Ammo update (tested and conclusion)

[Jsimon78]

Well I honestly tried the Freedom munition yesterday through the M&P. I’ll be honest and say it’s interesting but in a good way. The only thing I kinda was worried about getting in trouble with was some of fireballs I had (I kinda wish I had photos of it). Otherwise it was clean, no jams, and my groupings were pretty good. Personally it helped with learning on the optic too.

I have run a lot of 9mm, 45acp, and .223/556 from Freedom Munitions and haven't had any issues. I've even tried their defense ammo in my M&P handguns and that all ran just fine too.

That’s a good thing. I’ll be honest my 10MM usually acts up when it starts getting dirty. This stuff makes Ammo Inc number 2 on my list (if they’re even will be around any longer).

Used freedom munitions for years, never had any issues with quality or performance.

I dont understand why people try all these cheap ammo makers. Load it yourself and never have to worry about "will it work in my gun?".

Personally I’d do it if I had the space and the time. As is I work 50 hours a week and sometimes 6 days a week. Then throw in a personal life and part of the Marine Corps League. It’s not like I have time at the moment to sit and load up ammo for the next range trip.

Thanks for the feedback! Seems its a runner

Ammo inc. was swallowed up by Winchester. Most of the places I had seen on the Internet that carried it discounted it and blew it out.

Hi,

I always buy my .45ACP from Freedom Munitions, formally LAX Ammunition. Been using them for years. I try to catch a sale when they have free shipping or $5 flat rate shipping and stock up. It's good stuff, shoots cleaner than most.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

I believe it’s the Olin company. I know the CFO cooked the books before it got bought out. Ammo Inc isn’t bad at all and had good luck with it but now something is going on that I can’t explain. It might be me overthinking things.

Definitely cleaner than most. It goes off when I press the trigger (not like Winchester Red Box). Personally thank you for the heads up too.

Agree Jsimon78.
I dont have the time or desire. I’ll just buy online. I’d rather cook than reload. When I’m retired, I’ll do both.

Freedom and Target Sports are my main range suppliers. Much simpler for me.

I agree that Ammo Inc was and is good ammo. I shot a lot of it, it was clean and much more consistent than other cheap ammo I've bought over the years.
Olin/Winchester, same thing.

The joys of having a job and trying to do what is right in our time line. If something is good then pass it along.

I have purchased a lot of Freedom ammunition and have never had a problem with it.

I am a "Ammo+" member with Target Sports, so that is where I buy most of my ammo now. Free shipping and the discount can't be beat. With 5 orders you recoup the membership fee in what would be shipping cost from somewhere else.
