I have a new eight twist barrel in 6.5-284 coming, and I need to be ready to feed it. I have the dies, body die, head space gauges, primers, powder, and an assortment of bullets.
But no brass.
Lapua has 284 brass, yee haw. I ordered a couple hundred.
Except the only payment method is "Zelle'. WTF is "Zelle"?
There was a note on the checkout page that they would send me a text or E-mail telling me how to get their money to them. Color me skeptical.
I hope it is not a fake website. Is this "Zelle" crap reversible if my product never arrives?

No it is not reversible. I can send payments to people where I work and if I send the payment to the wrong phone number the money is gone.
Whatever website you are on for that brass is a scam.

Thanks, as I suspected. This appears to be the real Lapua website. https://www.lapua.com/products/cartridge-cases/

No. The requirement for "Zelle" stopped me.
I only use payment methods I know I can reverse.

good recovery from a real potential fumble.
I hate these damn fake sites. People making money by scamming instead of earning money honestly.

I’ve been looking for Ramshot Hunter powder for about a year now and keep running into fake sites that only take Zelle or PayPal Friends and Family and other non-reversible payments. Extremely frustrating!

If they don't take credit cards they are most likely a scam. Anyone who puts in the effort to build a nice website will put in the effort to get set up for credit cards.
