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 50 round boxes. 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.

Military Ballistics Industries makes ammo in the US designed for economical range and training use. Due to a few cost-saving measures, MBI ammo is offered at a competitive price point that can fit almost any budget. All MBI ammo features once-fired brass or nickel-coated brass casings gathered from law-enforcement shooting ranges.
This is reloaded ammo, but it's not like what you would make in your basement. It's all done on high-tech, automated machines, and other than the used cases, it's very similar to you would get with factory-new ammo. MBI also uses copper-plated bullets rather than traditional full metal jacket. The copper plating is thinner than a copper jacket, but performance is very similar. I've shot thousands of rounds of plated bullets and not had any problems with reliability or accuracy. However, it's not recommended that plated bullets be used with ported barrels, since the ports can shear off the copper plating.
Plated bullets are also less hazardous for use in indoor ranges, since there's no exposed lead anywhere on them. For this test, we shot the 115 grain MBI ammo. We had no problems with function or reliability in any of our seven test guns. Accuracy was pretty good as well, as you can see from this group we shot at 15 yards.
Military Ballistics Industries is a company you probably haven't heard a whole lot about yet, so if you've got any questions about its quality or reliability, just check out the reviews on the website.

I haven't had a single problem with this ammo. Have shot 4,000 + rounds with 3 different guns. There is no discernable performance up to 25 yds.

Top notch ammo (Posted on 11/24/10) - They all go Bang! Works for me Review by Edward

These rounds not only shoot clean, but are clean themselves. My thumb and index finger usually get very dirty after a day at the range with brand-named, boxed ammo, but with these I walk out with very little "stains" on my fingers.Quality Performance Value
I like the thick plastic bag packaging. I'm able to carry more in my range bag because it saves LOTS of space.
This ammo shoots well. No problems. They're as good as any familiar brands of ammo. And without a shred of doubt, they are significantly better than particular brands of factory ammo from Russia or Hungary.

Purchased 1000 rounds and shot it all over 2 days. No jams, misfeeds or any other issues. The cases looked good enough to be reloaded. The ammo is worth the price.

I ordered 1000rds of this stuff and it only took a few days to show up in Florida. I have ran about 300-350rds thru my Glock 19c and had no issues at all. I put all 1000rds into keeper boxes and found only TWO imperfects when I was putting it away. It shoots just as straight and clean as some of the factory new fmj I was shooting and that stuff was $20+ per 50. I am very pleased with this product and even happier I found out about LuckyGunner.com. To borrow a line from the Governator... I'll be back! (Posted on 9/27/10)Value Quality Performance - Right on!

BurlMeister said: "The Lucky Gunner is the place I'll be buying my ammo from now on.It was my first time experience at buying ammo on line, so I was a little concerned. They were easy to find and navigate their web page.The selection was out standing and great prices. The thing that stood out the most was there customer service. You know all about your puchase and where it is until it reaches your front door, then they e-mail to make sure you recieved it. They are a company that knows customer service is what can make a company in difficult economic times."
WildDawg1 said: "What a great experience it was using Lucky Gunner. Excellent prices, fast delivery and the quailty was exceptional. I have used them on at least four occasions and always the same great service. If only there were more online dealers who took as great care with their customers would make things so much simpler thanks gunner"
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!"
