Great Lakes re-manufactured ammo is junk. Don't buy it. The most inconsistent loads I've ever experienced. Just a "heads up"
AVOID THIS AMMO

The best re-loaded (re-manufactured) ammo you can get is what you make yourself on your own Press, IMHO. No Company will take the time, trouble and effort as we as we are able to spend ourselves, due to low profit margins in that industry.

Thanks for the heads-up. The only *Factory* Re-Man ammo I've ever used that at least worked reliably was from Black Hills.

I've had perfect performance from LAX reloaded ammo in 9mm and 45ACP.

Remanufactured ammo is always iffy in my book. We see it for sale at gun shows in boxes with hand written labels and I just don't feel like the few cents you save are worth it.
Back a few years ago when .380 was hard to find, a gunsmith in the area was making 380 to sell. My local shop bought up a bunch of it to sell to guys who were buying 380 pistols. He overloaded the charges. Thankfully, no one got hurt, but 2 new Kel Tec pistols came back to the shop in pieces.

My son went to a gun show in Hampton. 9mm was $85 per 500.
It was from a supplier he had bought from before with no problems. He picked me up a box of 500 9mm Berry's for $45. Almost not worth loading target ammo. He reloads but puts in some long hours and travels so its just easier for him to buy.

I shot 500 of LAX 38spl 158gr reman, no problems.
..x2......you betcha.............that's right!!!!!!!!!!!
I too have bought from LAX, the new stuff only in 38 special,357 mag, 41 mag, and 44 special. No problems at all. Get on their email list and about once a month they offer free shipping on minimum orders of their brand ammo.

Why even consider RM ammo when you can buy new ammo for the same price! (ie, Blazer Brass .45ACP 230 gr.) @ $12.39 a 50 rd. box?

I'm working my way through 1,000 remanufactured 9mm 115 grain that cost me around 15 cents each including sales tax. So far, out of maybe 350, I've had 2 or 3 failures.
Works for me.
Works for me.
Zero reman. ammo is very high quality. I also like their bullets for reloading. I get their products at Roze Distribution, Inc. - Zero Bullets and Ammunition

I'm not impressed with their prices, nor their Website!

I didn't think the prices were really out of line, and the Zero ammo includes shipping IIRC.
I can vouch for Black Hills. Never a problem, great quality control and easy people to work with.
I like LAX as well, very good luck with them.
