Would you shoot this?

[Louchia]

Wow!!!! Thanks for the post. I haven't purchased any FM. After seeing those photos, I don't think I ever will. I'm not a rich man, but to take a chance on **** like that isn't worth $1-$2 a box

I had some Blazer 9mm that had a few in one 50 round box like that. Also, 5 or 6 rounds of Federal American Eagle .40 with the same issue in a 100 round value pack. I have shot thousands of FM rounds over the years and have never seen that before with their ammo.

Really hate to see this, I have reloaded thousands of rounds of their xtreme bullets in both 9mm and 45acp with no problems. I wouldn't shoot any of those you have there.

Well I finally received a response from FM on Thursday and they told me they were going to send a prepaid label to return the defective ammo. That was four days ago and still no label...

I cant say yet if they are gona make this right or not but I can say I will never purchase anything from them ever again.

I know this was some time ago... But sometimes email 'clients' will send stuff to your Spam/Junk folder if it doesn't recognize the sender. Could it have ended up there?

Did you ever get it sent back?
What was the outcome?

Thanks for posting pix of the Freedom ammo. It's one thing to have a manufacturing problem, but it's a whole other smelly kettle of fish to package and ship it. The simplest visual inspection shows the problem.

Bad company!!

I've ordered a lot of the reman ammo from Freedom all without a hitch all has been very good I get 9mm and 38 spl I would call them again about the return label.

I'd still be interested in knowing whether it actually was something that could have happened on the line, as opposed to something that happened during shipping, such as rough handling by the Carrier.

The shipping boxes don't have padding on all sides. The 50 round boxes are put into the shipping box, with wadded paper stuffed on top. If the Shipping box had been dropped a few times, there ya go.

I'm not trying to defend FM... Just showing how it could have happened besides in the factory.

Regardless of fault..

Just don't shoot them. Not ANY of them

Sorry for the delay in updating yall... Freedom did finally send me a UPS return label. Just received the refund yesterday. So other than being a bit slow not bad for a return. Still don't think I will be ordering from them in the future. Just a bit concerning how they let ammo that far out of spec out the door.

The short rounds were random in the 50rnd boxes. One in this box... two in that box sort of thing. There were even a couple rounds that were a bit long. I don't think it could have been shipping damage.

In my opinion, very very bad news. Bullets pushed in that far will certainly generate power that is way too high and possibly dangerous to your gun and you.

I'd have to wonder about powder loads, too.

They go back with a letter of complaint.
