Shit that rifle on ARFCOM is definitely FUBAR!
I had 2 500rd boxes of Freedom left, I remember ordering 2000rds total from them back in 2013. The first 1000rds I shot back then had zero issues.
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.
Ugh....I have a considerable amount of Freedom, but haven't experienced any issues yet.... This is not good. I started looking into a Wolf Gold, PMC, and another Russian brand Przny something... buying this brands sounds like a good move. Bu just hope that my older stuff is GTG..
