Freedom Munitions 50/50 at best

[DaBlock]

Today I got to shoot a bunch of 115gr REMAN I ordered last year. Mannnnnn.......not good. I've shot of their 10mm and it was fine. Not so much with the 9.

With the 9mm today they were all light loads and had a FTE about every other round. Not even an honest stove pipe, just a half assed stuck case. When they did eject, the ended up on the bench or about a foot behind me (after bouncing off my head). A few hard primers as well (mixed in).

Ran through a Glock26 and P30SK. The Underwood +P I shot, was behind me at 4:30-5:00 by about 10 feet. Plain Winchester white box was about 5-6 feet back at the same direction.

Only the Freedom had any issues, across all three boxes I brought. Yuck. Never again, Freedom...never again.

Luckily I don't think I have any of those and will avoid, thanks for the heads up.

I've had 0 issues shooting their 147gr suppressed.

Are their 147gr remans or new only? Maybe it's just the remanufactured rounds that blow?

I shoot the shit out of their 147s as well. Both new and Reman. I've had a couple issues out of a few thousand rounds.

I only have their remans.

I avoid Atlanta Arms, and Freedom. Two of the worst ammo brands.

Seen issues with their 175grn .308. Almost 4MOA at 100yds out of a proven rifle.

Freeedom made it right, took the guy's ammo back, and issued him replacement ammo. I've no idea how that batch shot.

My go to for ammo is stand 1 armory. Good prices and incredibly fast shipping.

Freedom stuff sucks. I have given them two tries. Never again.

The 178 grain 308 stuff (Hornady AMAX projectiles) was horrible - these were new, not remans. Bought a new bolt gun and it was practically spraying ammo. Thought is was the gun. Me and buddy checked everything - scope rail, action screws, scope, etc. Nope. Ran up to Wally word and all they had was Tula. It shot much better than the Freedom stuff. At the same time, I bought some 556 from them. Opened up the first box to load a mag and the neck of a case was apparently cracked and the bullet actually wiggling around. (I still have this round on my bench).
Got suckered into buying 500 rounds of their Hush 9mm rounds. Bullets set at all sorts of different depths. Sent it back for a refund, at least this part was easy.

Never again. Never.

This pretty well turned me off to all these reloaders.

I almost exclusively shoot their reloads and have only had one hard primer on their .38 special.

So far I've been happy with their 9mm, .38spcl., .357mag, .45acp, .223.

But I haven't ordered from them in some time...

Their 5.56 tracer doesn't light for 100+ yards but I'm not even sure if they still sell that.

So far this thread is 3 for and 3 against. Yep, seems 50/50.

Freedom has gone downhill IMO.

 

[Frogman]

Freedom has gone downhill IMO.

Yeah but now they have the momentum to get back up.

Back to 50/50




Sorry, I'm just a little OCD

Ive had pretty good luck with freedom. A couple bullets with severe seating depth, and one of my first orders getting some really rough handling in shipping are the only problems ive had with it.

Reman, new, hush and even tracers have all functioned fine. Though I only really plink steel for fun, so I cant comment on how accurate the stuff is.
