special forces

[shooter53]

hi you guys i was wondering your special forces and SWAT snipers, do they reload their own ammo for missions, or are they specially made by companies for sniping missions

The several I know, reload their own. Course only 1 of them is still active duty.

I'm not aware of any that hand load for duty. Typically it is over the counter match loads that are issued by the department/unit—FGMM, Black Hills, or M118LR and the like.

If any of you are aware of teams that are allowed to use hand loaded ammo, I'd love to hear about
It.

Agreed.

Nobody, and I mean nobody on active duty in the US military is reloading their own ammo other than the AMU, and they just have some privates sitting around spitting out bulk pistol ammo because they shoot so much..

I guess ive lost my bet then, Thanks

No hand loads in LE work. Military Usually have a gov contract with a company to make their ammo.

Federal match grade is what most of our local SWAT type teams use.

You should have told us you had money on it. Would have told you something different.

what is the AMU

 

[Deleted member 115360]

Army marksmanship unit.

They field the competition teams, drink lots of beer, get thrown out of bars and wear cool sunglasses.

 

[new2mud]

Agreed.

I know you weren't implying this @Hecouldgoalltheway, but for those not familiar—AMU shoots in competitions. They are not using these rounds for duty. (Well…technically speaking, shooting in competitions IS their duty…)

Most do…YOUR Rifle, YOUR Load…

Just for the Record, I'm trying to get the Man PAID…(the rest of you didn't help…)

 

[xsn10s]

I know of no police or military agency that does. For police agencies the liability alone would stop them from deploying handloads.

 

[wernerpd]

Agreed.

I can vouch for the fact that when my father was on active duty and assigned to the AMU, he reloaded his own ammo and modified his own government 1911 (I still have it).
