It performs extremely well in my guns and the price is very good. The packaging and appearance is first class. I have shot hundreds of rounds of Freedom munitions without any malfunctions in either of my guns. The Freedom Munitions 40 S&W ammunition was 100% reliable and accurate in both my Hi Point 4095TS carbine and my GLOCK 22. The fired brass cases were very clean and looked like they could be sized and reloaded without cleaning. The Freedom Munitions ammo fed perfectly and ejected several feet away. The remaining 40 rounds went into a 4” circle without a hitch of any kind. I then fired the rest of the box into another target to see if any malfunctions would appear. So putting 10 rounds into a 2 1/4” circle in 10 seconds would be satisfactorily in the “kill zone” of a human target. But this ammo isn’t designed for benchrest target shooting or long ranges. This ammo is much more accurate than that, but a benchrest would be needed to really test its potential. I shot everything offhand and at a somewhat rapid rate of fire.Īll 10 rounds fired without a hitch and all ten went into a 2.25” group. The Hi Point 4095 magazine holds 10 rounds so I emptied one magazine into a target from 15 yards. The brass is shiny and slides in the magazine like glass. 40 S&W was designed for handguns and handgun ranges which are 10 -15 yards max. I used my Hi Point 4095 TS carbine to demonstrate accuracy and reliability of the ammo, shooting at combat type ranges and not 100 yards. Now let’s see how it performs at the range. Bullets alone can often vary 2-3 grains in weight.

An average weight variance of less than five grains is good considering there are four separate components in a cartridge and each one has some variance of its own. This data is on par with most major manufacturers ammunition like Speer, Federal and Hornady. Let’s see how this box of Freedom Munitions 40 S&W pans out on the digital scale. A low variance in weight should be an indicator of quality. If the reloading equipment is high quality, the powder weights should be very close in each cartridge. If you use high quality components, the weight variance should be very low. This can give you an idea of the manufacturing tolerances of the ammunition. One quality evaluation I like to do is weigh the ammo and determine the weight variance. You can see in this photo that Freedom Munitions used mixed cases…Speer, Federal, Blazer, R-P and FC. Primers, powders and cases are all from big brand manufacturers like Speer, Alliant, Winchester, Federal, etc. Like most manufacturers, Freedom uses major manufacturer components. 40 S&W ammo like PMC, S&B, Speer or Fiocchi, you’ll pay $17 – $18/box of 50. It retails for about $13 per box of 50 rounds. The 180 grain FMJ is copper jacketed and pushed to 950 fps. 40 S&W ammo in various bullet weights and designs. The process is the same once the fired brass is prepped.įreedom offers. Their remanufactured ammo is loaded on the exact same equipment that their new ammo is loaded on. Freedom Munitions only uses once-fired brass. Cartridge brass is the most expensive component of ammunition and reusing it can save a good chunk of money. There can be a significant cost savings with remanufactured ammo.
