I have a new female student who recently purchased a .380EZ that I am trying to find a good price on practice/ Remanufactured (possibly)ammo. Anyone got a good source? Any and all suggestions welcome. Tom

Give ammoseek.com a try. Lots of choices there.

I stick with bulk buys of Fiocchi 95gr. It seems to work in everything.
This is a really good deal.

Price is good. Quality is better. Some of these re-manufacturers have a long history of producing ammo which blows up guns. Google away!
I prefer to may a little more and buy ammo made in a major ammunition plant, foreign or domestic.

I'd never bought from Freedom Munitions until I posted a question about it here.
Many use it and never had a problem.

In see you are over in Cedaredge, which limits OTC options a bit, but I have noticed that Big R and Murdoch's have pretty good current prices.

Winchester White Box.
I have nothing positive to say about other people's reloads or remanufactured.

SGAmmo has 380 FMJ from MagTech, S&B and Winchester and PMC at prices that range from $.32 to $.36 per round. To get the lowest possible price your student would have to buy a case. But even at $.35 when purchased in 50 round boxes that is still cheaper than anything except 9mm and 22.
I have used 9mm practice ammo from all those manufacturers without any failures. But with a Gen 4 Glock 19 the WWB barely dribbled out of the gun sometimes so I don't use it anymore. It was OK in other guns but seemed to be loaded on the weak side. Unless there is a screaming good deal on WWB I usually go with a different brand.
Lots of people have reported good results going to ammoseek and buying from whoever is least expensive but I prefer to go with companies that have been around for several years and have a good reputation. Primarily sgammo but sometimes targetsports. Their prices are competitive and I trust both companies.

I’ve shot several thousand rounds from Freedom Munitions. 9MM and 45 auto.
No problems.
It’s good to be cautious when buying ammo. But don’t be snobbish. Can you imagine the damage such a company would suffer from bad ammo? The internet would explode.

Came here to suggest SG Ammo. Have bought from them and like them, but never bought .380 from them.
Haven't looked lately but the last time I did check ammoseek for .380 there was some steel case, copper jacketed bullet ammo at very good prices. Apparently non reloadable Russian mfg. I would buy those over any reloaded ammo. Winchester flat nose FMJ is pricy and underloaded and best avoided.

Freedom Munition's special (above, sadly out of stock) is not reload/reman ammo...
Years ago they had new 380s with XTPs as well: every bit as good as the OEM Hornady version.
Give them a try: while not as BIG as Federal or Winchester they produce, IMHO anyway, a lot of quality ammo.
Cheers!
