Freedom Munitions 10mm

[PalmBeach]

Yeah they're incredibly mild so I'd say 1200 is quite generous. Shadow's pull-down from October of last year showed about 1050. I've shot a bunch of this and it's noticeably more mild than even "value" 10mm loads.

That's disappointing.

Disappointing isn't the word, the last batch I received sometimes would not even cycle my RIA. Basically a waste of money, even for range rounds. Same with their 124GR 9mm rounds. Last time I try and save a couple of pennies.

How does the Georgia Arms chrono #'s compare to these Freedom Munitions? I'm needing to make another bulk order soon...

K.

I have used lots of Georgia Arms (just to get the brass)!  They are good target rounds at a good price.  I bought the new stuff to get the Starline brass.  The 180 gr FMJ new is advertised at 1100 fps, probably about right (never felt a need to chrono), and at 42 cents a round when buying the 1000 package, you get nice once fired, by you, Starline brass.  I have probably run through 2-3K rounds without a hitch.

On the Freedom ammo i have had several of their 50 count 180 gr XTPs - it seems for me in a Glock 20 that at least one or two in each package don't fire the first time, have to re-chamber and strike again and they normally go bang then.  They have a store in Houston, TX so I have to pay sales tax whether I buy local or order off the site and ordering the prices are cheaper - so I just decided GA was better for me.

Others in Houston have complained that the Freedom ammo is very dirty ammo, I have not seen that while using - but some of the gun stores and ranges say they don't like them...

I have shot plenty of the Freedom 40 S&W and 9MM rounds, but GA sells them and they are a little hotter for close to the same cost (and no sales tax).

On 45 ACP I really don't pay much attention to the velocity, just look for a good price and good brass - so whoever is cheapest is what I normally order!

I recently picked up a Chrono and have used it once.  Freedom Munitions 180 grain ammo is one I tried out my new Chrono with.  Not impressed.

First 5 rounds.  950, 958, 973, 944, 960, Average 957, Extreme Spread 29 Standard Deviation 11 Energy 365

Second 5 rounds.  955, 958, 953, 954, 943, Average 952, Extreme Spread 15 Standard Deviation 5 Energy 362

Ha! I once screwed up a batch of .40S&W and it chrono'd over 1100. That stuff had some recoil, sad it was stronger than what somebody passes off as 10mm.

My results:

FREEDOM MUNITIONS     FM10R180N-B0050   180      FMJ   1,200   1,062      451      WIN WSF   6.6

That reminds me about needing the 6" data. Milder than PPU 

Weak sauce then!

I don't really matter since I would reload them, and I can juice them up!
