Has anyone used freedom munitions. Was wondering if they were worth trying? I would be using 9mm for sd9ve.

The reviews on their site seem pretty good
I have shot both their reloads and their "new" ammo. Both have been totally reliable and very clean burning for me. I have yet to experience any kind of failure with Freedom Munitions ammo after about 750 rounds.
I use their remanfactured ammo all the time and am very pleased with it. I use the 115 gr. 9mm and have had no problems at all. I have fired approx. 2000 rounds though my 9mm Shield and 9mm SD9VE and have had zero problems.

I too have used their ammo without any issues. Over 1k rounds so far.

I shot 150 rounds of their 9mm reman 115grn. without any issues. Had to adjust my sight picture though because it's a pretty hot load. Shot their .40 reman as well, no issues either. Being that they have a retail store close to my job site it's gonna be my primary ammo supplier from now on.

The 50 rounds that I have used so far have functioned fine in my Shield 9mm. It was the "New", not reman.

Bought 500 rds from them (9MM 115 gr. Reman). Got to shoot 100 rds at lunchtime. Zero problems.

"New" is new brass, "Reman" is used brass. They have a program where you can send in used brass for credit towards your order.
I've put a couple hundred rounds of 9mm remanufactured 115 grain through my M&P9 with no issues. Last I saw they're below $100 for 500 rounds of it and $5 flat rate shipping on orders $200+. I need to put together an order one of these days for more!
They've got a location in Idaho so my order shipped to me very quick last time!

I've been using their new and reman 9mm, and 38 special, ammo for over a year with no problems until this week. I had one FTE with my Shield and two with my G14 (which I have never had a problem with in two years) last week, and two more with the the Glock yesterday (I have three 15 rd mags so it is easy to go through more 9mm with the G19 than the Shield during each trip to the range). I am not sure if I got a bad batch or what, but for it to happen in two different guns makes me wonder. I have shot well over 1500 rounds of their ammo and haven't really had any problems until the last two weeks. I just ordered 250 rounds of 45 auto 200 grain from them today for my 1911, so I haven't lost faith in them yet. I will report back next week on whether or not the problem persists.
And good luck getting the credit they promise. I never got mine even after I supplied them with proof of delivery to their address. I don't know if my experience is the norm or an exception, but my emails and proof that they received the brass I sent were basically ignored.
Thus, I will no longer do business with Freedom Munitions.
Decent ammo. I bought 1000 rounds of it, and have had no problems. The brass is made in Turkey by Anatolia Cartridge Industry and the ammo is loaded in the USA. I have seen the headstamps "IMT" and "Ammoland" on it. I think the bullets themselves are brass plated lead.
Last year Gray Guns recommended this ammo for folks attending one of their shooting courses (where the student had to bring 700 rounds).
For reloading - the interior space in the shell is somewhat smaller than "typical" because there is an extra brass band around the inside bottom of the shell (inside the "web"). I've never heard or read a good explanation for this band, but I suspect (just a guess) it is because the Turkish-made brass may get loaded for higher-powered "submachinegun" ammo back in Turkey. I haven't noticed any practical effects but would watch reloading in amounts that fill the interior space and cause any compression of the powder (compressing powder can cause high spikes in pressure). Some reloaders talk about the primer vents being irregular in shape, but I haven't noticed that. I reload the stuff in standard, middle of the road loadings using HP38 and AA#5 with good success.

No issues today at the range with over 100 rounds of 9mm Freedom Munitions between both guns. Not sure why I had the problems last week. I am still a fan.
I recently fired 500 rounds of the reman through 3 different weapons - no issues at all

One of the ranges I go to sells Freedom Munitions remanufactured ammo for both their rental guns and otherwise. I've used the reman in one of their rental guns. I've used their new ammunition in my own gun. I've never had a problem with it.

That is about the only ammo I have fired through my SD9VE. I have purchased both remanufactured and brand new. Excellent service and fast delivery times.
