[BigAl52]

I went to there site before responding. If their in Texas they gotta be ok.

[JEBar]

I'd like to believe that .... I can't find any info on where they are manufactured

They appear to be a new(er) company.

Checked it out, not a big selection in primers or ammo. also 2 month wait.
Thankfully, I have plenty.

Checked them out, Headquarters in Miami FL, manufacturing in Cleburne, TX. Don't know why you would have manufacturing plant so far from main office. I've asked them some questions I'll see how they respond, seems expensive $130 per 1000 for SPP

Good question. I'm kinda wondering if they aren't importing these from somewhere, due to the 2 month lead time.
It'll be interesting to see what they tell you.

Got an answer from Zincpoint primers,

"Hello Steve! No, they are from South America. They will ship in 2 months. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns!
Have a wonderful day!"

OK now we know their where they are made, didn't answer what different types they make (spm, lp lpm, ....) No answer on what the primers are similar to CCI, WIN, Fed....seems like they take orders then make a factory order, wait for them to come in then distribute them.
For $130/1000 for something I have no idea if they even work, I'll Pass

[Grunt67]

I agree, olpole, too man y "ifs". Figured they were imported from somewhere. I'll pass too.

[JEBar]

I'd sure like to hear from someone who has used them

[Vaquero]

Not interested at $130 a 1000...PASS
Like Grunt says, I have enough for a pretty good spell.
I'll wait on something I'm more familiar with, and see what the new price will be.

Would like to hear from some of our international members if they are experiencing the same dearth of components.

Yeah, that price is nuts. I can buy CCI’s locally from our price gougers for that.

[runnin n gunnin]

If they were any good, in this economy, we would all have heard from them. I will stay away.

[ol'pole]

Thinking about it $130/brick, sold as 2 = $260 plus shipping say $20 plus fed hazmat $35, that equals $315 WOW that's $.17 per primer, or $8.50 / 50 rounds loaded for just primers. Really jacks up the price of reloading
Still waiting for an answer to my last email

As will I. Geez, these "suppliers" are really stretching prices. Dang! Glad I don't need any.

[Vaquero]

I agree Tom, with both.
I'm in pretty good shape for now.
