I see they have a 750 FPS 200 gr .45 ACP SWC.
Wondering about accuracy.

The local range in Tulsa uses Zero "factory reloads" as their house ammo. Never had a function problem. No frills.

Yeah - it's been so cold here, I've used zero ammo in the last two months.
Oh... that's not what you're talking about...

- - and some years back.
Our Sheriff's Office used to use Zero brand remanufactured ammo in .38 Spl wadcutter for qualifications. It was highly accurate and pleasant to shoot. some of the guys, both SO and PD, used it for PPC matches.
Funny thing - -I was sorting .38 SPL brass a few weeks ago and ran across several of the Zero ammo boxes.
No experience with their .45 loads.

Hmmm, I haven't had Dan's experience, IF I stick to jacketed. Their lead, yeah, it's dirty (whose isn't?); but their jacketed .38 and .357 (all I can speak to) are very accurate and consistent in my experience of around 1500 rds. Also cheap, if you send them brass--you get an 'exchange' rate that isn't at their website, rozedist.com. Call them & they'll send you a flyer that shows this price.

Whoops. Just called to check this out, and their host went out of business; they'll be back up as soon as they can find a new one. In the meantime, you can still order on the phone # listed at rozedist.com

I've been using their Bullets and reloading my own.
Excellent Quality and best price delivered I've found for jacketed

I have shot the Zero that the Tulsa range sells. I have seen a FTF with a solid primer strike, but only once. OTT it has been good ammo. I don't shoot it anymore for two reasons. First, some of the brass looks like it has been reloaded far too many times. Second, I can still buy factory new Winchester WB at Wal-Mart for less.

I worked for NASA in Huntsville, Al for a year and a half back in the early 90's. Since Zero is in Cullman it was the most popular ammo in the area. I would buy in by the case in 9mm from the range for $6 per box of 50. It was the yellow box which I think is the remanufactured ammo. They would even give me $1 credit back for every empty box of brass that I returned to them. At the time it was some of the cheapest stuff out there that was reliable and available. I liked it.

I've never used any loaded Zero ammo but I have a hundred or so rounds of .357 mag Zero brass (range pick-up) that I've loaded too many times to keep track of. Good stuff.

Funny you should bring that up, I was digging through my basement the other day and found one lonely box of .357 magnum. I figured since it was so old I should probably shoot it right away, so I dumped all 50 rds through a 4" 65-1. I have no idea where it came from but it shot pretty well......
