    As discussed in the previous Prime Ammo Thread, Jim is looking to offer ammunition at even bigger discounts to the end-user with this group buy options that pools the members of Sniper's Hide (and beyond) in order to lower cost and save us money on ammunition.

    There are several options with this, and it's not a requirement, just an option to get some really great ammunition at even bigger discounts to include Free Shipping which will save a ton of money on bulk orders.

    Compare these prices to other quality brands on the market. I have looked and I invite others to look as well. Now one caveat you cannot compare this ammo to the likes of S&B or Privi Partisan stuff, you have to compare the same quality brands most of us use already. There are bargain and bulk brands out there but none of those will match the quality of this ammunition.

    Just a question, is this Swedish company the same one that Prime had the issues with in the first place? I thought Prime was staying Made in the USA? Just wondering.
     
    Doesnt look like the 500,000 round mark will be acheived.
    Well, in the 24 hours since I bought a case the counters have gone up about 30,000. Jim actually called me today to thank me for my purchase; needless to say I was both surprised and impressed. I hope this all goes well for Prime! I'm hoping to buy another case before the 16th. As of tonight at 2037 Central Time 71,200 of the RUAG and 63,800 of the Peterson are sold.

    Update: 24 hours later, the sold numbers are79,800 and 97,200 respectively. So a total of 42,000 rounds sold in the last 24 hours. Timestamp: 2037 on 12/4/2019

    It would seem to make more sense to not offer both group buys at the same time. Splits up the numbers. They may have their reasons. If they make the numbers I will mail a check for a couple thousand rounds. Until then I will hold off.
     
    I wish it was a month later. I spent all extra $$ for Christmas stuff.
     
    Will it make it? 12/15/2019 12:07 PST - RUAG 162,600 out of 500,000 required, USA 417,200 out of 500,000 required.

    Need 82,800 in the USA option to sell in under 18 hours. It doesn't look good for the RUAG order, needs over 337k to sell.

    I bet the Peterson flies regardless of total at this point.
     
    417,800 after my 3 case order.

    Come on guys! This is a great deal...not to mention FREE SHIPPING!

    If nothing else, buy a case for yourself for Christmas. Put from “Santa” on the tag. Mama will have to ruin Christmas for the kids if she says anything. ?
     
    Imagine if they would have only had the USA as an option. Would have been there.
     
    Would buy several cases if they shipped to MA. Legal to do so but a lot of places don’t. The number of places that do is slowly increasing though.
     
    So it was extended to the end of the month? Can I send a check in then instead of using my CC?
     
    So...quick question for the group. I placed my order on Dec 4th. Got the order confirmation, but no other communication. I’ve called, got a really nice, but unhelpful friend of Jim’s on the phone, was told to email Jim...and still haven’t gotten an answer. At this stage I’d almost rather cancel the order and spend the money on reloading supplies, but I don’t know who to get in touch with to do this.

    What are you trying to figure out

    The group buy was very specific these discounts came at a price, that price was TIME

    You have to wait for the ammo to be made

    Were you expecting to Order it and have it a week later or something

    Read the rules of the Buy, it said there is a wait for the ammo to be made

    I want to say up to 6 months. It was clearly written.
     
    Has anybody gotten a refund on the Norma made prime yet? I sent two emails and haven't gotten a reply.
     
    I hate to be that guy, but is this deal still viable or is it long gone - done? I tried the links, so I assume its over.

    PB
     
    I already have an order in for a couple of cases of the American stuff. How is asking if anybody got refunds yet a month after it closed complaining? That's totally legit.

    I did just get a receipt for a refund though so thank you.
     
    I hate to be that guy but... given the current ammo situation has anything changed?
     
    This is not affected this was put in motion well before this and is on track

    stop looking for excuses
    Wasn't trying to be a dick. I'm down to 200 rounds of 6.5 and I might get some time off in the next couple of weeks. Ahead of schedule is great but I didn't know if the manufacturer was shutting down or running reduced crews on account of the current craziness. It was just an honest question but I figured I'd get kicked in the dick and labeled as a shit stirrer. Sorry, thanks for the update.
     
    I’m patiently waiting for the next group buy. I pre purchased the first run of the American stuff back in the late summer but I’m down to a couple hundred rounds, will definitely buy much more the next group buy.

    Got my shipping notification today as well. Jim is a good guy and a man of his word. The fact he was able to keep his time line promise with all of the unforeseen circumstances is pretty awesome.
