Georgia Arms ammunition

[Diesel Kinevel]

I just recieved 500 rounds of .45 ACP 230 gr FMJ from Georgia Arms. Very fast shipping, and it comes in a cool plastic ammo box (identical to a Surplus 30 cal can. Shipped loose in the can. Ammo looks good. I will advise when I put some down range.

Caution

I had trouble with 9mm HP's from them. There was an issue with them being either seated incorrectly, mis-sized, or having out of spec bullets (SPEER Gold Dot). It was new production in Star Line brass too.

After chambering and removing a round I noticed severe setback. I hand cycled a few more rounds with the same result. Upon further inspection I noticed that I could set back the bullets with firm pressure between my fingers.

They replaced one of the bags; but later on I noticed it to be the case with the other lots that were shipped in the same order. About 80% were this loose.

I have not had any issues with their re-manufactured FMJ ammo in either 5.56mm and 9mm.

Diesel-I have used those guys for years and have purchased ammo in very large quantities and have always had great results. Usually I pre-order and pick up the ammo at the nearest show they are attending...shipping can be expensive..

I've bought several 250 rd .40 FMJ from them at Dulles. Good price, they go bang, and I've gotten metal (not plastic) cans in the past. This must be new.

I had a couple split cases with their .38 but have had very good luck with the .30 carbine and .357 sig I ordered.

Its reloaded ammo, occasionally you are going to get a minor problem, thats a reality.

I was disappointed not to get to Dulles as I wanted to buy a couple more packs of the .357 sig.

I've had good luck with then also but they are not the cheapest guy in town....
AIM's prices are better

Their site says the suppy of metal cans has run out so they temp switched to plastic

That's surprising. I've never heard of a setback issue with GA's stuff.

I have always been happy with the stuff I bought from them as well.

To save money with Georgia, just order before the next Chantilly show and pickup the order at the show.

No Shipping and No Va Sales Tax.

for the calibers I pay attention to they don't look anywhere near as economical as I'd expect for reloaded ammo...

I have bought a lot of 10mm 180g FMJ for range use from them. Rated at 1100FPS. Never had an issue.

They used to be....their prices seemsed to have jumped disproportionately when the ammo fury came.

Norton and I used to be able to actually make multi-case deals with them at the Dulles show. Haven't tried that in a while. They weren't there the last time I went.

Neither had I or the guy that I spoke with from GA. I like the company and hold no grudge against them. Just something I would be careful of. The bullets would completely set back against the powder.

Could have ruined my day...

Was this new manufacture ammo or the "Canned Heat" reloads?

 

[Diesel Kinevel]

Thanks for the info yall. I will look into them at the chantilly shows.

The only negative I can say about them was that they refused to make a custom load for me. Around 2003 or 2004 I asked them if they could produce a .303 British load that would approximate the South African ball load and they said "No". At that time they made a .303 hunting round, so they loaded the cartridge. 174gr FMJ bullets were available from at least one supplier. I was willing to buy 500 rounds, for my .303.

DITTO ON AIM SURPLUS! MAKE SURE YOU GET IT WHEN YOU SEE IT, THE MAY HAVE LIMITED AMOUNTS!

The only factory ammo I buy for 10mm is them. They use new Starline Brass, and I've never had an issue with their ammo. I've purchased .223 from them, those are loaded in once fired Lake City brass. I've been happy with them, and I will continue to purchase from them when I need 10mm ammo.
