Default LAX Ammunition???

While looking for ammo on the net I came across the LAX ammo site. Good prices on 38 and 357 mag. I would like some input or reviews of their ammo, new or reloaded, if anyone has bought from them. Also, Massammo is offering free shipping on ammo thru the 4th. Have a safe and enjoyable 4th and thanks to all that have and continue to serve Our Country to preserve our Independence.

I have purchased Tula .308 twice from them. Each time, they did fine, although a little slow to get the order out. Not a worry, and they tell you it will take a few days.

Echo the slow shipping and processing. I've shot the 40 S&W reloaded ammo from them and have no complaints about performance.

Right now processing is slow, but in the past they have been very responsive. I purchase 45 AC-p and .44 special along with 10mm. It is the new manufactured stuff and I have had zero problems. I have never tried the reloads, but with the new stuff reasonably priced I don't bother with their reloads. Wait for a sale and,reduced shipping.

The new LAX 357 is a mid load fairly clean round. My 686s love it. My Python no so much (less accurate). The 41 mag also performs well. LAX is my go to place for bulk ammo.

LAX has been my first choice for 9mm but I agree with other comments on the processing being a bit slow at times.

Must agree. I use Outdoorlimited.com. Excellent prices often and lightening fast shipping! Good communication too.

I ordered 500 rounds of 158gr, 38spl reloads. Free shipping for first time buyer.
Came in a nice size ammo can. So far so good and got it in less than a week and price was good.

I bought 1,500 rounds of 9mm that I was having a failure to fire issues with. It turned out to be too hard of primers and a bad batch of ammo. LAX refunded my money on the unshot rounds and sent me a shipping label. Customer service was good. They stood behind their product. Having said than I'm sticking with Freedom Munitions with which I've had no issues. Unfortunately I have to pay sales tax for the FM.

I order most all of my ammo from LAX. In addition to free shipping for 1st time buyers they frequently send emails with free shipping with $99 order. I buy the LAX manufactured 41 mag and 45LC, good prices.
and lots of their 38sp, both new & reloads. Very satisfied with all of it.
