It's amazing how long that first 120 boxes is lasting.  I thought they would be gone by now.

    I just called Cabela's to cancel my backorder for 9MM Silvertips. I had ordered .380 STs at the same time and the lady asked if I wanted to keep them on backorder, I said I did, and asked if she had any ETA for them. She said she was quite sure they would be here by may 15.    Gene

That's good news.  I hope it holds.  I still have the box of .380's I got from CCW as I haven't been to the range yet!

Thanks for the site.  I just signed up.  

Today I got very lucky.  I visited my local guy to buy some 45 ammo for the range.  I commented on how I'd been waiting for 3 months for a 9mm silvertip order at Cabella's.  He said believe or not he just got in an alotment of 5 boxes of 9mm Silvers.  I could not belive it. I bought all 5 boxes for $39.95 each.

Price has gone up at RR Arms to $36.41 a box.  Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore definitely is the best buy, for sure.

IF they have them in stock.  I don't see anything about "in-stock" or "out of stock".  We'll see.

    I just bought 10 more boxes from Sportsman Outdoor Superstore at the same $29.95 price. I have no way of knowing how many they have left, or how many they started with, but it must have been quite a bit. I guess buying more was just a knee-jerk reaction on my part as I really didn't need them. I wonder how long it'll be before I can pass up a chance for Silvertips without buying some?    Gene

Well I think I just received notification that my Silvertips have been shipped via FedEx.  Which reminds me: how much ammo do you have to have before the FBI considers you suspicious?

One thing that I found interesting about the notification: it's in Chinese.  I hope these are Winchester Silvertips, not Slivertips.  If the box says "We Are Hoping That You Are Liking These Projectile And Are Happy Warrior"... I'm in trouble.

The Silvertips from RR Arms arrived today.  Its been 13 months since I've had my order in at Cabela's and still haven't seen any from them.  

That's some weird stuff going on at Sportsmans Outdoor.  Don't understand why the Chinese.

Perhaps the Slivertips from Sportsman's Outdoor come with assembly instructions?  Powder optional.

Dan,
   After carefully reading and translating that message, they are telling you that Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore, had FedEx deliver your ammo to mainland China, were you will need to pick it up. ;D

You could be right!  Hope they come in a nice box or boxes!    ;D
