Its mostly 223 reloaded from SAW 5.56 brass out of Ft. Benning and Ft. Stewart. I personally know of two six rifles that have suffered catastrophic failures while firing Canned Heat. GA has covered the loss of neither weapon.

Caveat Emptor.

Want great reloaded ammo?

http://shop.cccammo.com/22355655grfmjpackageof100.aspx

Been shooting it for years and see the guy several times a year at the Houston Gun Show.

Nothing fancy about his sales technique or advertising. The ammo sells itself.

Pretty decent for range ammo there too.

His reloads I'll even take hunting. He'll be putting SP reloads out soon again. SP supply has been to short for him to offer it this year so far.

But I used them last year for hog hunting and they all shot fine, except for the extra lead fouling many of those SP's cause.

I have a standing rule that I never would use any remanufactured brand for SD, but if I had no choice then I'd want his.


He'll even do custom ammo if you want several hundred units.

Forgot all about them, they never did get back to me after doing both the contact us form and sending a e-mail.

If they want my money and they have a contact us form along with a e-mail and do not reply, well that tells me they don't really want my money....

I've shot hundreds of rounds of Georgia Arms ammo, both .223 and 10mm. No problems. And after reading the responses about mixed ammo on a TWO year old thread, I don't see any problems recently, so I'll just keep shooting mine.

There was ONE loudmouth over at TOS a few years ago, who mixed in some rounds of GA Arms Canned Heat, with some of "Uncle Dub's reloads," rolleyes.gif and blew up a crappy, out-of-spec Bushmaster, with SOMETHING that came out of said container of mixed ammo. He complained bitterly & loudly across a LOT of boards actually, about GA Arms, who not only analyzed ALL the ammo he sent him (they determined it was one of "Dub's reloads" that was the culprit), but REPLACED his rifle at their cost anyways, and the loudmouth CONTINUES to complain to this day. rolleyes.gif

I've sent 2k of Canned Heat .223 downrange since '07, and I'm sitting on 2k more for practice. Never a hiccup - never a problem. If you have some you don't want though, feel free to ship it to me for proper disposal! I'll even spring for the UPS man to bring it! bigsmile.gif
