The first box 500rd box, I had 4 improperly crimped rounds possibly caused by geometry issues with the PMAG clone mags I was testing out. The mags worked fine before with multiple brands of ammo. Fire one round, the next one the bullet is set back deep into the case, happened 4 times in a row. A week later I was in the middle of the desert and I had one more box of 500rds I wanted to get rid of to make room for all the Wolf Gold I stock up on now. That batch is where I had 5 rounds with popped primers that all got stuck under my trigger assembly, forcing me to disassemble the trigger and disconnector to get the primers out. Good thing I brought my tool kit with me that day. Thinking back I should have stopped because picking up the brass many of them had signs of overpressure. I also had PMC Bronze with me which work great as expected.
After that, yes I won't be buying Freedom Munitions again. Ventura Munitions is local to me and their reloads are excellent, and they have great prices on Wolf Gold and other factory ammo overall as well.
