.

Basicslly if their entire inventory is in stock, including benchrest primers and the unicorn dust powders with no limits….it’s a scam.  Not to mention only cash apps, no CC, Chinenglish grammar etc

Outdoor Limited it legit. I have bought a bunch if compone from them thus year.

I avoid anything made in china and stick with sites that have the right details, Contact in the bottom, an About Us, that sort of thing

This right here!!  I always look up their address and google maps and streetview.  9/10 the addresses they provide are bullshit and are someone's house in a shithole location, not a retail location.  Also - look for a phone #.  If there are no phone #'s for contacting them (only email) then I don't trust them.
