Default Freedom Munitions

Hit the range tonight. Used up a box of pmc (17rds) and then on to Freedom munitions. First time with the freedom and i'm on the new side of shooting. The freedom seemed to be loaded strong. They seemed very dirty. I order the reman. 40 s&w. They were very shiny. I didnt look at every round but did see some nicks on some. Just my 1/4 cent opinion!

Reman is a pretty word for Reloaded. My experience is the same from this company also. Most people fail to realize that this isnt new ammo and doesnt compare to most newer well known manufacturers ammo. However, at least it is ammo to bring to the range and shoot. So I give them that little tiny bit of credit.

I will buy elsewhere if i can find it.

If you take a minute and read their site it is very clear. I knew what it was. I gave it try. The stuff ran fine but did seem strong so im just sharing info. They do have 9, 40, 45 listed often. From reading online, their prices have gone up but not as bad as others.

I only bought reloads once and have since only shot my own reloads. I bought 100 45 autorim from a company (not saying who, not badmouthing them) and I had a 25% failure to fire rate. Pulled 100 of my reloaded 45 autorim out and had a 0% failure to fire. I emailed them and they refunded my money, but I wouldnt expect every company to stand behind their loads like that.

Just shot 200 rounds of their 9mm reloads thru a baretta 92 fs. A little dirty but every round fired just fine. Not really any dirtier than wwb. Will try the 45acp later.

They make new and reman. So i dont think calling their stuff reloads is totally fair. Its not some guy in his basement reloading.

They do keep listing ammo 9, 40, 45, and more. There arnt many choices out there.

Absolutely great ammo...I will put their reman right up there with well know new ammo as far as more dirty I don't think it is any dirtier than Winchester and shoots just as good...besides I clean my guns after every session and don't wait and clean until 2 thousand rounds are fired through it...anyway it's good stuff order some and try it
