LAX Ammo 180gr reloads

Intercooler · December 21 2013 05:27:32 AM MST

I needed a new ammo can ${$default_grin_smiley}$ The rating is only 1040 FPS but they have good reviews. These aren't available very often or for long when posted. Hopefully they will be here next week to see what they are all about.

Plinking ammo.

I am waiting for a chrono result out of your new Glock. ${$default_cool_smiley}$

I can't buy a Glock due to all the ammo expenses ${$default_shocked_smiley}$

I've used LAX before for 45acp and the reloads were very good.

Saw the 10mm ad, and if you use gunbot, you'll see NEW 10mm for 2cents per round cheaper... not overly happy where from, but they are new cases and I reload so they'll be same brand and once fired after I use them (instead of mixed/unknown)

Ammo cans that they give you are plastic and can be picked up at many places for $5-6.

Commercial reloads, not bad if they have some good brass... ${$default_roll_eyes_smiley}$

Received them today and I must say I'm impressed! They all look great and the brass passes for being new. I have purchased brand new never fired rounds that didn't look as good. No bulges, etc... I can see. It's mainly brass with some nickel plated mixed in. The ammo can isn't all that but does have a seal in the lid, plastic construction and a collapsing handle.

The rounds look excellent but the pictures don't do them justice!

These will be great for paper punching if they hit 1050-1080 FPS.

Those look nicely done... ${$default_cool_smiley}$

On par with PPU pricing but with better brass and bullets.

had no problem relaoding their 10mm brass with mid loads.
passed the gauge drop test , all fired fine.

What did you think about the ammo? They look pretty darn good to me. I'm sure they won't be very hot but a good option.

Felt about the same as Amer Eagle.... good plinkin ammo. Not hot by any means.
100% in a stock g20, everyone went bang!

I ran these today with the 4.75" and 6" setups. They shot great and if/when they are in stock again, I will be on them! They are pretty darn good power for plinking because you can shoot a ton without beating you or your pistols up in an extended session. They are about as accurate as any other target round as well.

EAA Limited 4.75" 1105, 1112, 1151, 1126, 1181, 1144. Average = 1136.5 FPS/ 516 LBS
EAA Hunter 6" 1219, 1196, 1206, 1191, 1175, 1144. Average = 1188.5 FPS/ 565 LBS

Those are not bad and fairly consistent! Powder gropped charges and different casing makes could account for some velocity fluctuations! ${$default_huh_smiley}$
