I also picked up 1k of the 9mm blaster as well as some of the .38 and the 5.56 in a mix of bullet choices. So far has worked flawless in all guns with no failures, shoots clean without any noticeable difference in power residue. Fast shipping and good packaging, will buy from again.

I have some that will be here tomorrow afternoon but it sure does look like some new accounts are singing this company's praises. Probably won't order from again as that sure strikes me as unethical.

Two things, guys:
1) I know some people are calling "Shill!", but I'm not convinced. This is a technical forum, so stay on topic and leave the moderating to me. I'm aware of the thread, so enough said. 2) Please do not make any unsubstantiated accusations. If they are connected to USA ammo - fine. If not, you're damaging a legitimate business based on hearsay. Please provide proof for your allegations. |

You will notice how bad there customer service is and contacting them is nearly impossible. They are currently purchasing from numerous places and reboxing to there label. |

Thats 32 bucks/1000 for fesh, PREMIUM, Speer Lawman 9mm TMJ ammunition, not the cheapest factory fresh, non-reloaded, well known brand name ammo I could find. As compared to Freedom's reloads, which are their "seconds" reloads at that; which they are selling. Of course; I realize that the "seconds" reloads they are selling are only distinguished from their "first" reloads due only to "cosmetic blemishes" beacasue of their mythically high quality standards. But frankly; I dont know who they are, and as far as I know at this point, their wonderful reputation for impeccable quality reloaded ammunition is based on what the OP stated in his first post. They are very popular with some of the new members though; which does tell me something. Good luck to you. |

Some of this does smell a little...
Oh well, just trying to help. Order some, shoot it, I bet you'll like it. I didn't know sgammo had lawman that cheap, so I might try some of that too |

Well either way, I wish them luck with their business. After the failure I experienced in a USA Ammo round, I'm happy to hear the responsible members of the company moved on to remedy things.
If they can keep the prices down and production up, they have a great future ahead. Especially with the current market. |

OK - we've established a connection between USA Ammo and these guys. Now back to the technical aspect of their ammo...

If that's the case I apologize. It certainly looked fishy with such a low post count and numerous posts linking to their deals. It is the case. Actually it's a goal of mine to find good deals and they have a lot of them. That's why I've posted them. Like I said I've also posted deals from SGAmmo and AIM. That said I have some of their ammo and it's some good stuff. The blaster ammo is blemished and some is ugly but it works flawlessly so what it looks like doesn't bother me. I also have some of the reman. .308 and it's some good looking stuff. Most of it's Lake City brass. I also have some of their new 44 mag flat nose FMJ and it's some good looking stuff too. All in all they have some good ammo and more importantly they have some smoking prices. These guys were part of USAammo and they left before all the problems that USAammo had happened. I know the owner Rudy that posted the ReelZuruba comments in the threads referenced. Actually I talked to him last night. I talk to a lot of these guys in doing what I do for gun-deals.com to ask about their products and trying to keep on top of what's going on with online vendors. My suggestion to anyone that has reservations about them because they're new is to give them a chance. Sam at SGAmmo was new at one time as well as Bryan AIM. They proved themselves. Hell Sam is the Rockstar of ammo in my mind. The guy's unbelievable. Bryan at AIM is the same way. In time Freedom Munitions will prove themselves one way or the other. What I've seen with them so far is they are new, having some growing pains but I haven't seen anything about their ammo being bad stuff. Mostly what I've seen is they've had a hard time keeping up with shipping. |

well i just bought 500 rounds of this stuff price was good and received it in about 3 days. Very surprised with this blaster just from looks alone. Very clean no damage to any of the casings so far and every thing looks good to go on them. Compared to the winchester i bought at wally world you can not tell much of a difference besides looking at the markings on the bottom. Will hopefully get to shoot it as soon as my gun arrives and i have time to get to the range. But so far very good experience with the company if it fires good i will be buying more as i have not seen anything this cheap.

I placed an order with them on the 14th for 500 rounds of .40 Blaster ammo and it still hasn't shipped yet. I hope its just due to the high demand of ammo right now.

I placed an order for 500 rounds of 10mm on the 26th and its showing a ups label created. The velocity is listed as 1200fps which should be a decent mid-level 10mm load. I also just picked up brand new F1 Chronograph; so I'll report back once my order is delivered and tested.
