Tennessee Cartridge Co. - Oakland, TN

[Guest dreh]

Does anyone know about the ammo put out by Tennessee Cartridge Company out of Oakland, TN.? I am looking ooking for something for target practice. Thanks for your help.

I use them almost exclusively for all of my target practice. Not the most reliable sometimes, but hey, it lets you practice your malfunction drills more often

[Guest Oaklands]

I bought quite a bit of .380 off them last year. It worked great for me.

I have shot quite a bit of it and have never had a problem with it.

[G27]

Pretty good stuff - I've had fewer problems with it than Remington's UMC.

I have shot a bit of it in .45ACP but my RIA doesnt care for their reloads,I havent had any problems with the . 40 or 9mm.

Can you but "DIRECT" from Tennessee Cartridge Company? Or do you have to go elsewhere to get it?

[G27]

I get mine from RangeUSA.

[Guest canebreaker]

Just enter "Tennessee Cartridge Company" in search and find out if online orders can be taken.

I doubt it. When I talked to Mike up at RUSA not too long ago, he was telling me how TCC was having touble keeping up with the demands of the bigger orders such as RUSA and other shooting ranges.

I used to love shooting TCC reloads but over the past year, their prices rose to the point that factory ammo from walmart is actually cheaper. They make fine target practice, just expensive.

Yes, they'll sell directly to you, but like one previous poster stated, they're having a hard time keeping up with demands.

As far as my experiences, I've had VERY few problems with thousands of rounds of 9mm, 40, and 45. Had a bad batch of 380 one time that had some bad primers. All in all, pretty reliable and will get the job done if WalMart is out of your ammo.

[Guest DefensiveGuy]

Good luck with it. Using 380.

[tnhawk]

I've used .380, 9 mm, .40 and .45 acp from them without any problems. In Memphis, RangeUSA and Guns & Ammo have them.

[Sidinman]

I've shot some of their 44mags. last year w/o any problems.

[Guest yogi01]

I have some guns that have match barrels and they don't like the reloads since the cases are not always perfect. I shoot lots of TCC ammo at the range in Jackson and I expect at least 1 failure per 100 rnds. Good stuff for killing paper but I would not use it for carry.

[kb4ns]

Personally, I wouldn't depend on anyone else's reloads for carry, but that's just me...

You can buy direct, but the minimum order is 1000 rds. Call 1-800-942-2829 for a price quote. Go to their web site at Tennessee Cartridge Co. - Ammunition Manufacturer and print out a copy of an affadavit they require. They told me the demand is high and it takes them 1-2 weeks to fill an order.
