Freedom Munnitions

They are about to open a Houston location, so i will be able to pick it up and save shipping charges (but will pay sales tax).

Really? Do you know where in town they will be? I'm on the west side.

I have been looking at them real hard........
$10.50 for a box of 50 re-man. 380 sounds good to me. Good for the range. That will work.

After doing the math on the 9mm.......I can buy Fed 115 fmj at Walmart cheaper than Freedom's re-mans after paying shipping.

same here I found a good deal at reliant awhile back but now their shipping is double freedoms. When I pick up some 380 from freedom in the near future will prob, get a couple box's of 45acp and 9mm. I can find the 9 sometimes cheaper but then with the sales tax its about the same. Take a look a Freedom's Blaster training rounds, just blemished rd.

I buy this stuff often, never had a problem with it. I am always looking for 9 mm at my local stores and sometime I find it on sale, but when it is it's about the same price as freemdom. But the 380, 38 sp, and 40 cal I cant find cheaper anywhere around me then freedom. I'm at the range every week and run on average 200 rounds a visit so every little bit helps.

freedom has a 4th sale, using coupon code ( july4th5off ) gets 5% off. Not a real big savings, but everything helps

Just bought some of the 4th of July sale. I've been using "Blaster" in both my 45 and 38 without a hickup. As far as training ammo goes, I don't see how you can beat Blaster...bang for the buck. And, it's as clean or cleaner than any ammunition I have fired, including Federal, American Eagle, Independence, Sellier &Belloit, Winchester or Remington. In fact the dirtiest of the bunch, without a doubt, is Winchester White Box(WWB). I love this stuff!!

I got a bunch of FM 45 acp 230 gr jhp's, and they were pretty disappointing. I got an average muzzle velocity of about 850 fps from a 5" 1911. They say they do 890 fps, so that was in the ballpark. But when I put them through my PT145 the velocity dropped to 704 fps. I doubt that's fast enough for them to expand, which kind of defeats the purpose of a jhp. Just to put them in perspective, Winchester Personal Protection 230 gr jhp's are rated at 880 fps and they do 785 fps from my PT145. I figure the freedom munitions stuff uses some kind of powder that doesn't like short barrels. I also get a pretty snappy recoil and more noise and I think that's for the same reason - powder continuing to burn long after the projectile is gone.

They seemed to do okay in terms of performance from the 1911, but they also had a handful of feed issues. On the plus side it's some pretty consistent stuff, and the standard deviation was only 7.93 fps for an eight-shot string - again from the 5" barrel.

I'd say it's pretty good ammo for a full sized 1911, and even better for a full sized 45 ACP with a ramped barrel - like say a 24/7 OSS. Reason I say that is because, although performance was poor in the PT145, reliability was excellent. The feed problems I saw in the 1911 I'd never seen with any other ammo, but I shot some more through it this afternoon and it all behaved. But I think the bullet ogive liked the ramped 145 barrel better.

I don't think I'm going to buy anymore of their jhp's since I'd put them in a short barreled pistol. They'd be fine for target shooting, but I can find cheaper ammo that performs just as well for that. I might give their 230 gr fmj's a shot though. The price is right, and for pure target shooting I don't care so much about how fast the projectile is moving.

I can't speak for the jhp's, just the RN ball-B, for inexpensive target ammo. For my PT745 defensive piece, I use Speer GD short barrel. But for target ammo it's great!
