Who has used Freedom Munitions ammo?

#1

Post by BigHatNoCows »

Who has used ammo from this company for practice loads? ( http://www.freedommunitions.com/default.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; )
USA based manufacturer of new and re-manufactured ammo. Good reviews and good pricing. Of course, at this point in time they are component constrained and only shipping 9mm.
Has anyone had hands-on experience with theses loads?

Look at the "where to buy 9mm now" thread- several people commented very positively on them.

I bought 500 rounds of 9mm and 250 rounds of .40 from them and have not had any problems with it so far. It's their reman line and it looks like new to me. Good stuff! :thumbs2:

We had a student in class that found two rounds during qualification with the crushed cases near the neck. These were bad enough they wouldn't chamber, but if some of these were not quite as bad and did chamber there could be some issues with them potentially causing a kaboom! I recommended he send them a photo of the rounds and see how their customer service is. Looks to me like their quality control and post production inspection is lacking.

I ordered from them 10 days ago and they charged my credit card for full amount the next day.

Since then ... NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH ... no contact of any kind. I've called multiple times, only to get voice mail or a busy signal every time. Sent multiple emails. No response.

I knew when ordering it would be 2-3 weeks to RECEIVE my ammo. But they're automated system said I'd receive regular updates on order status.

If I don't hear something by mid week, I'm calling my credit card company to complain and ask about canceling payment.

I know ammo manufacturers are busy with the current panic, but this complete lack of any communication is unacceptable.

I used it on 2 stages at the FB 3 Gun. It worked flawlessly in my 2011.

Freedom Munition is my preferred provider of 9mm... I have bought over 2k rounds in the last 9 months from them. I have used their blaster, remanufactured and new rounds on my Glocks and Taurus 709 and never had an issue with the rounds (had malfunctions with the Taurus, but was due to cleaning the factory grease, not the ammo).

I highly recommend them... I've been to their retail store in NW Houston twice and they are nice friendly people.

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.

I've ordered from them several times with good results.

I have used their 9mm and 5.56mm with no failures of any kind. I would have no problem recommending this ammo to anyone.

i would try calling their storefront 281-416-5493 or 888-743-1820 and let them know your deal maybe they might be able to help or at least get you in contact with someone from the main location
