I just ordered another 250 rounds of 55gr FMJ .223 for $75 and 40 rounds of 150gr .308 for about $20 from Freedom Munitions. Shipping is $22, I dont remember who turned us onto them but Thank You Again. Also our own BHarada is the first reviewer under the .223 55gr FMJ ammo. LOL, our Forum members do get around!!!!

FM re-manufactured .223 55 gr FMJ rounds per 1000 rounds is about 33 cents a round. Pretty good price! Also look at Natchez Shooters Supplies. They have PMC Bronze 55 gr FMJ on sale for $6.29 a box of 20. If you buy 1000 rds you'll pay about 34 cents a round. If you like 5.56 NATO Cheaper than Dirt has PMC X-Tac 55 gr FMJ (M193 equivalent) for $6.89 a box of 20. If you buy 1000 rds you'll pay about 37 cents a round. I've shot both in my 15 OR. Both perform well.
 
I am thinking I need to pick up some reloads so that I have more brass to play with. I have about 1300 rounds loaded but would like to have about 1800 but would be happier with 2500 or so. I could have a lot to reload but still have a bunch to shoot, save reloading for the winter time when there isnt a lot to do

winter time equals some good coyote / deer hunting. And if your like me you duck hunt. If I lived in kansas you wouldn't see me from september to february.
 
I just ordered 500 rounds of 55gr FMJ .223 for $169.42 shipped from Freedom Munitions, that works out to 34 cents per round...not too shabby.

Me for punching paper, I'd rather save some cost using quality reloads, and I like the idea of giving my cash to a real USA based company...helping out the little guy who's employing local workers.

If I like it, I will surely buy more...

So of those of you that have ordered 223 ammo, did you get their standard reloads or has anybody tried their "Blaster Training Ammo"?? They say it is same ammo with cosmetic blemishes??

that is the best coyote/ predator hunting, our deer seasons have been cut back so much that I usually get mine during handicapped and then a doe during rifle season and that takes about 4 hours total. My wife and I raise chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys and have over 100 birds. I do do a little pheasant hunting then but being retired and not much into TV I get the opportunities to reload then, plus here where I live in Kansas there isnt much water and the wind blows so much in the winter that I hunt whatever days are available but I also have days that I can reload, right now I have such great prairie dog hunting and coyote hunting, not for furs for predation control. But I got my new electronic caller with active decoy and cant wait to try it out. But I do plan on a lot more coyote hunting this winter and we have a cougar on our farm that I would love to call in and take pictures of, it and the bobcats I like to take pics of....I also ordered some of the Freedom Munitions Blaster ammo just to check it out, a 100 of the 55gr JHP 223, some 62 grain penetrator 223 and some of their 308. Mostly to check out and then to reload. I have a bunch of components but would rather be out PDog hunting.

There's only a $6 price difference between the Blaster and reload. I may take a flyer on a small quantity of the Blaster ammo just to check it out, but I have no reservations on ordering more of the reloads.
 
SW Gun Guy, I ordered some of their blaster in 223 and 308, BHarada has ordered some for his pistol but hasnt shot it yet but says it looks great!!
 
Bill in the last couple of days I have ordered an assorted 540 rounds from them plus the Hat,,,I needed a new formal ball cap..LOL

found these for you guys that just ordered a ton of ammo. I am going to order a few thousand rounds and around 100 pmags then I will be ready for the zombies! 30 rounds black pmags $11.99

Magpul PMAG .223 Rem 30 Round Black [MGMPI211BLK] - $11.99 : HamLund Tactical, AR Rifle Parts and Accessories Including Uppers, Lowers, Stocks, Forearms, Grips, and Magazines
 
All of my experiences with Freedom Munitions have been very positive. Great price and excellent customer service from an American company. What more could you ask for?
 
I went ahead and ordered 500 of the Blaster in 223 tonight. $162 in the door for me. It is American made and they are reloadable cases. I agree, "What more could you ask for?"
 
WWM..I used to have close to 100 brand spankin new mil-surp mags with the upgraded followers, I still have 12 with one Pmag, and they are all loaded so thanks but I dont have room for any more.

Yeah I only take my 20's out shooting with me for the exact same reason LOL
 
I have ten Stoner 10-rnd mags that I load up before heading to the range. I also fill up ten stripper clips so that the first reload at the range doesn't take up much time.

With all the magazines that I have I cant get the wife to come on board with me getting 10 round Mags. But it would sure slow down my ammo usage by other family members LOL.

The nephews and younger cousins just love to make her hot!!!

You want to slow your rate of fire? Just add a bullet button to your AR. hahaha
 
Thanks for the tip on Freedom Munitions. Being a newbi, I hadn't heard of them. Recently got 250rds for the M&P 40 from Natchez, but I'll give FM a call when I order for the Sport.
 
As above I ordered 500 Blaster in 223 late Tuesday night. Got an e-mail Wednesday morning that it was shipped. Later yesterday when the UPS tracking number showed up in their system, it says it will be here next Wednesday (due to the 3 day holiday weekend). I think that is awesome service. I will report in again after I shoot some on the weekend after they arrive.
 
Freedom Munitions is going to love me in the last week I have ordered:
450 rds 223
200 rds 308
50 rds 45lc
100 rds 45acp
100 rds 9mm

Just starting to feel like I might be starting to have enough ammo LOL but you can never have too many bullets!!!!
I guess this is better than AR parts off of eBay LOL

I received an order of 200 blaster .223 today. Half were 55gr fmj and half were 62gr penetrator .223. Because they come loose packed I was moving them from the loose packed boxes and into the plastic 50 round storage boxes. To cut to the chase I received 100 of the 55gr but I only received 98 of the 62gr. I know its only 2 bullets but I felt the need to bring it to their attention. I just emailed them and am waiting on a response and will let you all know what they say.:(
 
I received an email that said "will do". I had two orders ship yesterday from them and I was looking at them today and the shipping weight is quite a bit higher than I expected so I believe rtquig might be absolutely correct.
