speer lawman ammo

[Jack L]

Has anyone here used this ammo for target shooting? It's really inexpensive. What exactly is it? Comes in many calibers.

Thanks

I've used some before and if I remember correctly, they're "cost savings measure" is using an unreloadable aluminum casing.

It's good stuff. I've shot this in multiple calibers and it works quite well. Fairly clean, accurate and usually priced quite well.

Lawman is Speer's line of training/plinking ammo.
Their self defense line - Gold Dot - is highly regarded by many.

And it's is brass casing. Falconis may be thinking of one of the lines of Blazer, which is aluminum.

I have and do use speer lawman ammo. It is good stuff and the brass is reloadable.

I use it all the time. First rate in every respect. It is brass cased ammunition and reloadable. To be perfectly honest, I cannot understand why it is so inexpensive, (not cheap). I go through 600-800 rounds of 9mm a month. Never had an issue.

You're thinking of aluminum BLAZER

I've used some before and if I remember correctly, they're "cost savings measure" is using an unreloadable aluminum casing.

Which comes with an aluminum case. Not reloadable but good range ammo none the less.

Speer is brass and reloadable and a good option for shooting.

Blazer Brass is also inexpensive (a WALMART request) and is reloadable as well.

I bought 1000 rounds of it from SGammo last year, for a training class.
Works great, and I'd buy it again. Only thing I can think of to nit-pick would be that the blue ink on the box tends to come off on your hands. Ammo is great though and even feeds in my Kimber (and the bullet has a flat nose)

Thanks for the input. It's amazingly inexpensive, half the cost of most other target ammo. Just ordered some.

You called this "target shooting" ammo but I assume you mean "plinking" or "practice" ammo. Don't expect competition-level accuracy with Lawman ammo.

As with any ammo of this calibre (pun intended), check each cartridge for defects before loading into your magazine. Quality control is not as high (which is why the price is so low).

I shoot the Remington UMC bulk packs and generally find at least one deformed cartridge per pack. One of the easiest steps is to simply hold up the open tray of ammo and look for any that sit lower than the other cartridges.

Speer Lawman ammo is way better than that.

IMO, it's the cleanest shooting factory ammo I have ever used, shoots where you point, and I have never cast my gaze upon a defective round.

My old PD used Speer Lawman for tactical matches, training, and general use. We used the Gold Dot for field use. Good stuff...

Well that settles that. Looks like I just found new target ammo. Not pro target events, I am speaking of practicing my own groupings.

[odysseus]

This is good reliable ammo for the range, I have bought it many times if the price is right.

[Cyc Wid It]

Never had any problems with it in multiple calibers.

I thought the lawman line was loaded to give the same recoil as their gold dot lines of ammo to provide good practice.

Maybe just an Urban Legend I heard.
