Black Gun Industries Ammo

Posted the links below in the "Where can I get it?" thread. But, I understand that thread is not for asking questions.

But has anyone heard of, seen, shot this ammunition? I just stumbled across them last night in an exhausted internet addicted research bonanza. Couldn't find much about them on the interweb.

They state that they are on the grounds of Lake City Plant and are an ISO-9001-2008 factory. This is remanufactured ammo, with mil surp one shot brass.

I don't know enough about ammo, reloading, etc. to know any better. So, I'm putting it before the experts. Whatcha think?

Anybody? Bueller? Bueller?
Not even a "Use the yellow search button dumba$$". (Which I have)
Or, a "I'd never run that crap through YOUR gun much less my own."

Just seemed like an interesting source for range days. Or, rainy days.

I'll let it die if no one has an opinion.

I too was curious about this ammo. I originally saw it on Midway's site (pre-frenzy) and did some searching, but didn't come up with anything more than you did. Hopefully someone will chime in that has experience with it.

I believe there were some pretty bad reviews on TOS recently, multiple FTF, FTE, and bullet jammed almost all the way back into the case on cycling type stuff.

That's scary... because functional ammo is REALLY not THAT HARD to get right.

Christ! If Black Hills can do it, ANYONE with half a brain can.:rolleyes:

Shit prices and shit quality from reviews. Sounds like another jackass with graphic design knowledge slapped a bow on dog shit and wants to peddle it to high speed, low drag gear queers.

Glad someone found out some info. Thanks.
I felt all "Door-Kickn' Ninja" while looking at their site. It's like the "tactical" flashlight selling for twice what the standard identical light does.
