| Has anyone ever bought any of the Georgia arms{not possitive aobut the comp. name sorry.} ammo? If so please give info. Is it all Reload? Is it reliable?.Seen them at the show was interested in buying a case of their ammo. Thanks in advance |

I used "Canned Heat" for the last several rifle classes I went through. The only problem I have had with it was a case seperation during a class with Scott Reitz. There have been a few threads over in the ammo section concerning Kabooms with it, so you may want to look over there also. And yes..... most, if not all, of their ammo is reloads |
| I bought about 1500 rds of 223 from georgia arms about 3 years ago. It all shot great except for 2 cases that broke in half while extracting. The next round chambered and lodged into the neck of the shell still in the chamber. Took a few minutes to ram out. I still have the broken cases with the fresh rounds stuck in them laying around in a change jar somewhere. I have shot their 45 and 9mm with no issues. |

I have used the canned heat almost exclusively in all my AR's. I have never, not even one time, ever had a malfunction in any of them. Most is military brass, some is not. I highly recommend this stuff. My .45 ammo is a mix of new, factory loaded ammo that comes in plastic bags, and "canned heat" reloaded ammo. I have had a few stovepipes with the canned heat, using some of the more beat up looking rounds. Its great for plinking. |

I use the 9mm in my AR, and I have the occasional problem of the bullet not being crimped tight enough. Factory new ammo never causes a problem, but the sometimes the Canned Heat bullets push back into the case when they hit the feed ramp (Colt system 9mm). Semper Fi |

I've shot a few thousand rounds of 223 and have shot their 9mm and 40ca and never had a problem with any of it. I would consider it better than average and probably one of the best places to buy bulk in ammo cans. www.georgia-arms.com/index1.htm |
thanks. I'm kind of torn as to whether or not to buy. I used to buy from them all the time back in the day but i am new to my AR and all i keep hearing is horror stories about reloads. I really apreciate all the info guys. Since i am a noob i dont want anything to happen to my AR, so i'm a little skittish. |

Buy with confidence. I'm sure that all makers will have a case failure every now and then, but that's the nature of the beast. I've shout cases of their 9mm and 45acp ammo and never had a problem. I'm just now getting into their .223, but haven't had any problems with it, though the round count is mighty low at this time. Good people and usu at all the gunshows. |
