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.
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.

- very good target ammo Review by dtk
-
I have fired 1000 rounds of this through my M&P40 without any issue. I had had a few failure to feeds on the first mag, then polished up the feed ramp, and have had zero issues since. This is definitely my go-to ammo for target practice. I have not had a chance to put the gun in a rest/vice and compare the accuracy to factory loads, but I have not seen any difference between this stuff and Winchester white box (fired 50 rounds of this, then 50 Winchester, and it seemed to do just as well). (Posted on 1/12/13)Performance Value Quality - Great value...dirty...but great value Review by Will

I ordered three 100 round packages, and shot all 300 rounds in one trip to the range to sight in a Crimson Trace laser on a Glock 23. Not a single issue, and despite my being a new handgun owner, my individual magazine groupings were almost all completely contained within a dinner plate-sized bullseye set of target sheets. I did have to give the gun a good cleaning afterwards. Will definitely be buying more, and I'll likely buy 1000 round bulk going forward.

I've fired over 1000 rounds thru my Glock 23. Only 1 misfire. I did not have a single jam or stovepipe. It's not pretty ammo but for the price, you can't beat it for target practice. (Posted on 1/7/12)Performance Value Quality - Great ammo will buy again. Review by Bud

Good Ammo, good price. No problems with it in a S&W 4046. (Posted on 12/6/11)Performance Value Quality - would order again! Review by ritch

no problems fast shipment shipping cost is my only gripe. the box was 10 tines size of the product smaller package cheeper (Posted on 11/28/11)Performance Value Quality - M.B.I. Bulk Review by Rick

The MBI 165 and 180 grain bulk packs are the way to go for me as I spend a few hours every week shooting. Never a Had a bad bullet and have gone through many bags of ammo. (Posted on 11/21/11)Performance Value Quality - Good training/practice ammo. Review by CountrySheepdog556

I bought this 100 round pack of MBI .40 S&W so I could test it and see if it was worth picking up more to practice with. Once I placed my order, I received it quickly. Upon receiving, I looked over every round and found 9 rounds with dented cases, and one round that possibly had a tiny hole in the case. I put these aside and haven't shot them yet. The other 90 rounds looked good. I noticed that I had about 12 different head stamps total throughout the bag. Looks aside, the ammo performed well. Out of what I shot, I only had one failure to feed, remedied by slapping the slide of my XD40 into battery. I was in the middle of some defensive pistol training and didn't take the time to really check the issue, but did notice it was one of the nickle cased rounds( it was either a Speer or Winchester case in this instance). Overall, every round loaded in my gun fired so its good ammo as far as I'm concerned. I didn't do any accuracy testing, but I was able to put my shots where I wanted them. I personally wouldn't reload the cases from this ammo just because its already been reloaded at least once. I will probably buy more of this ammo strictly for range use and will pass it on as an affordable option to my friends but will urge them to check every round for any defects.

Ammo arrived before I expected it. Great service. Haven't had a chance to fire yet, but rounds were like new. One plastic package had split open, but otherwise, the packaging was in good shape. (Posted on 8/21/11)Quality Performance Value - Uncertain Review by David

This ammo performed really badly for me but I'm not sure it is entirely the fault of the ammo. I used it in a brand new (never fired) Walther P99. Maybe that gun is fussy or maybe it just needs to be worn in. The first 3 or 4 rounds, of every mag, jammed. The rest of the mag always fired perfectly which suggests it could be the mag spring or something else not related to the ammo.Quality Performance Value
(Posted on 8/20/11) - ammo Review by dannyg
-
this is affordable ammo, and looks decent. but it constantly jams in my sig. where the brass seats the bullet there is a lip that catches and causes it to jam. if you dont mind clearing your gun this is ok, no missfires just alot of jams. i wouldn't use it for carry ammo.

Great price no problems would buy again (Posted on 5/9/11)Performance Value Quality - Fantastic!! Review by Danger

This ammo is amazing for the price!! Normally I shoot 180 gr. 40 cal through my Glock 22, but this 165 gr. runs great too. The ammo is a little dirty, but nothing worse than Remington UMC. I was also very pleased with how accurate this stuff shoots, and I will be buying 1000 rounds of it soon. I had no malfunctions or any other problems out of the 100 rounds in the pack that I got, and every round looked like it was brand new. Bottom line, buy this stuff if you are looking for very good quality range ammo at an incredible price. (Posted on 4/24/11)Performance Value Quality - Great ammo great price Review by Joe

Product was clean and ready to fire. Before I knew it, the bag (of 100) was almost gone. Clean burning, little gun cleaning needed after 80 rounds. 80/80 loaded, fired without issue. (Posted on 1/29/11)Performance Value Quality - Outstanding! Review by Thunderspud

My father found this ammo and purchased it for his 9mm, naturally I couldn't believe the price when I saw it in .40. I took all 100 rounds to the local range and was so pleased with this ammunition that I have already purchased the 1000 round bulk from this site. Not a single misfire or jam.Value Quality Performance
Let me also add that Luckygunner.com was very fast in processing my order, not to mention that I had my product within 3 days time. Outstanding job!!! (Posted on 10/6/10)

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."
