I'm not familiar with them, but appreciate the head's up. Thank you.

Does anyone know anything about them?

I did read their "About Us" on their website. Just being cautious, not negative.

Doesn’t give me a good feeling about spending my money and hoping something ships.

I called the number several times and it went straight to voicemail. No part of the voicemail even mentioned the company’s name. Also, their payment methods appear to be shady and offer the buyer no protection whatsoever. I did leave a message for them to return my call. I’ll post an update if I ever hear from them. However, this appears to be one of those “too good to be true” situations.

Let me think about this...   Website appears to have been established on Dec 5, 2020.  According to their website, they have been able to line up companies all over the US and Canada that freely sell the inventory of scarce products to Jack's Reloading, And they want payment by Venmo or Bitcoin???  

Think I'll pass on this one.  I'm too busy working with a Nigerian bank to get my huge inheritance from somebody I never knew.

Good video on lots of these types of ammo scams that have popped up lately. Not surprised that they might have moved into the realm of components. 
 

That’s not pointed at the OP at all, in fact, thanks @Beltfed for posting this and reminding me of the issue. I forgot to post about those scams when I first learned of them.

After looking at the prices and briefly doing some digging around, I expected it to be a scam. I figured I’d call them anyways just to see if anyone would answer. With a 615 area code, if they were a legit company I’d just drive to their location and pick up. I fully expected it to be bogus. After some Google searching. I know it’s definitely bogus.

Anyplace that ONLY accepts payment in bitcoin is a scam. There was a site that offered firearms for sale at very low prices and everything was in-stock, but only bitcoin. They even had a place where you could go and buy bitcoin with your credit card. There is no recourse at all if you pay with bitcoin and get nothing. It's money down the drain.

I think we'll see more of this kind of thing with the current shortages of ammo and components. It doesn't cost much to set up a web-site, and if  the actual locations is Russia or China, there's no way for LE to get to the bad guys.

Darn it! I can use some primers.

"We have been able to accomplish this by teaming with many companies around the United States and parts of Canada buying most of their stock as soon as it hits the shelf." Interesting business model, professional scalping.  Website went live Dec. 5, no address, phone number nobody answers, and payment sent via unconventional means.  English is not their first language either.  Maybe I can use my Nigerian treasury money to stock up on supplies once it arrives ...
