    Best ammo company ever!

    Tactical Ammunition
    I had the pleasure with dealing with Tactical Ammunition again for the second time. The first time I bought 2000rds of 5.56 and 50rds of their .308 175 Nosler. I disputed their CC fee because it showed up as "Heller Enterprises." They called me and told me that is the Enterprise name. I then had the dispute taken care of but the CC company took about a week and a half to get it taken care of. They believed me that it was taken care of and didn't bother me about it again. I called them today to order 1000rds of their .308 because I had better results with it than HSM and it was very comparable to the Federal Gold Medal Match. It is a lot less money too! When I called, they remembered exactly who I was and gave me a hard time for the CC thing. They were very friendly and easy to do business with. They are by far my favorite ammo company out there. That says a lot since I live 5 minutes from BVAC and 20 minutes from HSM. Most people love them but I don't like what I have seen. That is just a personal preference and was not meant to be bad mouthing their companies. Plus Tactical Ammunition's .308 is a lot more accurate in my rifle.

    *Update*
    Okay, I went to the range. It was below zero without the wind chill. I swear the range is 15 degrees colder than the city because of it's location. I didn't spend too much time there because of the cold. I was shooting with a brand new optic today so keep that in mind. I also forgot my allen set so I couldn't change the zero stop. I was shooting low 4.5 mils. I don't use holdovers very often so that was kind of a change of pace. As you can see, the bullets progressively raised up higher as the barrel warmed. I didn't know it would cause that drastic of a change. The photo is also upside down. If it was right side up, you could see how the temp of the barrel affected the shot. The flyer on the second photo was from when I was sighting in the new scope. It wasn't part of that group. All the shots were taken from a single bag and using my hand as the rear rest. It was not off a professional bench or something to keep it steady.

    Rifle Used: Remington 700 5R 24" .308
    Temperature: Below 0
    Shooter: Green
    Range: 100 yards
    Wind: Don't know.haha
    Elevation: 3000ft





    Shipping
    They have great shipping times. The ammo either goes out the same day or the next day. They also shipped the 5.56 in ammo cans so that was nice. I love extra ammo cans!

    Components used
    I was a little worried about the Nosler 175 HPBT bullets because I have always liked the SMK bullets in the past. I was delightfully surprised with the performance of the bullet coupled with the quality powder, primers and brass used. I love how they actually tell what components are used in their cartridges. Most companies don't do that. I can understand if they have some secret powder but for the most part, no one really does. They are just hiding the crappy components most of the time. You don't have to post your actual load data but at least tell what you are using. So that was a big plus.

    Customer Service and discount program
    They are very friendly people to talk to. Not only that, but they offer a referral discount that can make their great prices even better. They gave me 10% off and free shipping since 3 of my friends bought ammo from them.

    I can't believe I only paid 63.8 cents a round for such quality ammunition.

    Other Ammunition
    They offer many different types of ammunition. Everything from .22lr to .50cal. I have no experience with anything but the 5.56 and the .308 but if it is even near the same quality as those two, it will be amazing ammunition.


    Note
    I am not being paid or offered any better deal than what anyone else can get by posting this. I only wrote this because I feel they are a great company and I would love for them to continue to prosper so I will have the pleasure of buying from them again in the future.

          Give them a call. They won't try to make money on you from the shipping. More than likely they are having a problem with their shipping calculator. OR to CA is not that far so shipping won't be that much.

                Beat this price. 1000rds of 55gr. 5.56 for $240 Ammo Deal

                I have 2000rds of this ammunition and absolutely love it. The blems may have a small dent in the case or the brass isn't as shiny. It is a lot more accurate than that Prvi or PMC ammo everyone shoots.

                    Their shipping rates are a bit pricey... Literally adding over $0.25 per round for 50 bmg, halving the price difference between their reloads and current new production Lake City ammo.

                      Give them a call and they will change the shipping price. Their shipping calculator on the website is messed up. They will give you the real shipping rate which is a lot cheaper. dlouie87 had the same problem until he called them. They fixed it for him.


                      I updated the "groups" section.
