I have bought their .44 Sp and .44 Mag. Like everything else I have bought from Georgia Arms it is fine ammo. They have been having trouble getting components for a while now and their deliveries have been pretty bad on the items I have ordered. Lately I have been buying Underwood ammo from Gunbroker. Much faster.

My brother bought some of their .41 Magnum ammo from Georgia Arms years ago. I shot some of it and it worked well and was accurate.

My Sheriff's Office buys it buy the vanload, in 45, 40, 9, 5.56......
The Georgia State Patrol, Marta Police, the State LE training center, Federal LE Training Center in Brunswick GA, the Northeast GA Police Acadmey, and a multitude of other agencies buy it by the ton when we can get it.....
I love doing business with GA Arms, no drama, no fuss, no muss, if they don't have it they will tell you, and tell you straight.
I don't know anyone who has had anything negative to say.....I am sure there have been an issue or two, but it is not systemic.
Buy with confidence. When I am not spending tax money on ammo, I buy personal ammo from them as well....

They are a local place for me also. I can report excellent results from their .44 special,.38 special,.45 acp and their .45 ar. Shot some 30 carbine SP from them many years ago in a blackhawk that was very interesting but haven't seen any of that in a while.

" Buy it by the van load "--" Buy it by the ton " --that's good enough for me. Sure wish I had your budget.

Thanks for all the replies.

I've also had good luck with their ammo. Only problem I have with them is I can't get the +p round they load for the 45LC right now. Apparently it has to do with the component shortage mentioned above, but my Blackhawk sure loves that stuff come deer season.

Couldn't find .41 mag locally under $50 box so I mail-ordered from GA. I wanted some oomph but I wasn't careful about what I ordered. Saved much money but I think I got cowboy loads. They shot clean and consistant but felt and sounded like std vel 38s. Need to be careful of what you order. I'm sure they had higher velocity loads that are just fine.
