All -- be careful when ordering from Freedom munitions.
I had heard good things about freedom munition so I went to the website and ordered some ammo, the site seemed fairly well done and everything seemed legit.
Unfortunatley I had unknowingly gone to the wrong site -- freedom Ammunition and not freedom munitions.
Freedom Ammunition is a complete SCAM site. They do sell ammo but everything about them is a lie.
They represent the ammo as new but then ship you reloads. They tell you it has shipped but it takes ten additional emails and calls until you finally get the ammo weeks later.
Lastly -- the ammo is BAD to the point of being unusable. We had 5 squibs out of the first 200 rounds -- where the round fired but did not make it out of the barrel and became stuck in the barrel.
Please do yourself a favor and AVOID freedom ammunition. I buy ammo online regularly and shoot 1000+ rounds per month. I must say that the whole experience with them has been horrible in every way possible.
Once I realized my mistake I also ordered from freedom munitions and that experience has been 100% perfect, good ammo, good price, fast shipping.
Please tell your friends to avoind Freedom Ammunition, I hate to think of people getting injured when a bullet gets stuck in the barrel and they try to fire another round. A less knowledgeable shooter may not realize that the barrel is plugged and try to fire a second round -- this could result in serious injury.
Again -- Freedom munitions is a reputable company but Freedom ammunition should be avoided no matter what the price of the ammo -- it is unusable.
If you ever go to BulkAmmo.com you may notice that they carry Freedom Ammunition reman 9mm 100round ***s for relatively cheap. I've ordered in the past, and it's not bad. They may not be as efficient as Freedom Munitions because they may have a smaller manufacturing facility.
Thanks for the heads up! I'm sure that many members here also aren't aware of the difference. Sorry that you had to deal with it- your pain is someone else's gain.
Thanks for the tip, I've bought from freedom munitions and had a great experience with them. I'll be careful to make sure I'm going to the right place next time.
That should have been your first indication something was wrong. The real Freedom Munitions redid their site a few months ago and it is awful now. Seriously hard to order on a mobile device, and not much easier on a desktop.
I made the mistake once, they claimed they were selling America Eagle ammunition showing the boxes of ammo. I bought unwittingly and received the shipment quickly. What I received was two boxes of loose ammo. When I asked what happened, they said it was just for convenience of the customers. The casings were all federal, but primers looked different and head stamps were for all kinds of federal ammunition of the same caliber. I then measured the cartridges' length and they were quite a bit shorter than the AE ammo I had on hand. On further questions their people answering my emails got testy, then I did some research and there were several complaints on BBB and a couple of other places. Their ammo is not terrible, in my experience, but sold on a lie and is less accurate, as well as overpriced as reloads.
5 squibs out of less than 200 rounds = terrible in my book.
There is absolutely no reason I can think of why anyone would want to business with a company that lies about their product ( sells reloads as new) and cant even get the reloads done correctly, not to mention the shipping delays and other issues.
There are too many good , reputable bulk ammo sites out there for anyone to have to deal with that kind of **.
Wow, that is really bad. I wonder if it would be worth it for Freedom Munitions to try to buy that URL just to avoid confusion.
Reminds me of the time I tried to DVR "The Patriot" with Mel Gibson, but ended up getting "The Patriot" with Steven Seagal...I wasn't happy. Similar story with the movie "Crash", Don Cheadle never showed up, but after the first car crash I knew...well I'll let you find out.
I was just about to jump in here and defend the real Freedom Munitions! Those guys are great. Thanks for the info on "Freedom Ammunition" though - it could easily be confused.
I can second not using Freedom Ammunition. I ordered 15 boxes of Sig .308 match ammo and only received 12 boxes. The ammo is in good shape and the shipping time was not bad but I'm 3 boxes short. I've called and emailed them 3-4 times, I got one email response from them on 2/21 telling me quote..
"We are looking into this with the warehouse that has shipped this to you. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
Shipping ,
Can you confirm the status of your investigation.

I'll update my post with the outcome. If I don't hear back from them in a few days I am going to call my credit card company and see what I can do.

Tricky......I guess. I did not realize there was Freedom Munitions and Freedom Ammunition.
