    Thank You Lake City! Believe it or not I've never had a failure to fire, either when I was in the Army or afterwards and Lake City ammo is all I use in my rifle. I appreciate all you guys do for me and those like me who choose to serve.

    Thank you Lake City!I have used just about every caliber from 5.56mm to .50 cal in my 23 years of service.I especially love the M118 7.62mm Match Grade ammunition.It shoots consistently in the M21 and M24 Sniper rifles I have used.

    As a Veteran, I'm thankful for the conviction of these wonderful women. I hope Lake City always hires Veterans, Families and Supporters of Veterans. I wouldn't want someone that thinks it is alright to take a knee during the National Anthem, making a product that Veterans count on to save their lives. I also believe that women can excel there. Some of the many strengths of women is attention to detail and the willingness to ask questions. A woman's value to the war effort should never be underestimated. I will buy Lake City Ammunition!

  • @danieldefenseM4
    @danieldefenseM4 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    If your talking about the ammo shortage of 07-09, then its simply demand vs. production. There was a HUGE amount of demand in a very short time, something rarely experienced. There was just a shortage of ammo to go around and keep in supply. Normally ammo would sell at a fairly constant rate, and any shortage could easily be replenished as needed. When suddenly everyone and their brother starts buying, theres just not enough out there. Everytime it restocks, it gets resold and its gone.

  • @ArJuna22
    @ArJuna22 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've been using Lake City M855 and M193 ammo for decades. Even though I am no longer in the military I still shoot a lot and I keep many thousands of rounds of Lake City on hand should the need ever arise to defend this country. Those crates in my basement remind of me of my service. And no I do not mean the XM855 or XM193 stuff that did not meet MilSpec standards for whatever reason. Lake City ammo comes out faster and truer than IMI, Prvi Partizan, Wolf Gold, Federal, and Black Hills, all of which I also consider to be very good ammo. Lake City is the best. Once fired the Lake City brass is also great for reloading. I've reused some of their brass up to 6-10 times depending on how hot I load it, and I could probably safely press it even more than that.

    • @Whiskeybuisness
      @Whiskeybuisness 7 ปีที่แล้ว
