Shhhh! stop telling people about our little secret! ;)

I've been buying stuff there a fair bit - he actually has some stuff in stock! Nice guy and pretty good prices too.
 
Excellent service. I was there yesterday and they were out of every powder I needed. No Varget, H-1000 or H-335. I still ended up spending 200 bones on bullets and primers... lol.

From April 19th.

I do not know what will be in the order arriving at "Higginson's" in Hawkesbury other than what I am waiting for(not Varget), but Andrew told me last week that he was receiving a powder shipment this week.
 
I ordered a Lee mold from Higginson Powders last week and it turns out it is a lemon. I contacted them today and they want nothing to do with me, just told me to contact Lee.
Not going to be ordering any parts from them again.
 
To be fair, it *is* a manufacturer's warranty, not a retailer's warranty.
I assume you had to pour heated alloy into the mold to determine that it was a lemon?
Not something the retailer could have readily determined before shipping.

If the order was filled incorrectly, that would be a retailer issue.

As they are a Lee Precision distributor and not just a retailer I expected more. As for it being a lemon the mold had pits and gouges on the top and an uneven cut to the bottom of the mold. I would not have sold this mold at a discount and should not have even passed quality control in factory, but THAT is a Lee problem.

I was willing to deal with the external deformities, but the bullets is casts are oblong, it should measure 0.311 throughout, but I am getting measurements of .310 to .313 on every bullet.

P.S. I was expecting Budget Shooter Supply quality of service.

Then you should have bought 7 lbs of WC-735. Better deal than H-335 and shoots as well. Use H-335data and work up to Max slowly.
