Bats, Balls, and Beyond

Whether you just bought your first gun and are just learning to shoot or you are a seasoned veteran of the firearms community, you will at some point have to buy more ammunition for your weapon, and you might notice that remanufactured ammunition or reloaded ammunition is available at a lower price than brand new ammunition. Here's a little bit about the differences between these ammunition types and why you can shoot your remanufactured .223 firearm ammunition supply with confidence.

Remanufactured Ammunition is Produced With the Same Commercial Equipment Used to Create Brand New Ammunition

Remanufactured ammunition contains all new components just like brand new ammunition with one exception: the casing. The casing from a shot bullet can be recovered and then reused when creating more ammunition. Remanufactured ammunition is created using the same commercial equipment that is used to create brand new ammunition and is subject to the same quality control.

Reloaded ammunition on the other hand also features used casings, but cannot claim to be remanufactured because it is not produced on commercial grade equipment or subject to the same inspection standards. Most shooting pros will tell you that remanufactured ammunition is the better choice because of the better equipment used to assemble the ammunition and the better quality control.

Remanufactured Ammunition Is Made To Meet SAAMI Standards

It was just noted that remanufactured ammunition has to meet a certain standard, and that standard is set by the Shooting Arms & Ammunition Manufacturing Institute. Each production run must use a specific form factor or comply with specific measurements in order to ensure a quality product as well as a safer product. Both remanufactured ammunition and brand new ammunition use SAAMI standards but reloaded ammunition does not.

Remanufactured Ammunition Can Help You Build Up a Bigger Supply for Less Money Which Is Perfect for Those Learning To Shoot

When it comes to pricing, brand new ammunition is obviously the most expensive. Remanufactured ammunition typically costs less than brand new ammunition but is more expensive than reloaded ammunition. Remanufactured ammunition provides a great way to save some money while still getting a high-quality bullet. You can use this type of ammunition to work on building up a large stockpile or supply without draining your bank account. This type of ammunition can be used by anyone but is ideal for new shooters who may need to go through a lot of bullets while they are trying to learn proper form and get their aim and technique under control.
