Atlanta Arms Ammo

[Intercooler]

   Should be here tomorrow. I know it's pretty lite but wanted to see what they are giving.

[Intercooler]

They arrived and I plan on testing them tomorrow. Got their .44's too as a try.

Using Starline brass but these are the all new instead of reloaded which costs a little more.

Those look just like the ones sold at the indoor range I use. I never was sure if they were new or reloads. The brass looked new........and I don't believe they use any crimp.

[Intercooler]

The reloaded ones are $19/box but these all new rounds are $22/box. They didn't have the reloads in stock.

Exciting evening of testing including breaking my first ever pistol! More on that later but here is what Atlanta gave me:

(Match) 1114, 1098, 1133, 1117, 1119, 1121, 1125. Average = 1118.14 FPS/ 499.61 LBS.

(Razorback) 1157, 1153. Average = 1155 FPS/ 533.09 LBS.

(Hunter) 1177, 1159. Average = 1168 FPS/ 545.16 LBS.

Even from the hunter they couldn't quite average 550 ft-lbs.  Well, at least they do a little bit better than 40S&W.

  The Atlanta Arms place is interesting. I have talked to someone on their Facebook and although they can't do bulk they said they could help on the cost. Although the ammo isn't real power to most of us they said they could do something there too.

  Maybe $21/box 1250 FPS practice ammo?

Is this the same as their 'Canned Heat' ammo I've heard about? Or is that just an advertising/packaging term? I looked at their website once........actually in Social Circle, a small town not too far from me. They don't sell to the public at their facility as I remember, just mail order.

I think Canned Heat is a Georgia Arms moniker.

[Intercooler]

Yea that's Georgia Arms.

These guys said they are limited to packs of ammo. No bulk.

[EdMc]

My bad, I didn't realize that Georgia Arms was a different company from Atlanta Arms.........didn't know two separate companies were making ammo in this state.
