Freedom Munitions Review

Got to the range today to shoot my test batch of ammo from Freedom Munitions. I bought 250 rounds of 115 grain 9mm and 100 of 55 grain .223, both remanufactured ammo. The .223 I got was part of their BLASTER training line that is not as pretty in the brass, but still tested to make sure that it'll handle the pressures required.

First, the business part. This ammo is significantly less expensive than any other place I can find. I ordered my ammo in the afternoon of Jan 11, it shipped via FedEx Ground the next morning and arrived halfway across the country on the 18th. I'm not sure if it's something they do often or not, but I got some nice goodies included with the ammo. What they were responsible for was very quick, I just hate waiting for shipping.

As far as the ammo goes, 250 rounds of 9mm in a Glock 19 and M&P 9C went off without a hitch. I only shot 50 of the .223, but no problems there either. The ammo looks good enough, even the Blaster brass doesn't look too bad. I cleaned all the guns after the range trip, but the Glock was the only one that was clean before. The barrel after only 90 rounds was still very clean with very little residue left in the chamber. Recoil felt a little lighter in the pistol loads, but everything cycled well. The .223 felt like .223.

All in all, I will be buying lots more of this ammo and because of the prices, it won't cost me an arm and a leg.

ok, in a moment of weakness i bought 1000 rounds of their 9mm... we'll see how it goes. i discovered today that a range day eats up a brick of ammo, and theose come once a month, so, it's GOTTA be cheaper right?
