?? on Reman vs New ammo difference ??

[gsxr310]

i did a search and found a couple threads... so is the difference from reman ammo is that it was "once" fired brass? if so, is there a difference besides price vs performace/reliability?

[far from tactical]

Ive shot a lot of lax ammo reloads and they have been great so I got no problem running reloads. I will only shoot them from well know company's

[slayer61]

Yup... lax and freedom.

You never really know if the brass is "once fired"
That said if you buy re-man ammo from a good commercial outfit it will be fine to use.

This. I have a case of Black Hills reloaded ammo, it's my special stash for just in case.

I pretty much exclusively shoot freedom reloads since I bought my first gun last year. I get a few failure to fires once in a while but since the ammo is priced right I don't really care.

[gsxr310]

Ya I've been using freedom exclusively now. Just wanted to know if any ftf/fte would happen with the new vs reman

A buddy got a bad batch of reloads. KA-BOOMed his 700.

Remington replaced the bolt, inspected the rifle and sent it back to him.

Lessons here:
-buy good ammo
-buy good guns

A lot depends on what type of ammo, and the manufacturer you're dealing with.

DISCLAIMER: I am not an expert and have not performed any meaningful or scientific tests.

I think with pistol ammo, with a good manufacturer of reloads like Freedom Munitions, you're going to get pretty good reliability and even performance with the reloads. Pistol shells are not bottle necked and their reloading process is fairly simple compared to rifle ammo.

Rifle ammo on the other hand, is more complex and many require trimming each time they're reloaded to remain within specification length. If the brass has been trimmed multiple times due to multiple reloads, you're going to get brass that are lighter than normal ones. So you have more things that could go wrong with reloaded rifle ammo.

I have bought a lot of reloads from Freedom Munitions, both rifle and pistol ammo, and never had any problems. Oddly enough, the only issues I had with them, was a few Failure To Fire with their "New" 5.56mm ammo, which are repackaged ammo from Bosnia and not made by Freedom themselves.

However, as I learn more about reloading, going forward, I will continue to buy reload ammo for my pistol. But I'll stick with factory ammo for my AR-15, save the brass and reload those myself so I can sure how many times those brass has been reloaded previously.

I will never buy reman ammo especially when cost almost as much as new factory loads. For example why would I pay 15$ for a box of reman 9mm when a new box of win 9mm is 12-13$ wtf👎

For me, it is about the reliability of the company. I love Freedom Munitions stuff, and never had a problem with either their "new" or "remanufactured" ammo. Their prices are also pretty much the best out there.

Have used over 1000 rounds of reloads (9mm and 45acp) from Surefire between my friend, cousin, and myself without any problems. We get them at the OC gun show. I have also purchased reloads from Freedom, to try them out, but have not had a chance to use them yet.

I get 500 9mm reloads for $96 from Surefire and $97 from Freedom, which comes out to about $9.70 per box/50. I also buy factory ammo and usually averages out to $13-14 a box of 50. (Shipping but no tax.)

Sincerely, I really like the crisp pop of the Surefire and that of the Magtechs!

Where are you getting your reman? I have never paid more than $10.90/50 rounds of 9mm.
