These .45 Auto rounds from Military Ballistic Industries (MBI) are a great choice for affordable range work and plinking. Each of these cartridges is topped off with a 230-grain plated round nose projectile from Berry's which has been double-struck to prevent shedding and provide smooth travel up any feed ramp style. 230 grains is the staple weight for .45 ACP and represents surefire function in full-size pistols alongside a smooth cycling impulse. Since it matches the majority of practice and defense loads in the caliber, shooters can expect this cartridge profile to maintain a familiar relationship between aim and impact.

Other components used include clean-igniting Boxer primers from CCI or Winchester, time-proven propellant from Hodgdon, and fired brass of varying origin. Each brass casing is meticulously inspected for nicks, burrs, and cracks before being tumbled and reformed. MBI’s stringent quality control process ensures each round is safe to fire before it ships out. Their products are highly valued for their inexpensive cost and hold high favor among numerous law enforcement training facilities across the United States.

CAUTION -- This product is considered “remanufactured” ammunition. Compared to factory new ammunition, remanufactured ammunition can have more instances of high pressure, case-head ruptures, squib loads, failures to fire, failures to eject, and other functional issues which, in turn, can lead to damage to your firearm and potentially severe injury or death to yourself or others nearby. The use of remanufactured ammunition may also void the warranty on your firearm, therefore review your firearm’s owner’s manual or contact the firearm manufacturer with any questions. Do not supply this ammunition to third-parties unless you first inform them that it is remanufactured ammunition.

Transcript

Military Ballistics industries is a US-based company that provides high-quality remanufactured training ammo for civilians, law enforcement, and military. You might think of remanufactured ammo as the reloads that your buddy make in his basement. Well, you can forget about that because MBI makes their ammo pretty much the same way any other factory ammo is manufactured. All of their components are carefully selected from top notch companies like CCI, Winchester and Hornady. They also use state-of-the-art electronic loading machines that provide the same consistency and quality as factory-new ammo. The only difference is that the shell casings have been used before. MBI cartridges utilize a once-fired brass or nickel-plated brass case that usually come from law enforcement shooting ranges. Head stamps are mixed and come from a variety of manufacturers, but they're all checked for defects before being reloaded.

The MBI load we tried out for this review was the 230 grain 45 ACP. The bullet is copper-plated with a lead core. Plating is very similar to a copper full metal jacket except that plating is a little thinner and not the best choice for ported barrels. For any other guns, it works just like the more common jacketed ammo.

We used six different handguns for this review to check out how the MBI load would perform. We didn't run into any feeding problems or ignition failures, and each handgun went through the ammo just like it was a brand new factory load. Recoil was right on par with most of the other 45 practice ammo that we've used, which makes MBI a good choice for its intended purpose as a low-cost training ground.

Accuracy was tested from the bench at 15 yards using a Springfield XDm. Eight of our ten shots hit dead center, right around our point of aim. And the two fliers can probably be dismissed as shooter error.

This MBI load is some of the most affordable 45 available. And for that you get great accuracy and consistent performance. With reloadable brass cases, this ammo starts to look good even next to some of the more traditionally popular domestic brands. If you have any doubts about the quality of MBI, there are lots of positive customer reviews on the website. So be sure to check through all of the MBI handgun calibers to see what other people are saying.

I purchased 1000 rounds of this ammo and had a 40% failure rate. Attempted to contact the company to no avail. I strongly advise gun owners NOT to purchase this company’s ammo. Extremely dissatisfied and disappointed with the product and will forever tell people to refrain from buying from this company.

I'm about 1/2 way done with my 1000 pack. All shot from my Wilsons. Every round fired without issue and they appear to be nice reloads. My only issue is the consistency of accuracy. I'll have the tightest little group at 5 yards and then a whopper that was actually a good shot but tumbled 5 inches off. Those rounds sound totally different when fired too. It's decent ammo and not much dirtier than others. It does the job for high volume private range training, but I wouldn't pay a penny over 300. On sale, I'd buy again without hesitation.

A few failures to feed on my Sig 1911 c3

- Value:
by agarzola on 11/29/2015
My handgun is a Sig Sauer 1911 c3. I’ve never known it to be finicky, and in fact have had a great experience with most non-reload ammunition. This is my first experience with any reloaded ammo.

I took a 100-rd bag of this ammo to the range. At least three of the rounds had bullets that were seated too far into the cartridge, causing it to bulge about a fifth of the way down and resulting in failures to feed. Those were complete failures to feed even with a little bump to the back of the slide, so we discarded them. Additionally, there were a few instances (2, 3 at most) in which the slide wouldn’t move forward all the way on its own, but all of these were easily resolved with a bump to the back of the slide. These rounds were fired and their shells extracted without issue.

Other than this issue, we seemed to hit our targets pretty accurately, and I’m . Other guns with looser tolerances would probably be fine.

I have always been apprehensive regarding the use of reloads. I finally broke down and purchased MBI. When I went to the range to shoot, out of the first 50 rounds, seven were struck on the primer but did not go off. This constitutes nearly a 15% failure rate. Needless to say, I was quite disappointed.

I am shooting it through a Stainless Pietta 1858 Target revolver with a 5 shot conversion cylinder and it works just fine. I removed the barrel and chamfered and polished away the sharp edges where the bullet enters the barrel and using some kydex, made a grip that wraps around the normal grip and fits and supports the hand. I also extended the kydex to support the forearm. I silver soldered a piece of brazing rod to the front sight to raise it 0.150" as it shoots high with 45 ACP. I am shooting silhouette steel targets at the shooting range and it makes a nice "klong" sound when it hits. With an 8" barrel and an 11" sight picture I seldom miss which annoys the semi-auto shooters as I am "klonging" a lot and they are not. I have a bunch of pistols but this has turned into my favorite. Shooting 5 shots at a time it takes a while to go thru 100 rounds so lots of fun for little money.

If you had the choice between new ammo, Or Reloaded ammo which would you choose??? Obviously NEW, BUT when you ask the same question with NEW Steel cased ammo, or Reloaded Brass... I'll choose brass, Just because of it's proven functionality. This having been stated, You can't beat this stuff for the price. I've put 300 (+/- 20) out of my FNP 45 ZERO FTE's, Or FTF's. Given that's not a real break in, It's better than Zero, N' just makin' speculations.
The most important thing is that... It's at the RIGHT Price... Must I even state how important that is?
Better than steel? Yes.
Better Price? Same(For Steel).
Is there any reason to choose Other Bulk .45 ACP FMJ ammo? No.

I was searching for a high-performing range ammo while trying to keep costs as low as possible as I became familiar with a new handgun.

I first ordered 100 rounds to test these in my new Springfield Armory XDm .45 compact and was impressed enough to follow up with a 1000 rd order, which arrived at my doorstep so fast, I was impressed.. Lucky Gunner rocks!

Anyway, I've since fired about 800 rounds from the XDm without a single failure and any inaccuracies during target practice were my fault!

Never a question in mind what ammo I purchase when I'm looking to arm up. I've gotten these rounds before when a family member purchased them and I was so impressed I came back for more. You can't beat MBI's quality and, while the price is climbing slightly, the price. I never have light loads, ejection issues, and they're definitely cleaner than most other bulk ammo. Only thing I'd ask for would be that there's more in stock to purchase more often!

After firing only 200-300 rounds, my Glock 30 is very dirty and I had a handful of FTF's.

Maybe it's the brand of weapon, maybe it's the caliber. Keep you updated.

A couple hundred rounds through a Glock 30 with no problems. I bought this ammo for a plinking round while I built up a reloading base of good brass. I may just keep buying this stuff and not reload 45 ACP. For practice that is!

These feed through my XD Service model just fine, only one jam through 300 rnds so far. These are extremely dirty in my opinion campared to the PMC's i ran through it three weeks earlier. I'll problably get the 1000 rnd PMC's next time because there cleaner and only $20 more than these reloads.

I have purchased 3,000 rounds so far and after the two FTE's - which I do not think was the ammo - the only problem was one squib. Hmm....3,000 rounds - one squib. I am not a math wizard but - good in my book for reloads. Crap I know a guy that has had multiple squibs in factory brand new ammo. I will be buying more.

I'm adding this negative review after a range session where this ammo failed to fire over 50 percent in three different guns. In warm weather, I love this ammo but was very disappointed when the temp was single digits and had this bad experience. (Although the silver lining was that it provided great practice in 'slap rack and clear' without having to insert blanks!!)

Ammo is nice practice ammo. Burn a tad smoky, and some of the rounds were slightly deformed due to shipping in bags which impacted accuracy. Did not have issues with jams, as did not use the bent rounds, and something you need to reveiw as you load your magazines up.... again, nice practice ammo, and one may consider some other type of additional packing to keep rounds from bending...

This was my first order from Lucky Gunner. The service is excellent. I ordered 1000 rounds and fired about 400 rounds. They cycled flawlessly. No squibs, I shot it through my "Tommy" 30 round clip.
The only issue I found just like one of the other reviewers was that 4 of the sealed bags had broken open.
I will order more in the future.

This was my first order from Lucky Gunner. The service is excellent. I ordered 1000 rounds and fired 300 so far. The .45's cycled flawlessly. No squibs, FTE's, or FTF's in my Kimber Pro. Every rounds performance felt even. The only issue I found was that 2 of the sealed bags had broken open during shipping. No real issue but MBI could do a better job of sealing the bags. You cannot find a better value than this and I will be ordering rounds in other calibers very soon.

This is my second batch of 1000 and only three problems so far, one squib, and two FTF's - found the FTF problem - it was not the ammo. Feeds great, shoots consistent, and I recommend it for shooting any non-defense purpose.

This ammo is a great value and considerably more reliable than green shell ammo. The only problem I had was that when I recieved my order the box was broken open and I was missing a considerable amount of ammo. But LuckyGunner customer service was great and the replaced the missing rounds in no time.

Of the 1000 rounds MBI reloads I recently purchased, I fired 75 rounds through my Glock 21 to date, with the exception of one misfire, so far the ammo worked flawlessly.
On the misfired round, the primer had been dented, it did not fire. I did not attempt to refire the round. I removed the bulled and put the spent brass in the reload bin. Given the price, I guess a 1% dud rate is an acceptable cost of shooting reloads.

I recenly bought this ammo form the 100 round section, it's a great ammo but this time I have to give a quality rating of 4 instead of 5 because one round out of 200 was a dud, primer was struck many times over but the round never left the chamber, it happens I guess... from the reloads, still good ammo though.

Having read the highly rated reviews of this ammo, I took a chance on the 1000 round offering. I hoped for the best, and was pleasantly surprised.
This is great shooting ammo in my FNP-45. Not one problem through the first 200 rounds.
I'm going to hoard the rest until I can get more.
With gold prices going so high, your best investment is in lead, and this is an outstanding investment value.

Most reviewers appear to have had zero performance issues with this ammunition...I average a failure rate of about one light load per 80 rounds. (By light load I mean not enough power to cycle the slide). I have experienced these failures in a full size Sig, and both a full size and sub compact Glock...so I cannot blame pistol manufacturer or size of firearm.
I would make this purchase again. The cost of the MBI rounds far outweights the inconvenience of manually chambering a round every few magazines.

I shot 400 rounds for the first time, using a Colt 1991a and Colt Series 80 Officer's with 10 different magazines. The only problem was with the Officer's -2 FTE's. I did not track my mags (oops), so I am not certain if it was a mag issue or the ammo. I think it is one of my mags and have already recommended this ammo to others. Plus I'm planning to buy more. Final point, I do not buy ammo that I think is a problem and at this price it is great for practice, (I loved the other guy’s expressions at the range when they started to notice how many casings were laying at my feet – they were shooting far less than me.), or whatever else use you might need.

Shot over 1000 rounds of this stuff without inspection through my TA-5 Thompson pistol with both the 50 drum and 30 round mag. Not one problem. Love it. Even bump fired it with this ammo and it spit out 50 rounds of this ammo in about three seconds no problem. My 1000 round 9mm batch of this stuff was also flawless through my Sig. Will by this until it no longer works for me, and at this price why not!! Especially since 1000 rounds end up on the floor every session!!

I bought the 1000rd pack based on the product description. These have run flawlessly through by Charles Daly 1911. No failures at all. Who says remanufactured won't work in a 1911? At about $19.25 per 50 you can't beat the price.

Q: Is the ammo magnetic?

Posted On: 11/26/2014 By: Bob Palmer

A: Hello Bob! The MBI is manufactured with a brass case and uses a copper coated, lead core bullet. This round will not be attracted to a magnet.

Q: The thjn plated bullets are not hard on our barrels are they?

Posted On: 6/5/2014 By: Doug Bertoldie

A: Hello Doug, The jacketing on these 230gr. FMJ rounds by MBI in .45 ACP is perfectly safe for your firearm. You won't have any problems with jacket separation with them.

Q: The thinner copper bullets are not hard on the barrel are they

Posted On: 6/5/2014 By: Doug Bertoldie

A: Hello Doug, These 230gr. FMJ rounds by MBI in .45 ACP are not hard on your barrel at all. They will function great in your .45 ACP firearm without any difference in barrel wear than any other copper jacketed round.
