Details
Military Ballistics Industries (MBI) specializes in custom ammunition and ordinance products for use by the military, law enforcement agencies, and training facilities in the United States.
This remanufactured (reloaded in a factory) product is brass-cased, boxer-primed, non-corrosive, reloadable, and packaged in 100 round, sealed plasti-packs. It is both economical and precision manufactured by an established American cartridge producer.
The brass for this ammunition will have various headstamps and may be brass or nickel-plated brass.
Remanufactured ammunition has been around for decades. Some of the world’s best shooters use only remanufactured or custom manufactured ammunition to achieve a level of consistency and optimal ballistics performance that cannot be achieved with mass-manufactured ammunition. Remanufactured ammunition is produced by assembling carefully selected components to include specialty bullets, propellants, primers, and previously spent brass cartridge casings. The bullets, propellant, and primers are always newly manufactured while the brass cartridge casings are typically reprocessed to reduce costs or improve consistency.
This MBI product is manufactured using only the highest quality products available to ensure consistent ballistics and firing performance. The propellant is manufactured by Hodgdon, the bullets are manufactured at either the Lake City military manufacturing facilities or by Hornady, and the primers are manufactured by either CCI or Winchester. In addition to using only the best available components, MBI ammunition is assembled using some of the most modern electronic press equipment available. Because exceptional consistency is a major factor in creating accurate ammunition, a production facility that uses finely calibrated electronic press technology is key to ensuring that each shooter is well-pleased with the performance of their ammunition.
Each brass cartridge casing used to produce MBI ammunition is processed by first undergoing a lengthy mechanical cleansing process. Once cleaned, each casing is then re-calibrated by an electronic press to ensure that the final dimensions of each round are within micrometer tolerances. Each casing is then re-primed and re-charged using high-quality primer and propellants. Once the new bullet is seated using a precision-tuned electronic press, each round is hand-inspected to ensure perfection.
This product is not just remanufactured ammunition. It is “precision” remanufactured ammunition for the serious shooter. The fact that it costs less than most new ammunition is simply an added benefit.

- OK Ammo, Not Great Review by Jack in Michigan
-
This ammo shot fine in my S&W 19, except two of the cartridges were bent so badly they would not fit into the cylinder. Except for these flaws, this ammo is acceptably accurate (Posted on 11/19/12)Performance Value Quality - Good/Reliable Ammo Review by Tim LCP380

I've shot a couple hundred rounds of this .38 Special MBI and have found it to be excellent qauality and clean burning stuff. We orderd another 500 to fill up the safes. Good stuff and excellent value IMO. (Posted on 1/26/11)Performance Value Quality - good Review by chad

First time buyer, wanted to give Lucky Gunner a try. I'm not disappointed. Good price, very quick delivery - ammo shoots well. I will definitely buy from them again! (Posted on 1/10/11)Performance Value Quality - Won't buy again. Review by Sailorman
-
I don't know what other reviewers were shooting but I found this ammo to be neither cheap nor good. 99 rounds were acceptable, loading felt consistent (no noticably weak or hot rounds) and my groups were OK. The powder was unusually dirty, lots of smoke and powder fouling on the weapon. One round had an improperly installed primer (kind of tipped and mashed) and leaking powder. Speaks to poor quality control.Performance Value Quality

A day after ordering 500 rounds of this ammo for my new S&W 642, I found a negative posting by a person on another forum regarding the MBI. He stated that upon his inspection, 40 of his first 200 rounds were not fit to be put into his gun, and even had a photo of one of the rounds showing a cracked cartridge! Needless to say, I was a little concerned. When I received my order, I proceeded to rip a couple of bags open and carefully inspect the rounds for myself. Although clearly remanufactured (as advertised), I visually saw nothing that gave me any concern. I have subsequently put 200 rounds through my gun, and the ammo has performed flawlessly. At this point I will have no hesitation ordering more, especially given the great price. LuckyGunner also promptly filled my order and shipped the product. Great people to deal with.

Bought 500, shot about 125 first time. Good ammo. No misfires, loads OK, shoots very nice in my Ruger. Great practice ammo. (Posted on 11/5/10)Quality Performance Value - Loved them. No missfires Review by Have cheap ammo will shoot

Not one miss fire. These are great bullets. They even had a little kick to them. I was shooting a old 5 shot snub nose concealment gun. That old Taurus makes a lot of noise. But I did get a great grouping. My palm was a bit bruised the next day. The grip is small and hard wood.Performance Value Quality
A ++ Ammo 60 shot. Will buy again. I love Lucky Gunner

Had no problem with these rounds. Used them in my Ruger GP-100 6" 357. Only shot 100 rounds so far but seem to be as good as over-the counter ammo. (Posted on 6/23/10)Performance Value Quality - Great price on ammo Review by George

You know exactly what they have, and it's almost always a better price than anywhere else you might find. There are never backorders, so you're not dissapointed when you open your package to find half of your order not filled. You can count on your ammo being delivered to your front door in just a few days after you place your order. I have told my family, friends and people at my shooting club that Luckygunner.com is the best place for all of your ammo needs."
