I spoke with Tom today and he said the phone we have been calling is his home phone and he would prefer our using his cell # 815-451-6649 since he is not usually home during the day. He asked me to let everyone know this.

I have seen several addresses on the internet. Here is the correct one (note the zip code):
Ballistic Research
1108 W. May Ave.
McHenry, IL 60051

It is still $5/shell.

Thanks for the update !!

Thanks, that's good to know. I just sent him some loads to test.

I posted this on 16ga.com , thank you for the update

I had him load some 8s, last September, at $3.00 each. That was with lead shot. Has he raised his price, or is $5.00 for non-toxic shot?

Load? I thought we were talking about pressure testing loads that were sent to him.

I did not know he would load for you.

The $5.00 charge per shell is for pressure testing. I was not aware he prepared special loads.

Tom Armbrust said to use UPS or Fedex. He said do not use the post office.

Remember you are delivering to a Ballistic place and the mailman knows what is inside the package without looking.

That said, in the past I used priority mail and did not have a problem.

That is giving government employees the credit for having more reasoning power than I do. Plus, it is assuming that a rural mail carrier actually "cares" what is in the package, which they don't, IMO. There is nothing in the address that I use that says anything about ballistics.

Is it 1108 W. May Street, or is it 1108 W. May Avenue? When you Google that address it is shown as Avenue.

I send it to that address W.S., but I put Tom's name on it instead of "Ballistic Research".

SRH

I just looked and the last letter I received from Tom had 1108 W. May Avenue, not Street, as the return address.
