Anybody have any experience with it? My pocket carry gun is a Kel-tec .380 and I don't shoot it enough because ammo costs suck. Walmart is always out of .380 and I refuse to pay like $15 for a box of 50 at the range. Outdoor Marksman has it for like $56 for 500 rounds of reloaded!!! That's ridiculously cheap. Has anyone had any experience with it?
 
I've used Miwall ammo, I've actually got about 1500 rounds in the Garage right now. I haven't used it in .380 because I don't own one, but I've got it in .44mag, 357mag, and 9mm.

It's quality ammo, that's gone "bang" every time for me. My only complaint would be that it's a bit underpowered compared to factory rounds. I usually reload my ammo but due to some time restraints lately I picked some of this up to have on hand whenever, so I don't have a real problem with it as it is both rerliable and accurate.


For CCW purposes I would advise against it. If you are already carrying a low power weapon, you should use the best ammo you can afford for carry and obviously if you're carrying premium ammo, you need to train with it as well. Just for putting rounds downrange though the Miwall stuff is just fine.
 
I've bought Milwall ammo in both reloaded and new and am very pleased with the cost and performance. I usually buy at a local gunshow where Miwall is sold by Outdoor Marksman out of Salem, OR. www.outdoormarksman.com I have purchased online from them and gotten excellent delivery. The only issue is that they ship ammo with a "signature required" option so I have to be home when it arrives.

I use .38spl in the 147gr FMJ reloads (500 round bulk in a GI ammo can) for target use along with their .357 125gr FMJ new stuff. The .38spl is pretty stout with close to 900fps velocity and 350 ft-lbs of energy. Also tried some .45ACP reloads in 230gr FMJ. All of it shoots great and is quite accurate in my Ruger GP100 and Springer 1911.
 
I've shot their 240 gr LSWC .44 Mag load (~1000 FPS). Put six on paper at 100 yards off hand. It's a nice load. Don't have a .380.
 
I have several thousand rounds of Miwall on hand right now.

I shoot it in .38spl, .357mag, .41mag, .44spl and .45acp.

It's always goes bang. I have found 3 slpit nickle cases in .38spl in the last 500.
 
I bought a plastic ammo can of 500 40 S&W and have had absolutely no problems with. Other than I only have 100 or so of it left! And I like the plastic ammo can that tends to be sold for $10+ by itself.
 
I've gone through 1000 rounds of their 115gr 9mm and 500 rounds of their 158gr .357mag without a hitch. The 9mm was fine in my CZ... seemed cleaner and more consistant than the WWB 100packs at Walmart for what it's worth. :) Gonna have to pick up 1-2k more of the 9mm the next time I'm at the show.

I have a couple of thousand rounds of Miwall .40 at home and I have probably shot about 600 rounds. I'd say the accuracy is just mediocre (at least in my three .40 1911's), but I am also having the occasional feeding problem where the gun jams and I find the bullet hung half way into the barrel throat with the slug pushed back into the brass a ways. Maybe the crimp isn't tight enough, or maybe the shape of their bullet is different? No problems with any other ammo. Anyway, I can't use the stuff for my speed shooting league because I get jams and I can' use it for PPC because it throws the occasional flyer into the "9" ring at 25 yards. It's strictly practice ammo.
 
I have over a thousand rounds of this stuff right now. It is pretty much all I shoot, since I discovered a local Miwall dealer at the funshows. I have shot at least 5,000 rnds of their reloads in the last two years. Great ammo, great price.
 
Several thousand rounds of .40 through a few USP's and an MK40.

Nary a problem, but for one round seated backwards. Not heavily charged, but fine practice ammo.

All this was a few years ago, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy more.
 
Have used it in 4 calibers...

and I agree with 461. Good stuff, and no issues.
 
I dont like the .38s only because they stink and lead up my barrel. Other than that they go bang everytime. The 9mm is good stuff.
