    Cheap Ammo Purchases

    I recently just bought a ton of ammo. but has anyone have experiences with ISlandview Ammo. All I know is they have pretty awesome customer service but that is all.. I also bought from Freedomunition. I am slowly stocking up ammos due to the incoming law. If someone has tips and tricks or suggestions where to get ammo please let me know!

      My FIL just bought 50k rounds of reloads from Island View and I bought 10k from them. I have a Silver membership there and shoot often, good people. I have not shot a lot of their reloads, a few hundred rounds, because I reload my own but I was recently shooting there with a Miwall reload and had this happen. LET ME REITERATE, THIS WAS A MIWALL, NOT AN ISLAND VIEW RELOAD! My point being, problems can happen with factory reloads, your own reloads or brand new factory ammo. Doesn't really matter. I have seen plenty of KBs from "New, factory fresh ammo" as well. Shooting can be a dangerous sport.

          Another Winchester case. Winchester 9mm cases are the worst available. 9 out of 10 blowouts with a 9mm happen with Winchester cases.

          Look at the primer in the above picture. There are absolutely no signs of high pressure. That was a case failure, and not an over pressure failure.

          Be sure to ask your doctor if depression, rectal bleeding, and suicide are right for you.

                Well damn. I just bought a bunch of miwall reloads of their 9 and 38. I hope I don't have issues like yours
                What end up happening to your gun?
