He would then mark each box so that he knew he had checked each and every one of the rounds on that box and were good to go. Since then I've been doing the same with my carry ammo.
Thank you. This is great advice. My son is a LEO and I will be passing all of this information on to him. They mark their magazines accordingly, but I bet they have never thought about the ammo.

Re: Who has used Freedom Munitions ammo?

This is reloaded ammunition and when you calculate taxes and shipping it is not much less than new ammunition from Cabelas. More than Academy when they have it in stock.

Personally I would rather just shop locally.

Just this is enough to keep me away from them.
Then you guys better stay away from Speer gold dots and federal FMJ. (and probably every other manufacturer - as no one is perfect). I borrowed these from a ktog thread. But in addition I have had issues with Remington and Winchester.
Ouch! I am the world's worse at not inspecting my ammo. :banghead:
