Choice Ammunition

Saw these guys online but haven't read much about them. They offer ammo in several different bullet types. Do any of you have experience with this brand? Any feedback?

I live in Missoula, so I went down to check them out. I had them shoot all of their 6.5 CM offerings and my tikka liked none of them, and then their ammo guy who did the shooting said that the problem was the gun, the scope, or the mounts. He couldn’t live with the fact that his loads didn’t shoot in my rifle.

I didn’t find them to be overly professional either.

I'm also interested if anyone has any other experiences. I'm looking to purchase some 270 ammo loaded with 150 partitions and wanted something a little hotter than what Federal loads.

Long story but I ordered they billed my account, but I have never received my order. They have very poor commination. Best I can say is shop somewhere else.

I ordered some 6.5 prc ammo took couple months to get the order they didn’t have the brass not there fault I called and talked to someone he said the 156 probably wouldn’t shoot in my gun twist is to slow I just wanted to try the bullet before diving down the rabbit hole I also figured it wouldn’t shoot but wanted to try. Whatever he loaded shoots lights out it’s unbelievable how well it shot out of my gun

[Missed that buck]

Do NOT buy this ammo. I lost a really nice buck because the primer in a 30 06 load did not fire. I wanted to send it back to Choice for them to review (and hopefully help their manufacturing) but they refuse to answer my calls or emails. Four calls and four emails to them so far with no response. Don't take the risk of this happening to you. Better to purchase tried and true ammo!

Amazing to me how company's have such crap service and expect to stay in business.

 

[Ryan Avery]

The owner was less than helpful on the phone and very condescending.

The bummer is that I still have 1.5 boxes of this ammo that I have zero confidence in. Target practice I guess!

Found these guys online seems like they’re one of the few shops that have ammo in stock. Thought I would check to see what fellow roksliders had to say. Sad to hear they have less than stellar customer service. Unfortunately I’ll have to look somewhere else

 

[Panhandler80]

Dang. Not a good read. Just ordered a lot (for me) ammo from them. Had positive things prior to finding this.

Hmmmm.

Can’t say I was real impressed with the stuff I have seen from them. Seating depth and powder charges all over the place to the point where I pulled everything down and reused the components.

Perfect.

Maybe I’ll just cancel the order.

ugh.

Sorry man. I would definitely spend my money elsewhere like Unknown Munitions.

Grrr. Availability is such a joke, though. A few months ago Midway had around I like but I was appalled of the price I thought it might drop. Dumb

Interesting that they have such bad reviews, had I read this I wouldn't have purchased anything from them. I ordered 250 grain loads for my 35 Whelen from them earlier this month and they arrived in 9 days, all mic'd out consistently and shot well under an inch. Now I am curious so will have to inspect the primers and run them over the chronograph. So far I've been pleased with them though.

Edit/Update... I had a second box of the 250 grain loads for my Whelen, when I put the first round in the bolt was hard to close and when I pulled it back the bullet was left in the chamber and spilled powder into the action and magazine. I mike'd all the rounds and they were all consistently 3.41-3.43", well over the 3.34" overall length specified. Since I now have powder I just pulled the bullets and reloaded the cases. Lesson learned.

i bought five boxes of 180 grain TTSX for my 300wm and they are shooting okay but not great. Not sure how much of that is ammo and how much is shooter error. Every time I’ve shot I’ve been in a hurry. Last effort a week ago pictured below. Again not ideal, but certainly good enough to hunt with. Most recent grouping pictured below. Gun seemed to like off the shelf ammo a little better. Best seemed to be Hornady 180 super performance. Bergara Hunter gun.
