Shooting Freedom Munitions remanufactured 223 today and this happened. Gun jammed because of this but seemed fine after I cleared it. My question is, is it safe to keep shooting this stuff?
>>
>>32114076
Take it back, get a refund, make them issue a recall..
>>
I don't see the problem, OP. Seems safe to me.

God speed.
>>
>>32114076
Same thing happened with a batch of Armscor .308 in my FAL. I'd stop, if I were you.
>>
haven't tried it myself, but heard quite a bit of bad things about Freedom Munitions.
>>
So do you guys think it's an issue of too much powder or brass that's been reloaded too many times? Because if it's just bad brass it should be okay to shoot if I clear the jam each time it happens right? Btw my rifle can shoot 556 so it should be able to handle a slightly hotter load
>>
>>32114076
>shooting remans
shame on you
>>
Whats up with that dent on the neck of the cartridge? What were you shooting this out of? if its an AR id say this ammo is overcharging you DI system and you should stop using it. bring it back to where you bought it.
>>
>>32114119
I've heard the opposite but I guess this proves it for me
>>
>>32114138
Shooting it out of a Kel tec SU-16 A, so it's gas piston
>>
>shooting someone else's reloads
Doesn't matter if it's a proper company that shit is still dangerous. If you want to save money by shooting reloads them do your own.
>>
>>32114128
its old brass imo
ive had some 308 rounds with more than 3 loadings tear on me
>>
So what do you guys think, should I just take a chance with the rest and not buy from them again? Like I said, my rifle is chambered in 556, so shouldn't it be okay? The reman is 223
>>
It's fine. Ignore these fucking idiots. Case head separation happens sometimes.
>>
>>32114218
I would call them up and ask to send the rest back to them, hopefully for a refund.

Unless you're sitting on ten thousand rounds of it, blowing up your rifle isn't worth the money you saved buying reman ammo. If you want cheap ammo just buy steelcase, Lucky Gunner proved it's fine.

>shooting reloads that cost more than new production steel case
>>
I wish I could shoot steel but my range won't allow it, they're afraid of forest fires or some shit
>>
>>32114247
More like your range is ran by assholes who are too lazy to sort out the steel cases from the brass they vulture from their customers.
>>
>>32114291
I wouldn't be surprised. Unfortunately, I live in Kalifornistan and don't have many options.
>>

Does it damage the gun at all?>>32114229

>using steel case
>>
>>32114318
I'll come at this from a bit of a different perspective. I shoot a 7.5 Frog (7.5x54mm French MAS) rifle. I got it before the ammo was readily available and handload for it. I use 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser brass. it has to be necked up, loaded, then fireformed to fit the larger chamber. I occasionally get a broken case on brand new brass at a low pressure fireforming load. No real danger to you or your gun, just clean it out and go. A little soft piece of brass that's probably been reloaded one time too many breaking in your chamber isn't going to hurt anything if you clear it carefully.

Oh yeah, happens all the time.

No big deal.

Thanks for all the input guys. I'm probably gonna sort through the rest of my ammo and look for signs of case head separation, and then just buy new until I start reloading myself
>>
>>32114347
Retard.
>>
>>32114119
They are usually who I go through for my ammo, I buy the remanufactured for plinking and the new ammo for target practice. Probably shot over 10,000 rounds from them in .380, 9mm and 5.56 and never had a failure in any type of round or firearm.

>>32114307
What part of the PRC?

The range out in Coalinga is nice, and I've heard good things about the one in Avenal too.

What's the head stamp? I had that happen with LAX ammo. Come to find out it's because of the cases they use.
>>
>>32114076
I've only shot around 200 rounds of the 500 rounds of .45 I bought from them so I can't say how often this happens but I haven't had any problems yet. Shoot the rest and start buying factory if it bothers you so much.
>>
>>32114076
ive had bad shit from freedom. blew a mag and extractor on an AR, and straight up fucked the bolt on an FN2000. Had a squib load in my moms bolt action, thankfully she wasn't able to chamber the next round or it would have fucking blown up. return it.

>Shooting Freedom Munitions

Found your problem.
>>
>>32114394
If you shoot guns, not just ramble on about them on a Burmese etch a sketch forum, yes they happen with new and old ammo. That is why they sell broken shell extractors

Nigger retard. Fuck off and die deladarius tyrone azikwe johnson

The dent might be from knocking the front part of the case out of the chamber with a rod.
