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.

- Great deal Review by Ystrumpet

Had one misfire and one with expanded casing, but happens with factory ammo too. Otherwise, shoots great! Had a ball plinking at 50 yards. Great buy for the price. (Posted on 9/10/12)Performance Value Quality - Good for practice Review by 801Softail

Ammo performs well and very reasonably priced. Shot about 40 of the 100 rounds and 3 rounds so far will not fit into the revolver. (Posted on 8/27/12)Performance Value Quality - Not to happy with it Review by Unlucky gunner

A lot more malfunctions than I anticipated, I shot 100 Rounds threw a .S&W 38 revolver and it was just misfire after misfire. I finally got the misfired Rounds to go off after reusing them a few times. I've shot this gun with different ammo with no problem that's why I'm blaming the ammo. At one point I had 3 failure to fire rounds out of five in one line of fire. I took that opertunity to teach my wife how to deal with malfunctions. I will buy It again just because it's cheap and I dont use for defense. Its great for malfuntion practice. Hope this helps. (Posted on 7/13/12)Quality Performance Value - Qualified with NO problem.

HardWired56 said: "Every order I place gets here in 3 days-the shipping is fast and cheap and the online availability of inventory is the best. I have bought the Lake City reman .45acp and .380-super happy with both rounds. Ok, then I buy several different types of .223/5.56 just to see how they shoot-all were as expected and good stuff. Finally I had to buy more .22longs. Got Federal, Federal Champions and Winchester. I bought 3 bricks of ammo for what I would pay for 2 around here (not counting wasted gas and time). I will order again - Great work folks!"
