That must have been an oddly hot batch. I've fired 100+ rounds of their .45 hardball though a Springfield XD(M) 5.25" competition model (a polymer gun about half a pound lighter than a 1911) and it felt normal, meaning on par with common ammo like Blazer Brass.
I noted their 124gr 9mm remanufactured was notable less accurate than Magtech when fired at 25 yards from an S&W 986 revolver. The accuracy stunk and we're comparing this to cheap ammo from Brazil, nothing fancy.
Their quality control leaves much to be desired and seems to illustrate that you get what you pay for.
Their 147gr 9mm was measured by a guy on another board to only go 790ft/sec from a Glock 34, rather than the claimed 990. This could well explained which it jammed every time, turning a semi-auto, into a single-shot pistol.
FM has many fans; I'm certainly not one of them.
