    Who Has Used Miwall's Reloads?

    I'm asking because I'd like to stop spending money at Wal-Mart. The only thing keeping my wallet there is their ridiculously low price for WWB. Yes, I know that reloading is an option, but I don't really have the time for that. The only other viable option I can see is Miwall's reloads that I would get from local gun shows. I figure it'd be good to help both the gun show promoters and directly benefit an ammo manufacturer.

    Of course, I saw that thread about the horribly deformed round someone posted here. I've gotten some like that to a lesser degree (but would still cause a FTF) from Remington and Winchester. So, my question is how much of Miwall's reloaded ammo have you used and would you still keep on using it.

    Oh, and keep in mind that I plan on just using it for blasting ammo and for IPSC so it doesn't need to be high quality ammo, just stuff that goes 'bang', I can blast away with, and won't tear up my pocketbook.

    P.S. If you've been scared away from using it, could you please elaborate on why. Thank you.

    I used to buy their 9mm and .45 reloads when they were cheap. Never had a problem with them. Now I reload even my pistol ammo.

      I used a 250 round can of .45ACP, a 250 round can of .357 reloads. Every one went bang at the appropriate time. The new ammo is plenty cheap enough though.
      I've shot their new manufacture .30 Carbine in my Inland M1 Carbine and my Blackhawk. I just bought 500 more rounds of the .30 Carbine and a 250 round can of their .44 Mag LSWC.
      I think they make excellent ammo for a reasonable price. I don't find it any dirtier than WWB, Blazer or American Eagle.
      I always try to pick up some quantity when I'm at a gunshow.

        I've used a ton of their stuff, primarily 9mm, .40 and .45. I've only had 1 problem and that was a recent mini-KB in 9mm. Best as I can guess, the round had more powder than it should have. Luckily no damage to my firearm or myself other than a light burn on the web of my hand.

        I'd probably buy from them again if the chance arose.

          They have a warehouse in Salem, Oregon which will be cheaper on shipping charges. i've used Miwall before and didn't have any problems.

            Ah, well I was planning on buying them in quantities of +1000, so I think the shipping would cost more than the $15 gun show fee. Plus, I'm not at home when the UPS / DHL / Fedex guy arrives, so I wouldn't be able to sign for the shipment.

              I've shot tons of their stuff and will be buying more. I shoot their 44 Specials, .40's, and .223's all the time.

              The 223 ammo is far from accurate but for the price who cares.

                    I like their stuff. The way i look at it is that they are close to the price of straight brass and you get a free bullet.

                      I am really interested in the answers here. I bought some and later found out it was reloads. I am kinda nervous I am going to blow up one of my guns with them.

                        M1 .30 out of a can. I went through a couple hundred rounds and hit 2 or 3 duds (can't recall now.)

                        At least it was cheap-ish.

                          Tried it, but a ANEMIC BATCH made me never use it again

                          Calguns user DEVJUNK762 bought a box of .357 loads that had less oomph than the most pathetic of .38s. I guess it'd work for range loads, but certainly not for hunting or home defense duty.

                            I tried it and never had any issues with the 9mm and .45. But with their prices and the prices of just about everyone else that sells ammo going up, I decided that I will be getting into reloading. I am not hanging at my range asking people if they are keeping their brass and stocking up on brass and reading a reloading manual so that when I do get my Reloading gear I will have plenty of brass to keep me busy.

                              BTW they are loaded weak. The .44mag and .357 mag were loaded to special loads. But paper is paper and the brass is worth more than the whole load when you get them on special/
