Just to be clear, this is NOT a group buy for ammo thread? [LOL]
glad I got all my ammo when I did. as nice a group buys are, they can also be a massive PITA.

Having just sponsored the reloading powder group buy, not sure I'll do that again. What worked for me was the order was limited to 48lbs by MidwayUSA, which allowed me to front the funds for the order rather than being the middle man for other people's money and capped the number that could participate. Folks that got in on the order were very patient, but didn't help when the ball kept on moving and the ship date kept getting pushed due to the volume of orders Midway was processing and the limitation that they could only load 100lbs of powder on a truck and could only cycle a certain number of trucks through the facility.
New found appreciation for Patrick and others that sponsored the group buys that didn't have a cap in the number of folks that can participate.
That sounded like a pita from the get go. I'd have had them join the forum if they wanted in on it.Quote:
