We toured the AAC factory while we visited Palmetto State Armory last fall. This video discusses the AAC ammo tour and what we saw while there. I've toured several ammo manufacturers in the past and what we saw at AAC was impressive.
#AAC #ammo #factory
Great to see PSA cranking out ammunition.
Yes
Waiting for their steel and brass 6.5grendel ammo.
Where is the 5.45?
Just bought 1,000 rounds of 125gr 9mm. About to buy the same in 115. Best price for manufactured ammo and no issues whatsoever on my end!
I have loved psa for years and years. They do great things for the 2A community and America in general.
We all need to stand up and let these people know that we are here and loud and proud........and we are goimg to let'em know that we are here and not going anywhere......BUZZ
Can't say great enough stuff about psa. I know people bash them as an Anderson level poverty pony. But what they are doing for the 2a community is just astounding. I pray for their continued success and progression. It will only benefit us even more.
i use to feel that way but i thing their quality continues to improve
They definitely grew out of that
PSA quality has improved where as Anderson has not. My experience.
PSA is great, can't everybody go out and have a room full of Daniel Defense stuff!
I got bear creek arsenal for my first upper… PSA would be an upgrade. Both companies from all available evidence put out products that work. Obviously their not the best certainly not exceptional. However their still a legitimately great product. If I can find 5.56 for $.50 a round after all the shortages I really don’t care as long as it’s legit.
Looking forward to their American made steel case 7.62x39 ammo
Same so I can fire it out of my one American AK lol
Triangular bayonet wounds as the founding fathers intended
Same here! I haven't seen any updates if their timeline is still 2023. Looking forward to some cheap USA steel.
Last I heard production was suppose to start early 2023. Somebody needs to do an update video.
Looking forward to their 6.5grendel.
I've been buying this ammo since I found out it was a product of Palmetto State. Their 77 grain otm match 556 ammo is outstanding.
Except when it causes a baffle strike.
@@deleteduser7132 Has this happened? What rifle/barrel, type of mount, and type of can?
@@deleteduser7132 sounds like a barrel being non concentric and not an ammo problem.
I agree. Excellent round
The AAC 300 Blackout ammo is surprisingly consistent and priced well.
I'm not a 556 hater but 300 blk is more ideal and versatile as a combat cartridge ranging from highly effective 110 grain to 220 grain. If someone can quality mass produce it, I really think it should become the dominant American cartridge.
Love my 300 Blackout Aac but run mostly supersonic in mine ranging from 110-135 range loaded hot with lil gun powder and has good power within 300 yards with Barnes or 200 yards with Hornady tips, drop them deer quick
I bought a box of 110gn pink tip vmax (2350 fps) on sale at psa for like 11$ a box! Cant ask for a better price for real personal protection/hunting ammo and 1000 round of aac 9mm for 225$ delivered from another website! Its going to change the market and force companies to bring their prices down
@@wallyunitus8071what's the name of the site where you found the 9mm that cheap?
PSA is the biggest reason 5.56 and 300 blk prices came down and for that they'll forever have my business!
Can't wait for 5.45x39 ammo and subsonic 7.62x39 !!!! Thank you PSA !!!!
Has that been confirmed lately?
Subsonic 7.63x39 would be amazing
Every time I hear an update about psa, I’m blown away!
They have come a long way and the fact that they support “we the people” first, makes me admire them more.
Yeah, PSA has become my favorite firearms company. Their atory and philosophy is just awesome stuff. Truly respectable.
We need to topple gun regulation so every akv is less gay
Indeed!
Love supporting companies that support their consumers
They will become quite the powerhouse if they can keep this momentum going
Really impressed with PSA overall as a company. They’re doing great stuff
I've opened a 200-round pack of Winchester "white box" 9mm ammo and found a "round" that was nothing but a clean, primered case - no powder, no bullet.
I hope AAC drinks their milkshake.
I have used AAC 556 for a bit now. 65gr and 77gr perform consistently solid all day long. Shipping from AAC is phenomenal. Several times I order one night and box hits the porch on the 2nd day. I've never had to wait more than 3 days.
I love seeing PSA/AAC choosing civil shooters first instead of military. I also love and appreciate the fact that AAC will be making their own primers. I've been using AAC ammo for my 9mm, .380, 5.7 and .300 Blackout. All work perfectly.
That 77gn 5.56 they make is awesome! I can't get enough!
So glad to hear they are making their own primers. Hope we're talking Federal or CCI quality and PSA will sell them separately for reloading.
Theyll be gpod quality for the money. Probably jotnthe highest wuakity most expensivest but itll be great for the budget guns psa is making.
God Bless PSA, doing the lord’s work arming the people.
Agreed... When to dust settles and this is over...they will build a stature in honor of PSA at the factory.
Been waiting for this video, I hope they bring 762x39, 545x39 steel case to the market soon.
That sounds great. I’d love to find a non corrosive 5.45 that i could afford to shoot out of my rifles.
I hope they also make some brass case 7.62x39 as well
AAC is my favorite non fancy round... never regretted buying them even once.
Keep it up PSA! What a glorious name AAC! Bring us good cheap ammo back! I find myself spending bare minimum $100 every time I go out and that adds up. I love your message civilians first! MAC as always great informative content keep it up brother 🤘
Man, I could watch ammo being loaded/manufactured all day. Seeing that much ammo in one place is just crazy. It's almost like watching money being made, but cooler. Whenever I see a huge vat of ammunition it just makes me want to do a Scrooge McDuck dive into it.
*more cool
@@jfannin6036 lol. Yeah, that's what I actually meant to say, but apparently said it wrong. I'll fix it.
@@Mockturtlesoup1 much mo' Betta
ACC Ammo really stepping up the game !!!
I swear psa is gonna dominate the firarms market on every front for the consumer its great to a degree
I believe that!
The more I hear and by PSA stuff the more I’m a fan of!!! I was a bit hesitant at first thinking they were a subpar brand. These fine folks are legit!
I’ve been using PSA for years. Love them guy. It’s so great the direction they have gone thanks for showing us the videos on how well they are doing and improving. Thanks MAC
That primer factory is game changing! For all those companies who said it wasn't "economically viable" to build new production capacity, we'll remember
So grateful PSA took off! LOVE their products!
Mac I never knew or read the box when I bought it was made by PSA. So good to know. I will definitely be buying more of it now to support their company. I love what they are doing for our community.
I've used the 5.56 55 grain and it runs great and very affordable...am WAITING for the 308.
Same here. That caliber is pricey as I recently found out, even for ball ammo. 90 cents each
Yeah same I was happy running monarch and barnaul steel cased .308 but it's gotten scarce lately.
The Russian ammo ban really hurt my .308 fun. Barnaul made a 150 gr hpbt it was still cased but my AR-10 would consistently give 1 moa with it.
I held off from building an AR due to cost of ammo. Couldn’t justify spending all that money on a build I wouldn’t shoot often. But finding AAC at 40 cents a round was amazing. I built my first 14.5 Bcm cause of their ammo prices.
It's neat seeing things like this.
All I can say is thanks PSA for dropping that money into primer manufacture. Please continue to supply us reloaders once you show us your product is capable. You will indeed have a customer base that will buy everything you make.
I don't see why more companies won't start manufacturing primers, I know it's dangerous, but everyone you make is all ready sold.
i'll line up for the primers once they hit the shelf. i'm tired of seeing purchase limits of 200 or 300 per day at prices of what 1000 cost.
in-stock reliability is another thing. never know if the LGS has them till you get there.
please bring the cost of primers back to reality.
@@burrco3086 I'd suspect that it's a combo of the materials being expensive, the buildings and infrastructure being substantial, the permitting for industrial levels of explosives, or chemicals that can be turned into explosives being nightmarish, and then having to compete with the big duopoly that MAC and some of the others have mentioned. I can easily see why it hasn't happened til AAC, and one other smaller primer company are spinning up now.
Would love to see them do 6.5 grendel. Fantastic cartridge that federal stopped supporting in order to pad their pockets by releasing the 6mm arc. Was the best ar15 cartridge when federal had good match ammo and wolf steel was cheap
I hope Grendel gets a re birth. It's come a long way in the past 7years. Russian ammo stopped and progress stopped. Hope psa can keep price down.
S/o to PSA. Knowing they have us little guys in mind before the military industrial complex is a game changer for me. I’m willing to pay a little more for that.
Very impressed with AAC 5.56 ammo. Love to see them do .308/ 7.62 NATO 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great to see an American 🇺🇸 business manufacturing American products 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
AAC shoots perfectly. After thousands of rounds, I don't think I've had a single bad round.
Is it better than Federal?
@@MrGene1976 Better than Winchester white box, for sure.
Bro who else is smiling really hard watching this! Good ammo low price 😎
So great to live in a free state where a company like Palmetto State Armory can grow & thrive. I have been a loyal customer now for several years and recently bought my first PSA manufactured firearm the Dagger Compact 9mm. I will be running nothing but their AAC 9mm ammo thru it now thanks to your great review and video ! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BOYS !
That AAC ammo is quality. It's my "range" and training ammo, but I've never had an issue. It's consistent and worth more than you'll pay for it!
Palmetto has quickly become one of my favorite companies. It's what they stand fori like a lot too. Arming all Americans possible at an affordable price for almost anyone. I don't sign up to emails but I made a mistake and did with PSA and now I get all these emails with great deals and as a prepped I cannot help but to take advantage of these great sales on a few things and definitely ammo is one of their big sellers for me. Now I know why they can, because they make it as well and maybe they're unloading some of their federal rounds to make more room for theirs as well 😂 but good sales on different kinds including their own
PSA has always been about the civilian consumer first and the LE/Military “whenever we satisfy the civilian consumer first” last mentality and it’s been a boon for them. A lot of military and LE people crap on PSA for that reason. PSA is about the civilian consumer and the military/LE people don’t like it. Good for PSA.
@@thatoldyankeesguy they make good guns for the prices and the ammo is good
@@thatoldyankeesguy ok fed.
Theres nothing wrong with the government having to wait in line behind us at the checkout brother 😂
@@thatoldyankeesguy you're one of the types op just mentioned. You're probably wearing brcc merch too
Thanks
Thanks for the information on AAC! I've bought their ammo in the past and have never been disappointed with it, but I didn't know their connection to PSA.
I bought.308,150 grain, soft-point with the intent of hunting with it. Very uniform rounds appearance wise. Super impressive!. Through the barrel and down range, no ftf and groupings were as good if not better than most hunting rounds I have tried. Equivalent to Speer gold dot shooting at paper. I’m sold!!! Appreciate the video.
Glad to see PSA producing quality ammo at a fair price. Enjoyed your video as well.
It will only get better. Like the hosts said, it will eventually persuade other companies to lower prices.
I admit I was in the "who the hell is AAC" camp. Will definitely try it and thanks for the video!
I'll try the 124g 9mm in early may . . .hope they succeed in the ammo venture , they rock everywhere else . . including lightning shipping /tracking
This is awesome!! I've been purchasing quite a lot of aac ammo lately, so far so good. Thanks guys for the video and thanks to PSA for the ammo. Pew pew
Myself and my buddy commissioned every case press they have in their building. Pretty cool to see them getting some recognition.
💯🤙
A company that's looking out for the American Citizen first is looking out for me, So I'm gonna buy their products first, I've seen the ammo but never tried it because I didn't know anything about it. Now that I know the back story I'm buying as much as I can afford. Thanks guys for this info and Thank you PSA.
Love to see it, will definitely be supporting them going forward
Thank you for putting this out. Awesome update!!! I'm drooling for 545 like I'm sure many others are.
PSA is very cool, glad they're going well.
If it’s made in America, I’ll definitely be buying.
I’ve shot over 1k rounds of AAC 124gr FMJ 9mm with only 1 failure I believe was mag induced. Great ammo, great price. Shoot it in competition. I plan on trying the 5.56 and 300 black next
I've been running their 124 9mm and I love it. Great to see this tour
I've been shooting a lot of the 124gr fmj and the 77gr 5.56 as well as the 75gr 5.56. All of them have been performing quite well. I've even taken the 77 out to 500m and got good hits.
@@beardly0121 I thought about getting some of the 77gr. What barrel length are you using? Any ammo related malfunctions with the 5.56?
@@Booseman51 no malfunctions and the barrel lengths I have used have been 20", 16", 14.5", and 11.5". Good performance out of all of them.
I've been purchasing AAC ammo recently and have been pleasantly surprised thus far. You can get 5.56 77gr OTM at $10.99 per 20rd box, 300blk 110gr V-MAX for $12.99 per box and much more.
Good to hear there could be another American besides Hornady making 5.45.
PSA is a model for American manufacturing and innovation. They piss me off sometimes with supply, probably more of a demand problem really, but a great success story.
That's great that they are willing to make 7.62x39. I would also like to see 6.5 Grendel if possible. IDK what kind of price PSA can have it at, but I would like it to see cheaper than the Hornaday.
They said at shot show 2023 steel 6.5 Grendel ammo is coming.
PSA is the absolute best! I buy everything I can from them! God bless them and their efforts! May they become the biggest name in the game for civilians in the world! May they stay true to that vision.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us, Brother 😉👊👍🇺🇸
I liked hearing that PSA is using updated technology and machines
Great news for you guys, Down here in AUS, we haven't had primers or powder for pistols on the shelves for over 3 years. Factory ammo is prohibitively expensive for most shooters here.
We really need to start making our own primers, ADI couldn’t give a shit about the local market.
@@johnryan1386 Couldn't agree more. Wonder if we could crowd source from all the shooters down here..lol
So AAC is PSA's ammo company? That's fucking awesome! I absolutely love PSA. They are one company that I WANT to give my money to
Right on!
AAC made it affordable to shoot my ruger american in 300 black out. I have no clue how anyone can afford to shoot 300 black out, out of an AR platform lol. but again AAC is awesome, cheap, accurate, and well made, that's all I ask as a consumer who works a regular job, and doesn't make over 6 figures.
Let’s all truly start supporting this endeavor.
I need to check out this ammo, keep hearing amazing things. 🇺🇸
I love PSA! Just today I ordered some 5.7 and the 77 grain 5.56. Thanks for your vids on this awesome company.
Great to see them getting ammo to the market. Hope to see primers to help out reloaders.
Yea, at less than 90/brick
The 77gr OTM rounds from them are good. Got .686 moa at 100 yards from my comp gun. For .55 cents a round, they're gonna make the other guys hurt.
That is all super exciting. I love PSA.
I will support any company that cares about civilians first, then government contracts. 1000 rounds at a time
Love what PSA is doing... Truely Making America Great Again!!!! Now if only we could really find a politician to do the same!
I find it funny that a few years back you would find more people running PSA into the dirt. MAC himself would have been one of those people. Now that they have a better reputation, and are making big moves and earning big money people have nothing but positive things to say about PSA. I was one of the ones defending PSA from the moment I became a consumer of theirs. To me they have always been a great company. I’m glad people are finally realizing this also. I feel my opinion is validated now. PSA has always had great products with extremely fair prices. Most feature rich rifles like theirs run at least $1500. When PSA will sell a similar product for $200 or $300 less.
Just bought my first 60 rounds from PSA, just some 55gr 5.56. I later went to a local gun store and saw their cheapest ammo was 2 dollars more a box (10 vs 12). I then realized that as long as you buy 5 or more boxes, it's cheaper to buy from PSA than from my local store. On top of that, I'm supporting a very strong advocate of the 2nd Amendment who even gives you the option to add money to your order to be donated to GOA.
Add in the fact that you can buy most of their stuff, even firearms, through Sezzle, which gives you the chance to split the order into four separate payments, and I know I'll be buying from PSA a LOT more. They are the Soviet Union of American firearms manufacturers. Producing simple, reliable, and affordable stuff to arm their side of the world.
AAC - Advanced Armament Corp is still going, now under the PSA parent corp. umbrella. They added the AAC ammo company.
I love my hometown company making big waves in this industry!
Gentlemen, thank you for the heads up.
Garand Thumb is always on top of announcing their sponsors, of whom AAC is one. But they didn't tell us that they're owned by PSA. Had I known that I would have looked them up sooner. Glad to see ammo made in America by Americans. I'm definitely going to give their ammo a try.
Thanks Mac & Jason for the outstanding review of AAC Ammo.....
Old Navy Flying Shoe🇺🇸
Love PSA! Veteran owned and America first! I'll be trying some of the 5.56mm 77 grain OTM's on hogs sooner rather than later. Keep up the good work!
So happy to see PSA getting the recognition they deserve, they're killing it. Can't wait until they get fully tooled up and we get that sweet ammo cheaper than it already is.. Curious question....the EOL check "by computer"- is that a vision system?
Still waiting on primers. Great news they’re building a primer manufacturing plant
Glad to hear they're making a 77gr load. I switched over to 77grTMKs(or SMKs) 5 or 6 years ago for all my "serious use" 5.56 ammo(meaning self/home defense, long range, etc.), starting off with Corbon MPR, and then switching over to Black Hills after Corbon stopped making MPR/went out of business.
I saw a video online of a guy getting velocities of 2700-2750 out of a 10.5" barreled AR with Black Hills 77gr. That video convinced me to switch my HD gun over to a 12.5" instead of the 16" I used to use(well that, and the fact I finally got my first 5.56 can(OSS 556K.))
One of my friends belongs to a shooting club that I used to go to, as it was literally 5 minutes from the houses we grew up in, and they got a chrono. Again, with a 12.5" AR, .223 wylde chamber, I was consistently getting about 2750-2760. I was quite surprised. I really wish I had brought my 16 and 18 inch guns to see how high those numbers could go.
Sorry, I'm ranting. Anyways, finding a good practice/training load is difficult, as there are plenty of "cheap" 77gr loadings(such as the IMI "Razorcore"), but the external ballistics are surprisingly different. I wouldn't be surprised if they were a good 350ft/s lower, and the accuracy also isn't up to Black Hills standards(which isn't surprising, and isn't as big a deal, and if anything makes you step your game up.)
Hopefully the 77gr PSA load will be a good replacement.
**edit**
Okay, so I think I'm a dumbass. For some reason I assumed the 77gr load you were talking about was a range/practice/plinking load, but it seams clear to me now that it appears to be more of a match grade load. Is that correct?
Also, anyone out there know any relatively cheap 77gr loading that are a close match to the Black Hills TMK/SMK?
I've been buying their ammo for a long time. Total quality control, and no government meddling.
Since I started shooting 300 blackout, PSA is the only place I've been buying ammo from, their AAC and ammo inc brands have worked well for me, although I haven't shot anything with it yet besides targets, but they seem to function well, no duds yet, their 300bo ammo seems very clean.
Just FYI, Ammo Inc. is not part of Palmetto State Armory. They are a separate company completely.
So far my experience with their proprietary 77gr load has been less than stellar. Dented case bodies, 30+ SD 100+ES. I'm documenting every round I fire, and maybe the first couple boxes I've gone through are just unlucky. Appreciate that the cost is low, hoping it can accomplish better numbers at the muzzle and downrange.
I’m glad to see what they’re doing. I selfishly just want more 5.45.
When I first started seeing aac, I thought back to the psa video u guys did amd said here it is. Recently got some of this and it looks good. Shoots good. I’ve only shot ball 556. I got it a few weeks back and I’d definitely buy more when I need to. I can already see the deals on rifles with a case of ammo included. I waited on an ak from psa until some of the growing pains are worked. Reviews lately have been good. I’m just gonnA beat it anyway lol
Very impressive 👏. Well done PSA, well done!
Very good quality ammo. Hate it for the competition…love it for the people 💯🎯🇺🇸
Nice to see more US companies stepping up for the domestic 7.62x39 demand.
PSA makes something for everyone! I like the AAC 77 grain otm, my MK12 likes it too! It also shoots great from my 14.5 SOCOM rifles! I would like to see some steel case 223 with a copper coated bullet, something a little cheaper to plink and train with.
I don't care what the snobby shooters say, but PSA has stepped up the last couple years.
Awesome video and tour. Thank goodness for PSA/AAC.
I have 3 PSA rifles. Well the 6.8 is an RRA upper on a PSA lower. Now I'm buying their ammo. 9mm FMJ and hollow point, along with the 77gr match. I'd buy their 75gr stuff, but I already have a ton of the Frontier 75gr type 2.
I look forward to buying AAC 7.62x39 and not having a finite supply. And hoping some 5.56 goes down in price by virtue of more on the market. I’m rooting for you, PSA.
I’m also really tempted by a Sabre but I’m waiting for longer term reviews to see if they are built as well as competitors or if it’s the same as the cheaper rifles QC
Great video. I love when you do stuff like this.
Ive purchased lots of AAC ammo from PSA lately. I do like the price point but the ammo is super inconsistent. I have had lots of failure to feeds with the 9mm in certain boxes while other boxes run perfectly. After further looking into it the case rim and setback tolerances are all over the place. The case rim on certain cases where the bullet is seated has a super sharp edge on it which causes it to hang up in certain batches.
