Ammunition review: Ammo, Inc

Ammo Inc is made in the USA and is a great priced option for high quality ammo. I found it was clean burning and accurate.
Highly recommended for your next trip to the range
I purchased this box at true shot gun club in Tempe, AZ

It is very interesting to read the huge variations in experience with the same ammo manufacturer. Thank you for all your comments. I guess it is average to good range ammo but nothing else. In my experience (and I'm almost done with the 1000 rounds I bought), I've been using them in both a CZ shadow 2 and a hk P30l for uspsa competition, and I've not seen a single failure

[@ConditionZero76]

That's pretty good because I've heard mostly Negative from everyone about it, even an employee at Range USA told me to pass on buying some from them because it's awful, constant failures to feed, primers won't ignite and even several people had the jackets following off there rounds. I'm hesitant to buy some but the price is so good I think I'm gonna jump in and give it whirl. One of the instructors I spoke with said it's fine for target practice you'll run into a few issues just never ever buy the JHP for carry...who knows

[@a2ztacticalacademy]

@Condition Zero i would agree with that. Good for target and practice, but i would not use it for defense as JHP.

[@countylineengineeringmachi2942]

I’ve shot a fair amount of Ammo Inc. ammo. Shoots just fine and it’s priced right. The biggest thing I’ve noticed is how clean it shoots. I’ve shot piles of different brands of 9mm and I would easily put it in my top five favorites……maybe even my top three.

[@redrobinson77]

Agreed 👍

[@Narsuitus]

Thanks for the video. I have used the following ammunition made by Ammo Inc: .45acp FMJ 230 grain round-nose .380acp FMJ 100 grain flat-nose I have been very pleased with the performance and the price of both.

[@a2ztacticalacademy]

That's great to hear

[@paque200]

Just put 400 rounds of Ammo Inc 9mm 115 Grain FMJ through my Glock 17, 19 and Sig P226. So far so good. Not one issue as of yet. Knock on wood. It's the cleanest ammo I have ever shot. Ive seen alot of negative reviews on the stuff. I live in California. Please don't hold that against me. LOL Cases of 1000 rounds are going for a little over 300.00 dollars. Really good price for me. All the ranges I go into is caring this stuff. Most of the Gun Shops are selling it. Thats not saying my next box I wont have a problem with, But as Of right now. No problems.

[@a2ztacticalacademy]

That's been my experience as well... really clean burning and no issues. Thank you for your comment

[@dynamike7108]

I just got a mark vii .44 mag desert eagle. I ran a box of Ammo Inc 240 grain .44 mag TMC 50 count through it with not one failure. Better than I expected

[@deniswauchope3788]

The gun store I work at in Texas has a lot of this ammo in calibers .380, 9mm, .40, and .45; the only caliber that has problems is the .380, which often jams in a gun. We've had a lot of stovepipes & cases getting stuck in the chamber with the .380, but no problems with the other calibers. When I'm working the range counter I never recommend the Ammo Inc. .380 to a customer trying out a rental firearm because we've had so many problems with it, not just in our guns but customers' guns too. It's cheap, but you get what you pay for sometimes!

[@shoskillz]

10 mm?

[@jayteefishing1543]

Their 9 mil JHP is an awesome round. Great budget self defense round for sure! I would recommend it. There’s way too many people posting online and they’re carrying FMJs in a carry gun. I get it, they’re way cheaper but if price is your concern, this brand makes a very affordable self defense round. You’re responsible for every round that leaves your pistol and you don’t want to carry FMJs for self defense. Go get you a box of this stuff.

[@a2ztacticalacademy]

Never... fmj is never for self defense.

[@nickamalfitano3613]

Got boxes of 380 that were filled with light strikes. Brought multiple ammo brands AMMO INC was the only one that had failures.

[@a2ztacticalacademy]

They may have used harder primers than other brands

[@nickamalfitano3613]

Still, not acceptable. When even my 100% reliable springfield 911 was giving light strikes, I know there is a problem. The not yet broken in security .380 would've been explainable

[@fredboat]

Thanks for the info/show, I have run a fair amount of 45acp fmj threw my Stemple 76/45 SMG and it is hotter than standard ball, Runns fine.

[@stevekynard6658]

I traded for a 9mm Kimber the other day. It came with a 50 rd box of this ammo. On the way home I loaded 3 rds in the mag to test the gun. 1st two went fine, 3rd went pffftt. It didn't have the power to clear the barrel with the bullet. Had to tap it out when I got home. Threw the rest of it in the trash.

[@a2ztacticalacademy]

wow

[@warpony4202]

Shot a box in my 10mm today love it.🇺🇲

[@RobLeeBea]

I’ve shot ammo inc out of my new 1911 recently. My 1911 has been shooting flawlessly with Winchester and S&B FMJ and Federal HST JHP. No malfunctions with any of those after 1 300 rounds. There was a malfunction every 3 rounds with this type of ammo.

[@a2ztacticalacademy]

Wow. I'm honestly shocked at all the comments with bad experiences with it. two weeks ago, I shot a USPSA match with this ammo and did not experience a single failure. Maybe the 9mm is the good stuff, and none of the other calibers are good

[@nickamalfitano3613]

@@a2ztacticalacademy like I commented above, the .380 I got was trash. 1 box of 50 had at least 10 light strikes between both of my .380 pistols. One was my normally flawless springfield 911 and the other was in the very well reviewed ruger security. 380. None of the other brands I shot that day had any malfunctions. Their .223 seems to be ok.

[@chuckr5929]

I have used Ammo Inc in 380, 300, and 45acp. I had a lot of issues with the 380 leaving flakes of brass inside my Glock 42, also had some failure to fires. The 300 and 45acp, I have not had a single issue with.

[@nickamalfitano3613]

Light strikes were the issue with this ammo in my ruger security 380. The only brand that had failures that day.

[@chincemagnet]

I’ve shot up a ton of their ammo, .300 BLK, a lot of 9mm, 45 acp, 7.62x39, only had one issue, the first two rounds out of a box of 300 BLK had oversized casings and never had another issue, very odd it was just those two rounds. Although, full disclosure, that was out of a brand new gun, maybe there was a burr on something. But I kinda doubt it.

[@ratagris21]

Some say good others say bad. Its depends on your weapon and wether or not you keep your weapon properly cleaned and lubed.

[@01yellowr]

Tried to shoot their 380acp and 9. Half the rounds in each box were duds. I’ll stick to the aac ammo for now

[@MikeB-p1q]

I bought 2 boxes. 50 round packs of the hollow points. Cheapest ammo I've seen in years. Mine days it has the Sierra tips. I don't know if that's good or bad. 9mm 124gr Sierra Match Hollow Point I figured these bullets were made in America and they come in a nice box. How bad could it be? I shot 1 box and had 0 misfires. I know 50 rounds isn't a lot but for the price,it's worth it. My main ammo I use is American Gunner XTP's. I feel that it's the best ammo when looking at price, performance, and reliability. This is ammo I shoot and stock pile. I do plan on looking into the Sig ammo. The prices on it look good and I also carry a Sig now

[@a2ztacticalacademy]

I have gone through about 1500 rounds of the full metal jacket and had not a single failure

[@fredmillard5018]

The 380 ammo was terrible. It failed to eject almost every round out my Sig 365 - 380. The 9mm seems to work fine. I will say Ammo Inc.’s customer service is really good. They replaced the 4 boxes of 380 but the replacement ammo had the same issue. still was problematic. They then sent me 4 boxes of 9mm and told me to keep the 380. Very nice folks. As well they offered me my money back but I chose to get the 9mm.

[@a2ztacticalacademy]

I should buy other calibers and test them out. As you said. My experience with the 9mm is that is very good. But I've not tried any of the other calibers. Thx for your comment

[@MrZap773]

I didn't have a good experience with their hollow tips. Perhaps just a bad batch, but I wouldn't use it again

[@a2ztacticalacademy]

Oh. I didn't know they made JHP, I'lllook for a box or two and give them a try. I've only tried their FMJ. Thx

[@jeffclark8098]

Same, cz p10c, 115gr jhp ammo inc, feeds poorly and led jams into brass casing when feeding . Garbage. I'll never use it again.

[@jeffclark8098]

Ammo inc jhp jam when feeding thru a czp10c, so bad it pushes the led into the brass casing. I'll never use or trust them again. Took them to my local firearm dealer and he confirmed hes had a lot of issues. We took my cz to range and ran Hornady and federal jhp thru my gun with no flaws. Ammo inc is unreliable

[@carlhansen8672]

@@a2ztacticalacademy for sure, it could be just there revolver rounds for all I know. But ammo should not do that.

[@Andoz777]

I've used quite a bit of Ammo inc 9 mm and it's definitely underpowered but works really well with hammer fired but would get light primer strikes consistently with multiple striker fired pistols. Kept buying it bc of price and how clean it fires. But now with more ammo availability I've stopped using it.

[@a2ztacticalacademy]

There are definitely more choices opening up. And i got to say. I've not seen what most people here comment about....but I've only tried the 9mm 115 grain, so...maybe that's not the worst

[@a2ztacticalacademy]

Oh that's not good at all. Was the 10mm round ignited outside of full battery with the breech closed? (Could happen on pcc under very rapid fire)? Because if the round was fully in the chamber with the breech in battery, the damage would have been to the barrel and not the upper

[@a2ztacticalacademy]

Sorry. It was meant as a short video, but you're right. Ahould have spent more time on the ammo insight. I can give you some now that I've shot almost the whole brick. If you read through all the comments, there is a huge variation of experiences with ammo Inc. From misfires, to underpreassured to duds, etc.. all I've shot from them is 9 luger, and they've been flawless. I've done 4 uspsa competitions and have not experienced any of the issues many tell me about in the comments. Maybe their 9mm rounds are more reliable than all the other calibers. Maybe there's bad batches, and i got the good one, but in my opinion, from a single brick of 9x19, i would definitely buy more. They're clean, burning, and cycling perfectly in both my carry gun and my open uspsa race gun. All the rounds were made with new brass, and their OVERALL LENGTH was within specs for 9x19. I have no complaints.

If you're going to do drills, I'd do them realistically. Instead of a draw and single shot and reholster, I'd draw, fire 3-5 shots, check surroundings, then reholster. You're teaching bad muscle memory. In an actual self defense situation you wouldn't fire one shot and immediately reholster

[@a2ztacticalacademy]

There's many drills that I do. Some are single-shot and reholster, some are present, prep the trigger, and not shoot.
