TroutBear Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 No, I do not yet reload - research has pointed my to Redding as where I want to start but that's a 2019 goal. Secondly, the practice I am referencing is me working to gain basic personal skills with a HK P30 9mm; I've like to explore the competition beginers route one day, but not today. So that said, I've used mainly AE 124, with a bit of 124 Precision Delta at times - sorta local and the owner is a great Landcruiser guy. I'm interested in trying some ASYM 147 remanf and Wilson Combat 135 remanf - any user feedback on these? Very pleased to find this site. It's been a great info source in background to look into reloading equipment and seems far friendlier to newcomers than a couple of OEM specific focused forums.

uewpew Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 no experience with either. just buy the cheapest stuff that works in your gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawaiianShirtShooter Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I use https://gun.deals/ not gundeals.com They usually have great deals on ammo, both the bulk reman stuff and the high end stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssanders224 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Precision Delta is your answer. PD 147s is what you want. I shoot tons of it, and won the MS and AR sectional in CO with it. If you are local, come by the plant and I'll give you the nickel tour. And I'm sure Joseph will let you check out the Cruisers, ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroutBear Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 Actually, I ordered a try-it pack of PD 147 remanf after posting; planning to head to Turcotte this weekend if it arrives and the weather clears. Appreciate the offer; I'd like to walk through Local is relative at about 2 hours away but we enjoy getting up to Greenwood for a Crystal Grill blue plate lunch occasionally - mostly weekends though.

cjmill87 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I shoot ASYM re-man 147 and have never had any reliability issues with it. I haven't chrono'd it though so I can't truly speak to the published velocities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boudreux Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I have tried the ASYM reman as well and had no issues out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is off on a tangent from your original question but, while Redding makes very high quality reloading gear, you want a Dillon if you plan to reload any real quantity of ammo. Redding makes great single stage presses (or their turret, which is basically a single stage press with an installed parking lot) but they are best for limited runs of ammo at low production rates. For any real volume you will very soon want a progressive reloader and Dillon is the class act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will save you a lot of pain if you just go with the best first time around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amerflyer48 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I got 1,000 Blazer Brass 115 9mm on Black Friday for $7.00/50 at that price the cover stays on my Dillon RL450 (upgraded powder and primer system) once I get back in the swing of things I will work up a 147 gr load. until then my Glock 34 seems to like the loading and I have while I work on coming back from a almost 20 year break.

streckjc Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Precision Delta Fenix LAX Ammo Freedom Munitions Angelfire Epic Minuteman I'm not a fan of just using anything for practice. But I won't use my match ammo either. I try and find something close to my match ammo, but cheaper and that runs and stick with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used their 135gr 9mm with the target hollow points all last season. Great shooting Ammo for sure. Prices have crept up a bit, but still great stuff. When it’s in stock. I just bought some 147 gr Fenix for about $0.21/rd and am looking forward to giving them a try. PF is under 130 based on their details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcfoto Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Before I got into hand-loading, I used Freedom. I'd buy the new brass stuff as extra insurance. Never had a problem and always made power factor. When they had the brass trade-in program, it really made it economical but they stopped doing that when they went into bankruptcy. 5 minutes ago, nick779 said: Didnt Freedom get a ton of heat over the last few years for terrible QC and blowing up a few guns? I've heard "legends" of this happening a while ago but never met anyone with first-hand experiences. Actually, their QC improved over the last couple of years.

Yes, remans are what i use mostly for practice. Although I've heard great things about Fenix that I may use them for local matches as well. I haven't heard anything about Freedom other than their bankruptcy restructuring last year (I think it was last year). I've had nothing but great experience with them. I personally wouldn't hesitate to buy from them, both reman and new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadside72 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I have been through several thousand of the Freedom reman with no FTE/FTF in either of my 9mm. Not the best price but they will ship to CA with my documentation, so that is also a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisB_02 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I shoot fenix training ammo 147g reman. For practice and matches. I like it a lot I bought some freedom 147g reman to test before i heard the horror stories. Only shot 100 but was amazed at how soft it was. Small sample size but they all went bang no problem.
