LAX Reload Ammo

[BitViper]

Neewbie question..
Any problems with shooting their reloaded ammo in 9mm

It's pretty underpowered, but goes bang.

Always works for me.

Interesting, unless they are not loading to their specified velocity (I always ask for their velocity specs to make sure they meet minimum PF for IDPA/USPSA), I've found their loads to be about 130 - 135 power factor for 115 and 124 gr. bullets... It feels like this also when shooting. Ammo Bro's reloaded ammo however do tend to feel underpowered and more inconsistent.

With all reloaded ammo, I've found them to be inconsistent; LAX just a little less so than other brands, and my guns have less problems with them.

Thanks guys.. I'm shooting at 10 yds.. so its more for practice. I suck with a hand gun and need the practice

They will go straight from ten yards.

It will get the job done for sure. I just get weak and erratic ejections from them out of every gun I shoot them out of.

Not sure where you buy the ammo. At the shooting range or in their store (around the corner)? Last I went there, there was such little price difference between brand names and LAX reloads. Did not make sense to buy reloads. I'm talking about a case (1k rounds).
That said, I have shot many 1000s of lax reloads. Not the best but they shoot straight for indoor shooting.

What's the price? Winchester White Box is $17 for 100 rounds at Wal-Mart.

When a customer wants anything cheap there is always someone who will serve it up cheap.

The magnums are a tad slow, but fun to shoot. Why buy new brass when you can get a can from LAX, shoot it and still get a goodly amount of reloads out of the cases? Revolver loads anyway, can't speak to 9,.40 etc.

I've had good luck with it, but a buddy of mine bought a big order of several thousand that had problems. Underpowered and not-seated primers. Unfortunately, it had been a good year or more since he bought it until we started shooting it, so we weren't able to get anything back/returned/replaced.

I haven't bought it since because of that.

I have had horrible experience with their 38 special reloads. Two different lots of ammo consistently squibbed my gun about 15% of the time, about as often in each lot.

On the bright side, their customer service was great about exchanging the first lot for the second lot and then ultimately refunding my money.

There's better options than LAX ammo...

I've had problems with their .300 blackout.
