Anyone know about this Company? I contacted them to see what they offer in 10mm.

Never heard of them. I wonder whose brass they use, and if the loads are any more powerful than 40S&W power level. The started at price puts them at 60 cents a round, but the question is whether or not they're even worth that. I didn't see that they're even advertising a velocity. Impossible to tell if it's good or garbage. Over $100 is pretty pricey just to find out.
I was hoping to get a response but maybe tomorrow.
Yeah. If they get back to you it will be interesting to see where they're based out of.
Googled it. Run by a guy named Jerome Mims out of Edgewater Florida. Company was licensed to operate by the city of Edgewater on 5/2013. Mr. Mims is also associated with "Woods n Water Outdoors, Inc."
Looks to me like ZLS is a new player in the start-up ammo game.
Nice research Chicho. Thanks 8)
BTW, Welcome to the forum.
No problem. Ive been lurking, reading, and learning for the past few months.
This guy has got one hell of a source for reloading components. Since January ZLS has sold literally hundreds of thousands of pieces of once fired brass. Began selling manufactured ammo online at the end of May. Which would coincide with the business license.
Interesting. Maybe I will hear something and can ask some questions. It will be interesting when Littlestone gets their 10mm going too.
This is in my neck of the woods (or maybe swamp would be a better description). Jerome Mims, out of Edgewater, FL? Edgewater is just north of a tiny town called Mims. Wonder if he is related to the city founders? There is a decent outdoor gun range in Mims that I go to occasionally.
Maybe you could buy me a pack and ship it. I can pay you for it or send me a handful in a swap.
Intercooler, I would be happy to do that. But, does he have place of business where I can pick up? I searched for a website or shop, but didn't find anything. Looks like he sells on gunbroker only. Did I miss something?
I guess you could message him on one of the auctions and ask.
Yes, I'll register & do that later today.
Gunbroker shows no bids, he ran out of time, these are reloads....
Fast response, guaranteed product, and loaded with premium components. Call direct for best deal. Just ordered 45's and I'll let you know how they perform. 45s load at 770 FPS. If you are particular on specs, he'll load to your specs if you want. Paid less than I see referenced here. If it shoots like (or better) than good factory load, their prices are good at $.50 per. I can return unused product for refund if not satisfied. To me, PROFESSIONAL reloads are great if bought cheaper (for solid tips). They seem like good folks who want to deliver high quality product. We'll see what he charges for hotter loads when/if I re-order.

That right there is why I started handloading for myself 35 years ago. ;D Mild to Wild nothing like rolling your own. most have be more accurate than factory loads! Casting my own bullets makes for even cheaper loading & shooting. ::)
Welcome to the forum and Good luck and looking for your report of results. 8)

That all sounds pretty good. Hope those rounds you ordered turn out well.

I called ZLS 2 days ago & Kenny called me back last night. Seems like a real pleasant guy & easy to do business with. He does have a location in Edgewater where ammo can be picked up. He says he has 9mm available at the moment for $15 a box. I didn't get into what other he has available. He can load 10mm but would have to purchase brass & could sell it for somewhere around $29 or $29.95 (not sure which price he said). I didn't get into further details about how stout he could load or bullet selection. I found his number on an image of one of his boxes in the auction 386-410-4987.
Hello Everyone, I noticed some of you guys have had an interest in my products, I am kenny I own ZLS precision ammunition along with my step dad darrin ziegler. He has been loading ammunition for 32 years, He really knows his stuff. What we do is put a quality product that sells, and shoots well, our main goal is to make the customer happy and keep customers coming back. We are in business to stay in business. All the ammo i sell is boxed in a reusable plastic hard shell box, our casings are shiney as new. It really is a quality product. We start by cleaning our brass in stainless steel media which leaves the casing clean inside and out, when the casings leave that station they go to dry. Once the casings are dry they go into walnut media with SGT. Creed polish (which is all natural polish with no ammonia), which gives my brass the shine. When it leaves that station it is moved on to the loading presses, once loaded EVERY round is case gauged and visually inspected for cracks or flaws, then i box the rounds and do a final inspection of the primers for dents etc. My prices are based off of my cost of the components, I do not price galge. If anyone is interested in my product and buys from me and is dissatisfied the way it looks, the way it shoots, or the customer service they received, please let me know and I will take care of the issue with a money back guarantee. velocities and other specs on my ammo is available upon request at this moment however, I will start incorporating certain spec on my boxes.
Can you post your 10mm line with bullet specs and ballistics?
Hi Kenny,
thanks for posting. I called you a couple weeks or so ago (I'm from Casselberry). Unfortunately, my Glock 20 is going back to Glock for the second time.
But, when it is finally working like it should I will be interested in both your 9mm & 10mm.
As Intercooler posted, could you provide us with specs & can you load to customer's requests as far as approximate velocities & bullet weights?
Hello Kenny, and welcome to the forum! Most of what people are looking for is a quality product and fair prices, myself I too am a handloader but not for sales. However, I am anal about producing the best ammo for my use and understand just what it takes to get reliability with quality. Good luck and best regards with the business! :D
just to let everybody know. Alot of people make a big deal out of reloaded ammunition like its junk. I use New powder, new primers, new bullets, the only part that is used is the casing which gets heavily inspected 5 times before it leaves my facility. Everything we load is 100 percent, I am a federally licensed manufacturer, we care about what we sell and how it looks, I have guys shooting competition match shoots with my ammo "and winning". I sell thousands of rounds a week to brick armory in new jersey a gun range. they shoot my 9mm and 45 acp through machine guns flawlessly, If anyone questions how good my ammo is call brick armory you can google it. ask for phil he is the owner. I also sell to a gun range in orlando and one in port st. lucy. We sell a quality product that fires. We are not interested in selling the cheapest product we can however, our prices are very fair, We would rather focus our time on being the best and so far it is paying off. I noticed someone is interested in specs on my 10 MM and I will post them soon when i get more time.
45 acp 18.00 per box
9MM 15.00 per box all of my ammo is sold in a plastic hard shell box.
380 18.00 per box
40 18.00 per box
38spcl 18.00 per box
357 23.00 per box
I for one would love to sample all the calibers I own. Some specs with bullet types would help with seeing what to go for.
