#Ammoload 9mm brass code#

The normal headstamp of this company is MECA. It is interesting that an earlier headstamp used by Freedom Munitions (AMMOLOAD) also shows up on the website of the Anatolia Cartridges Co Ltd, on brass washed steel cases. I suspect that they are early headstamps, or even development cases that found there way to a reloader. As you can see in the blowup of the headstamps, there is no indication of the type symbols on the headstamps. The cases were likely reloaded since they included both brass and nickel primers. These were from a reloader out west who found the following fired cases at a range, only one of which had the symbol. Recently another Freedom Munitions headstamp showed up with just the IMT but without the type symbols. I have a box of ammo by LAX with the headstamp. The brass with both AmmoLoad and has reportedly been sold to other companies who have loaded and sold it.

#Ammoload 9mm brass code#

There is now a new code being used, FM for Freedom Munitions. There are also cases marked AmmoLoad which were sold by Freedom Ammo before the IMT cases. Before the new name was registered, but after brass with the IMT code was produced, they decided to change the name to Howell Munitions and Technology. Originally the company over all of these was to be named International Munitions and Technology and this is where the IMT code originated. Twin Rivers Loading Company-Sells custom contract loading servicesĪll these companies except X-treme Bullet are located in Lewiston, however it appears that Freedom Munitions is, or was, a Limited Liability Company (LLC) registered in Houston Texas. Howell Machine-Supplier of custom equipment to ammo industry since 1989Īmmo Components-Sells new brass, processed brass, bullets, primers and powder X-Treme Bullets (previously West Coast Bullets)-plated bullet manufacture.

They, along with a number of related company were owned by Howell Machine in Lewiston ID. There are mixed headstamp brass with the reman I get, so I doubt Freedom uses different machines for different headstamps.I know that it's been a long time since the topic was updated, but I wanted to add this information that I found on another forum today because freedom munitions is still using this crap internally stepped case and there are more recent topics concerning kabooms.įound this info out here, and they also have a lot of photographs:įreedom Munitions is a retail outlet for the sale of commercial ammunition. There is some info on the internet about reloading (mostly not to do it), if that may be a consideration or concern for you. My understanding is they utilize proprietary reloading machines and brass, Ammoload and IMT head stamped brass.

I have shot it all in 9/45 and for my purposes can't really see an advantage to 1 over the other.įreedom is part of Howell Munitions and Technology. The reman is normally the cheapest I can find, with the new running a close 2nd. But they have regular sales, and their quality has been extremely consistent.Disclaimer, For range ammo, I shoot the least expensive ammo I can find, and have never had an issue. Used it in 6 classes at Gunsite, around 1000 rounds each class, and it ran flawlessly through our Glocks and XDm.īeen using them since 2010, and my only complaint is that now they have a TX store, I have to pay sales tax on top of shipping, making them a less cheap option. Been using their reman ammo almost exclusively.

We've shot well over 10K rounds of their stuff, albeit mostly 9MM, but a thousand or so.
