Honeybooboo Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 This isn't a reloading topic obviously but I thought this might be the best place to put it. Anybody have any experience with the 124g super match stuff? I usually shoot American Eagle but thought this might be a step up. Thoughts? https://www.freedommunitions.com/category-s/55961.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rev1911 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) I got similar chrono results, averaged 1020 fps out of a 4.25" 1911, with a spread of 40 fps. For reference, out of the same gun, Freedom Muntiions 115gr RN averaged 1129 fps, the 124gr RN averaged 1058, and the 147gr RN averaged 923. My impression is that it is just a slightly downloaded version of their regular 124gr ammo. I didn't try any bench rest accuracy, and off-hand I didn't notice any better groups, but I wouldn't consider myself a good enough shooter to really know.

d_striker Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 $350 a K is not what I would call a good price. What's the upside? Good question. The brass sucks for reloading, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishsticks Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 $350 a K is not what I would call a good price. What's the upside? Minor PF ammo for those that don't reload is the only thing I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AA doesn't list a 124gn match ammo, only 115. They do show 124 target/defensive, but list no specs to know if it will make PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtimelarry Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) $350 a K is not what I would call a good price. What's the upside? I'm done with Freedom Munitions and their light strike ammo. If you want to try good ammo try Northern Hills 124 Gr. or 147 Gr. They use Berrys Bullets and Winchester Primers. I've shot a couple thousand rounds of their 124 Gr. and it's softer shooting than American Eagle 124 Gr. and Very accurate out of my KKM & Factory Glock Barrel. They got it together over there. $ 194.00 for 1,000 rounds and that includes shipping. It's a No Brainer. Try it, You'll never buy Freedom Munitions again.

bigtimelarry Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Yes, they do. The 124 Gr. were 136 PF out of my Glock 34. The 147 Gr. I haven't chrono'd yet but he says they do 940 FPS out of a Glock 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtimelarry Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Try his Ammo, I'm telling you, you will love it. You can go to a match and know that it works unlike Freedom where you get light strikes and can't trust it in a match. Plus I was getting a lot of .380 cases in the Freedom Munitions 9mm. Like 10 in every 1,000 of their 147 Gr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things... 1st Did the info ever make it to Freedom Munitions? 2nd you do know that a lot of well known shooters "go to match and know that it works" Shooter such as Kalani Laker, Rob Romero, Jansen Jones, Janna Reeves, James Casanova and even me? I fully understand that you had issues and would hope that you gave the company the opportunity to rectify the problem or work to make you less unhappy about it.

joepau1k Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I bought 500 rounds of 124g of Freedoms Match ammo. It was a good round but not enough to make me change form 147g AE flat nose Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had problems a few years ago and quit using them. Then about 8 month's ago i tried them again figuring they had it sorted out by now. Same Deal, light strikes ( A LOT ) called and talked to some girl who was very nice, she wanted the lot # etc. They sent me a shipping label and they paid the shipping which was great, Sent me Fresh 147 Gr, Still get light strikes. WTF Primers are they using ??? I have a Jager extended tip Striker and use a 4.5 Spring. Probably shot 80,000 rounds of Blazer Brass & American Eagle in the last 5 years and Never get any light strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtimelarry Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I didn't even know about Northern Hills Precision Ammo. I was squadded with a guy at a match who was using it. He said it was awesome and gave me 10 rounds, i staggered them against my American Eagle 124 Gr. it shot softer, i bought 500 rounds to try it out figuring if i don't like it i'll use it for practice. My times were the same or better, sights settled perfect, cycles perfect, no light strikes, Very Accurate. I bought 2,000 more rounds, ran them thru my Shockbottle every one fit perfect, no high primers. I just ordered 6,000 more rounds just in case he raises the prices soon. $ 189.00 for 1,000 rounds of soft shooting ammo that makes PF, Berry's Bullets, Winchester Primers.. I'm not gonna pass that up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase214 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Correct me if Im wrong if freedoms match ammo makes minor pf wouldn't that mean less powder and there for cheaper to make I will add iv never shot any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtimelarry Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Even if they used N320 & Federal Primers, 35 Cents a round is Ass Raping.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfran943 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I had a chrono issue with Freedom SuperMatch at a sanctioned IDPA match yesterday. Yesterday, I got pulled from my squad at the Iowa State match because this ammo did not pass chrono with an average of 124.1. Luckily, they pulled three rounds for my mag and used my gun (G-34) and it passed.....however, what if I was shooting a G-19 in CCP....I might have been screwed. I also had one, first-round malfunction that appear to be an improperly seated primer. I used their 115 grain ammo until this year when they changed the load and it won't make minor PF. I am trying to avoid reloading so I thought their SuperMatch was the way to do...but not so sure now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtimelarry Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Blazer Brass, PMC, American Eagle & Magtech.. Pick one that groups good in your gun and go with it. Then go to your matches and enjoy them and not worry about making PF or having light strikes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
