Default USAammo

Is there anyone that has used ammo from USAammo? If so how was the quality?

The USA ammo I've seen is the generic Winchester White box/Q-loads. I've never had any problems myself but have heard a lot of complaints lately on WWB being dirty and weak loadings.

Default Win USA

They are target rounds. Enough said.
I buy them for the brass.

Good plinking ammo but yes, your gun will need a good cleaning afterward! I only buy it because it is about the cheapest practice ammo in town.

I don't think the OP was referring to the Winchester ammo. There is a brand called USA Ammo. Link to website:Pistol and Rifle Ammo ? Ammunition With Attitude

I've never used this ammo before so I can't comment. If I'm wrong and the reference was to the Winchester USA (WWB), I have used it and I like it a lot.

I think you are right, there is a company named USAammo. I have never heard of it before this thread so I can't comment on it's quality either.

According to their site they make the ammo here in the USA and produce both first run factory ammo and re-manufactured ammo too. If they are any good they may be a good source for reloads for those who don't reload for themselves.

I purchased 500 rnds of their .45 ACP 230 grain ball factory reloads at a local gun show. They fired clean and reliably in my Kimber full size .45. I didn't get the tight groups I get with Federal's American Eagle but it was acceptable for general range/plinking. Brass looked decent and I'll probably use it for my own reloads when I get my bench set up.
