Firearms supply chain woes....worst ever...

Is this the same Freedom Munitions? I ordered 200 rounds of .45 ACP from them earlier this evening...

Same logo. The old place also had a factory in ID. I reckon it's them.

Lots of people around here used them. Most were satisfied.

I kept hearing people complain about ammo that had the characteristics of being underloaded, and they often had recalls of ammo for being overloaded. Didn't give me confidence.

I used to shoot a lot of their stuff way back in the day. It was mostly OK from what I remember. No big issues come to mind. I shot a lot of their .38.

Saw multiple issues with them including multiple 9mm Squibs in two cases of 9mm from two different lots in a Bruce gray class. In decades of shooting including years of full time firearms training I’ve never seen so many squibs at one time.

@JM Campbell had issues with their 300 black out rifle ammo as well.

Split a case of their reloaded 9mm ball with a buddy in the first Obama panic. I had 2 failures to extract in 500 rounds, and I don't think he had better results. That lot was loaded in the grungiest range brass I've ever seen.

Broke an early (~2006) 9mm M&P flawless streak. In the roughly 7k I had on that gun before I sold it, Freedom Munitions was responsible for the only two malfunctions.

Well chit. I’m not a fast shooter so I’ll probably check it out in my Blackhawk first.

Just for giggles, were the issues pre-2018?

You guys know better.

I've heard as much and believe it, I just didn't have any negative experiences myself. It probably helped that I was mostly shooting .38SPL LRN.

Yes pre-2018

Thanks. If my username changes to Lefty or Stumpy you’ll know something went wrong...

I ran through 2 cases of Freedom 9mm and a bunch of 762 Nato without an issue. I have heard reports of problems from credible sources though so I've stopped buying their ammo. What is amazing to me is how much they are charging !
