Colorado Coffinmaker Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Following Receipt of the latest Chronicle, and reading Capt. Baylor's article, I have been trying to order from "Pro Cast Bullets." Appears their Web Site is KAPUT as I keep getting the dreaded "there is a Fatal Error with this site" message (for several days). There is also no contact/ordering phone number and the site won't accept a "contact us" message. Anybody had any luck with these folks?? Quote
PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted January 20 Posted January 20 (edited) I just logged on to www.procastbulletco.com – Procast Bullet Company with no problem after an internet search. Also went straight to the same site by "clicking" on the link at the end of the CC article. Edited January 20 by PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L add comment 3 Quote
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted January 20 Posted January 20 They have an age check mechanism as the entry point on the site - perhaps that chokes on your IP address, especially if you have a VPN running to disguise your IP.. Their web site seems not very polished and is incompletely built out - so they may need some time to spin up to commercial level service. good luck, GJ 1 Quote
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted January 20 Posted January 20 I had/have the same problem as Coffinmaker. I can get to the site and even put bullets in a cart, but when I try to checkout I get an error. It doesn't say you need to be registered, so I'm trying as a "guest" but I'm thinking it won't let you do that and you have to register and login. Might try that later. 1 Quote
Eyesa Horg Posted January 20 Posted January 20 (edited) Honestly if it weren't for Capt. Baylor's recommendation I'd be thinking it a scam site. No payment info, no phone number or address. Spaces between letters in a word, no spaces between some words. Added.. there are now posts from the operator. Edited January 23 by Eyesa Horg Update 3 Quote
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted January 20 Posted January 20 If no luck, give these forks a try. Great CS, and has been a SASS supporter since I started this game. Their moly-coated bullets are great with smokeless and BP. https://www.bearcreeksupplybullets.com/ 5 Quote

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted January 20 Author Posted January 20 Sorry Lump lump. Bear Creek not a "Suitable Substitute." I am specifically interested in Pro's 97Gr Hollow Cavity. Currently, no way to buy. Like others, other than Capt. Baylor's piece, I'd suspect a scam. Time will tell I suppose. Right now, very flaky. 4 Quote
Eyesa Horg Posted January 20 Posted January 20 They certainly hit all the buttons for a scam site. 1 Quote
Sam Sackett Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Yep. Not a good site. I placed some item in shopping cart and then entered my zip code to see what the shipping charge was. Then when I tried to go back to shopping cart it wouldn’t come up. I’m not trying again. Sam Sackett 1 Quote
Eyesa Horg Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Maybe they set the Capt. up knowing he has followers! Quote
Eyesa Horg Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Maybe they set the Capt. up knowing he has followers! You may also note that most of links just take you to the support email. I wouldn't trust them even with Mr. Baylor's nod. Quote
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Well I did register but still can't check out. At one point I saw a place to enter credit card info, although I didn't enter it at that time. Can't get to that point again but at least if they take credit cards that's a good sign. Quote

Sarge Posted January 20 Posted January 20 I don't believe they are a "scam site." They had a booth at Range War last year (September). They were a family run start up. Have not heard anymore about them since the match. 1 Quote
Squib Kidd Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Hello Everyone! I'm Mike Prokurat, President of Procast Bullet Co. First, yes, our website has been giving us a lot of trouble. Our hosting servers were attacked this summer (by Russians believe it or not) and all of our settings thatt connect shipping and quickbooks have to be redone. We discovered this over Christmas when we started our 'Get Loaded' give away. It's been a nightmare getting the website working. That being said, our main guy has just come back after paternal leave and I hope my website people should have everything running smootly very soon. In the mean time, we're fully stocked and I am happy to take orders over the phone. So, since we don't have a website, please email us at: support@procastbulletco.com Include your name and phone number and I'll give you a call for your payment info. Thank you so much for your understanding. 6 4 Quote

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 Squib Kidd Changed my mind and sent eMail. Got back and "undeliverable" msg. Sending a PM Quote
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I sent an email last night but did not hear back. However, I just tried the website again and it took my order and payment, no problem, so I guess it's back up and running. Good luck with the business, Kid. 2 Quote
