    ** DISREGARD** Is this freedom munitions or freedom ammunition? Friend of mine ordered from Freedom Ammunition (not the same company as Freedom Munitions) and had lots of issues feeding ammo in multiple pistols. Had to seat the bullet deeper in the case to get them to run. ** DISREGARD**

    Actually, that was with Fed Arm. My last order from Freedom Ammunition has been perfect so far. We've shot about 400 rds so far without a hiccup.

    I have fired thousands of rounds .38, 9mm, .40 and .45 and I have nothing but great things to say. They make reloads and new ammo and I buy mostly new but I suppose one can get a batch that doesn't cycle well. Most, if not all, of their pistol ammo is copperplated and loaded to fairly low velocities though that should not matter. I think freedom munitions is one of the best values in ammo. They also make extreme bullets and same there...really good prices on bullets for handloaders.

    I checked my receipt, it is indeed Freedom Ammunition. I sent them an email explaining the issue. Lets see if they even bother to reply.

    Never had a problem with Freedom Ammunition 9mm but had to send a whole case of 300BLK back and get my money back because not a single round would even chamber in my AR or my Remy bolt gun. Turns out the case neck wasn't formed correctly, the shoulder wasn't pushed down far enough. Took a while, but they finally refunded my money.

    HELLO,
    Sorry for the inconvenience. But Freedom munitions is completely different from Freedom Ammunition.

    So which are you? Munitions or Ammunition? Your name says mfg which doesn't specify

    I just got an inhouse message from them asking for my order number. I sent it along, good sign. Lets see what happens. The ammo looks real good just does not cycle well

    Well they contacted me but were Realllly nasty to me and basically called me a liar. Here is the actual exchange.

    This is NOT the first time sir and my review and feed back has been truthful and physically witnessed by others. I do not appreciate your tone with me and you can rest assured I will be posting your exact words. I don't want a refund from you if you want me to go on line and lie to people to protect your garbage product sir. How you ever got in a position that you presently hold with that kind of attitude towards you're customers is beyond me.

    You're. Your. Company's . Companies. Shit it doesn't even matter. Sounds like a shabby company with shit customer service. Thanks for letting me know where to not spend my hard earned money. (And Steve needs to go back to school)

    Mod should correct the spelling in the title so when people search for reviews they may come across this thread
