Would say they are reman since all pictures have casings of very different brands. I think these guys showed up at local shows in the valley but I never checked them out since reman is figure of good QC and I would be hesitant to test another one...

 Attached FileSo their image for the packaging of Rocket Fire #6 appears to be 6.6gr of Competition pushing a 147gr 9mm bullet at @1,175fps Their webpage description then says: 4.2gr COMPETITION POWDER 147gr RN COPPER/LEAD PROJECTILE ONCE-USED MILITARY BRASS CASE 905 ft/sec Exit Velocity ~ PowerFactor 133  Attached FileAnd book load for Ramshot Competition 147gr 9mm varies slightly for bullet brand, but usually is 3gr of Competition OR LESS Not sure I want to press my luck with them, but maybe I'm reading that wrong. https://www.rocketfire.biz/products/rocketfire-9mm-147grain-round-nose-6857  Attached File |

I'm really just more interested in their load data because I picked up a pound of Ramshot Competition to play with.

I'm a bit curious if the 115/124gr loads would actually be useful and less expensive for USPSA vs usual factory stuff I use (FED, PMC, Magtech).

That's a load of hooey. |

That sucks you can't do local pick up. I've never heard of them, but they're only a mile away from me. Paying for shipping would be stupid at that point.

I have so many people at my range shooting reman stuff and having problems. Saving a couple pennies isn't worth the problems to me. I go through a ton of ammo and I just buy Iin bulk. Stay away from ammo Inc seen so many problems

OP, Badlands Munitions Co. would be a far better choice. They're in Queen Creek and are quickly making a name for themselves. I've purchased about 500 rounds of their 9mm ammo including their Fat Bastard subsonic 147gr and their subsonic hollow points. Buy and shoot with confidence! I've also bought some of their swag and taken an EDC Defense class through Phantom Concepts--which is affiliated with Badlands (one of the trainers works there). Lastly, they've hosted a few shooting events that I've attended. I feel like a fanboy at this point, but these dudes are solid.

Why buy reman at 24cpr when factory brass cased 9mm ammo is available at Ammo AZ for $235/1000rds? Last time I bought a case, it was Magtech brand.
Also, True Shot Ammo in Tempe has some good prices on factory 9mm ammo. |

How is everyone doing with Miwall reloads and the new ammo they brand as their own?
I used it for almost 15 years without any notable issues. Then the last batch I got before covid and a couple batches since then have had multiple squibs. Anyone have similar experiences? I am bummed because it was great for the price savings over name brand stuff and you usually got a decent ammo tin too. |

Honestly, I love miwall 147g 9 mm reload I have probably ran 3000 rounds of it now, Have not had any issues With that said, I have not started to use the post Covid batch yet |
