Dr.Jimmy Rustler 23 Posted February 5, 2015 typically i buy PMC bronze and Aguilla 45 when their on sale for my glock 21. I recently saw http://www.freedommunitions.com/45-Auto-230-gr-RN-p/fm45r230r-b0250.htm 45 ACP from freedommunitions, they have good reviews on the 45 but then i was considering some .223 which had a bunch of bad reviews. just curious what you guys think since its significantly cheaper. would you shoot it in your gun?

Junior 14 Posted February 5, 2015 I bought some 9mm and 38 special remanufactured ammo from them. Works fine for punching paper... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damjan 73 Posted February 5, 2015 I ve used their 9mm in my Glock. Runs like a champ. Go for it. The only problem i ve had with a 45 was with Winchester. One of the ammoman loose rounds from his 2013 christmas special was a squibb and the bullet barely left the chamber. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Bill 649 Posted February 5, 2015 Some here on this board have no problem with this manufacturer, a few reported possible problems they feel were caused by the ammo. I do not shoot reloads I have not reloaded myself. I do not like the fact they buy brass from anybody for reloading, too many variables for my taste. To each his own.

ogfarmer 138 Posted February 5, 2015 I have used all kinds of their ammo with zero problems. just buy there new manufactured it still affordable if your worried. also they have daily deals so get on their list Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank Rizzo 59 Posted February 5, 2015 Have shot plenty of Freedom reman pistol caliber rounds through multiple firearms, no issues. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PD2K 115 Posted February 5, 2015 Absolutely! I buy Freedom Munitions reman ammo all the time. Great range ammo. Shoots flawlessly in all my Glocks. Why pay $$$$ to shoot paper? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mustang69 503 Posted February 5, 2015 I've had good experience with 9mm and .45acp from them, but lousy experience with .38spl and .357mag. I might use them again for semi-auto but never again for revolvers. Basically, I had to send ammo back because it would jam the cylinders, sometimes to the point of not even allowing the cylinder to close once loaded. AFAIK their QC needs work. They stood behind it no problem, but who needs the aggravation? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RHS 0 Posted February 5, 2015 I've been using their "NEW" in 38 and 9 for over a year with no problems. Running low. Need to place an order. I look for free shipping specials. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
45Doll 5,848 Posted February 5, 2015 My wife and I have shot at least 8K 'reman' rounds of 9, 38, 40, and 45 with an issue rate no more significant than other factory rounds we've shot. She's almost exclusively Glock; I'm Glock, Sig, M&P and HK autos. S&W revolvers. No, they are not 100.0% flawless. Considering their price and performance (and free shipping when offered) they are fine for practice. And don't overlook the brass trade-in credit. I've got another 35 pounds going back next week. Cha-ching. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeL 3 Posted February 5, 2015 I shoot their 9, 40 and 223 reman in my guns. Several thousand in total and no issues. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuRrEaLNJ 294 Posted February 6, 2015 I've run their .45, .223 and .380 without incident. My case of 9 just showed up so add that to the list. It's been a couple k of .45 alone at this point. My dad did get shorted a few rounds in one order. Don't know if he followed through on it though. I'd even argue it's cleaner than american eagle. I've used lax reloads as well. Generally order from whoevers cheaper or in stock at the time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatty 241 Posted February 6, 2015 I would recommend checking your ammo from them... Maybe just my bad luck but I've caught 3 bad rounds (9mm round seated in far too deep and (2) .223 reman rounds with really badly damaged case necks) in the last 2 months from their new and reman line. aside from the 3 that might've done some damage, i've shot roughly 3k rounds of mixed calibers (new and reman) without any real issue Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexC 2 Posted February 9, 2015 I would buy factory stuff - I've shot thousands of the cheap Russian 9mm ammo (Tula, Wolf and Brown Bear) through my G17 and aside from the occasional hard primer, no problems at all. Some ranges won't let you shoot bi-metal ammo, I see them create sparks at the steel plates at the back end of the range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparks450r 0 Posted February 22, 2015 I shoot their 9, 40 and 223 reman in my guns. Several thousand in total and no issues. Same here. not 40 but 9mm and 223/5.56 and i have never had a problem with any of their ammo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr.Jimmy Rustler 23 Posted March 5, 2015 shot 50 rounds of the reman and 50 of the new tonight. had one FTE of the reman in the first mag. After that it was all smooth shooting. Will buy this ammo again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. KGM 1 Posted March 5, 2015 never had a failure i would recommend freedom munitions highly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ECsandstar 28 Posted March 6, 2015 Ill be purchasing some soon. Good pricing and im willing to give their 9mm a shot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tallday 10 Posted March 7, 2015 I have shot over 2000 rounds of Freedom munitions 40sw in my 22 with no issues. I can also say that at work they buy like 40.000 rounds of factory at a time and at the range last year I found a few rounds were the bullets were loaded into the brass upside down. We would get failers sometimes as well. Thats why you should practice how to get back into the fight weather factory or reman ammo. Could have been a bad lot but what ya going to do right. I think that the issue with reloads is that if you just get them from some guy who cooked them up in his home lab you have no way of knowing his QC process with brass powder load head space ect... With major companies like freedom munitions the would be using standards like factory new just with reprocessed brass. Just my 2 cents! Good Luck!

falcone 89 Posted March 7, 2015 I've run tons of rounds of there ammo in all my calibers including my G23 and never had any real problems. Whenever I've had bad rounds I emailed them and they shipped me a free box of ammo. It's mostly what I use for range ammo now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
