If so, what was your experience with customer service and quality of the ammunition?
Thanks in advance!

I'm interested in this as well. I get ad from them all the time. The packaging and overall arrearance of the ammo look great but I've never ordered any nor talked to anyone who has...

Yep, I'm also interested
OK, so who's gonna be the first guinea pig to get some and give us a review??![]()
I was on the site today and thought about ordering some but don't wanna buy it in bulk until I've heard something about it and buying one box with $5 shipping isn't cost effective.![]()

I ordered 100 rounds 100gr .380, 100 rounds 90gr .380 (new) and 150 rounds of the reloaded 9mm 115gr. fmj ammo. It arrived in 8 days, and was dropped off. I like that, it bugs me when you have to sign for things. The price was very good, $85 after shipping. Shipping is probably the most reasonable I've seen yet. I don't know about other places, but having ammo shipped to Seattle is just absurd.
Anyway, the boxes were mismarked, I think, for the .380jhp. It listed it as 95 gr. jhp and 95 gr fmj. The .380 fmj's were nickel plated. As to how they performed...I honestly cannot tell you. I tried them in my new taurus tcp, along with 3 other types of ammo. Only 1 type, magtech seemed to work the the pistol without an FTE....but I am pretty sure the pistol is just messed up. I had no light strikes with the USA .380's, but many FTE's, but ...I also had FTE's with Independence ammo, and a ridiculous amount of light strikes with S&B ammo. The USA ammo is probably fine.
I fired only about 50 of the reloaded 9mm 115gr. Interestingly, the reloaded stuff is brass and packed normally in trays, like normal ammo....while the new .380 ammo is packaged loosely in boxes. All the rounds fired fine through my FNP 9. I can't really tell if they are anymore accurate or not than others, but it seemed fine. I was also shooting fiocchi 9mm 115gr. that I received..also a good deal. The reloaded 9mm seemed maybe a little bit softer recoiling than the fiocchi, but fiocchi is a bit snappy. I'd guestimate that the rounds are probably WWB zone velocity, which I think is pretty good. Definately stronger than CCI blazer type. I didn't shoot too much ammo through the pistol, but when cleaning it seemed like it was not unusually dirty, more or less normal.
Anyway, I think I will continue to order from them. The only place that seems to be a better price, or comparible is midwesthunteroutlet, which is a bit of a scam. I ordered 450 rounds of that fiocchi 9mm 'in stock' but it took me 3 weeks, at least, to get it. It took like 2 weeks to get an order confirmation for an in stock item. Plus I had to sign for the stuff, which is irritating since I wasn't home the first time the fedex/ups guy was around.
I think that USAammo could maybe be a little faster getting the stuff shipped, but honestly it seems they ship it just as fast as CtD, Sportsmansguide...and the like.
So yeah it has my endorsement. I'm sure the .380 ammo is probably fine out of most guns, my taurus pistol seems a little wacked.

ordered some .380 as well. it should arrive in a few days. will get back with "you"
The .380 was probably a bit weak.
And S&B has hard primers (cause of light primer strikes on those).
I had a SIG P238 and it had a 94% failure to extract on Federal American Eagle, but extracted Remington Golden Sabers just fine (well, had a stovepipe, but the case was ripped apart). I'm staying away from anything under 9mm now, so not an issue for me anymore.

I got my 380 ammo last week. Shoots nice. I got good groups. I was using my colt mustang pocketlight. Perfect feeding so far with 150 rounds. My boss shot some out of his crappy old Jennings and they fed perfectly on that pistol as well.
I only got the 380 as their prices are way better than anything local. I may try some of the 45 as well. I have not bought any yet cause I get factory stuff at pretty good prices from my local independent shop. I try to support them over Wally world and gander mtn as much as I can.
My boss is upgrading to a S&W bodyguard. He is picking it up today so I/ we will give the ammo a try in it as well.
