I just completed my first transaction with Ammunition to Go. All of the copper jackets on all of the bullets are tarnished, and some of the bullets have a little tarnish or minor surface corrosion on the nickel-plated cases. This is the first time I've purchased premium factory defense rounds that have had problems like this from any vendor. They are Federal Tactical Bonded 230 gr HP in 45 ACP. Are these bullets acceptable to carry ? Would you accept these bullets in this condition from this vendor ?

Pictures?

I've purchased police surplus ammo a couple times from Ammunition to Go and recently bought a box of .45 HST 230gr along with a box of 9mm HST and a couple boxes of Federal 115gr +P+. All this ammo was in perfect condition.

Previous orders of Winchester Ranger in .45 and 9mm all came in similar condition but did have a single box that was wrinkled a bit on one corner, probably from being dropped. Could have been in shipping or have happened during storage. Everything was good inside though.

As to the box of ammo you received I wouldn't worry about a little bit of tarnish on the bullets or the cases but shoot a few rounds to put your mind at ease. I'm sure it wasn't sent to you purposely as second class merchandise.

I've purchased a half case of Fed HST's from them and they were all perfect.

I was perfectly pleased with the HST .45 I bought from them, and I don't recall seeing any negative experiences posted about this company (the opposite, in fact).

Why not give them a call or shoot them an e-mail, preferably with photos?

All of my orders from ATG have been promptly processed and shipped, carefully packed and sealed, and accurate in content.

Some of the individual boxes weren't in perfect condition externally, but I have had no problems with any of the ammunition itself.

Overall, I have been very pleased with ATG.

Very pleased with their customer service. They always call me if an order has to be backordered. They will have my business for a long time.

I love ATG, I have never had a bad experience with them. As far as the copper jackets looking a little dull, I have noticed that before in some bullets but not others. For instance, my first couple boxes of 147 HST, the jackets were very dull looking. Nothing wrong with them, just a definite dull look. The 124+P HST in the same shipment was brighter looking.

No problems with either, quite the contrary.

I just did my first transaction with these folks - ordered Tuesday morning, got an email with tracking info before the end of the day! Ammo will be here Friday.

Love Ammo to Go!!

I have been laying in some ammo of late and almost all has been purchased from them.

Great prices on the Federal FliteControl 00Buck loads I am stocking up on. There are some deals on their site.

I have been buying from ATG for over two years now and I must say that I will be buying from them for many more years if they keep takingcare of me the way they have.
maybe it is me, but I could not tell you the cosmetic quality of any ammo I have purchased from them.

I just received another order, and while I did not inspect each round, the samples I examined from each box were beautiful and gleaming, like fresh off the line.

Just received 500 rds of Federal hst 230gr, +p, perfect and fast delivery. Purchased from them before, never a problem.ATG a great retailer.

They are my primary source of ammo. Great product and even better customer service. Give them a call, I'm sure they'll make it right.

I have had great luck w/ ATG.

+10 for me on Ammo to Go. I've ordered numerous times from them and have always been pleased with the service and product.

Just recieved my first order from them today! Everything was great! Got some 9mm 147gr Speer Gold Dots and Federal Tactical HST's. I love the design of the Federal's so I will be ordering more in the near future! These rounds will also become my carry load and replace the winchester 9mm 147gr bonded.

ATG ranks up there with Topgunsupply, IMO.

I'd call or email if you were really concerned and they will take care of you.

i also love atg they have good prices...ive delt with them 5 times in the last 11 months,and always good product with quick service...

Same experience as most posters above; I've ordered from ATG several times before and I have been thoroughly satisfied. Pictures would be good, and I'm interested in hearing ATG's response if you choose to contact them.
