PSA about Freedom Munitions

[drewga11]

Maybe wrong forum, but whatever. I know some people here are prob too ammo snobby to buy from them anyway, but for those who do buy their ammo.

Check all your rounds after you get them. I usually don't check mine, but for some reason I pulled a box out to look at them today when shipment arrived.

I found one in first box that was obviously not seated all the way in the case, and 2 boxes later I found one that I'm not sure if it's a soft point or if the end of the bullet somehow got chopped off. Took pics and emailed them, but haven't heard back yet. Will update when I do with their response.

I should prob also mention this was supposedly

"New" 308 175gr HPBT "Match", not their remanufactured stuff.

The seating die had a little too much freedom, for sure...

That ammo is also sold by LAX ammo. For range ammo/practice it's just ok. I would never make it my EDC/personal defense ammo.

That one round looks like the HP was seated in the case and the boat tail served up.......

Keep us posted how they treat you.

Shot a ton of their ammo back in the day. It always went bang. Don't shoot as much these days and haven't ordered from them in a while.

I used freedom munitions until a round blew the magazine out of my Glock 19. Never did figure out exactly what it was other than a 9mm round popping off like a 44mag. **** them, never again.

You’re right, I’m too much of an ammo snob to buy this garbage. And this post solidifies that justification. There are a few things in life that you shouldn’t skimp on. Fuel, ammo, meat, liquor and women.

Never shot their ammo but read many stories about how bad their quality is. If your gonna shoot reman or a secondary manufacture stick with people that have a great rep, ie Summit.

Freedom is junk. Always has been

I have shot a lot of Freedom over the years. I have never had issue with their 9mm until a few weeks ago I had a primer not ignite. I did have issue with their 38 special years ago. I had several failures to fire in a box. When I called them they didnt seem to care. I think I had to send them the rest of the box and they sent me a new box. At the time shipping was cheap enough but I wasnt happy
