Jihawg Ammo says they say that they coat their bullets with a ballistic paint containing pork thus making them haraam (forbidden or unclean) for radical Islamists and thus if you hear the radical Islamist cry of Allahu Akbar they say: "It's Time to Put Some Ham in MoHAMed". They are touting it as a defensive and deterrent type of ammunition to be used to assure that jihadists will not attain the promised 76 virgins for acts of terror in the name of Allah. Somehow, I sort of, kind of, get the notion that this ammo will not be the end all be all to stop Islamic Jihadists from committing acts of terror but, if he was still alive, General Black Jack Pershing may have disagreed with me. Hey - you never know and at least any of them shot with it would not make it to their version of heaven.
I like the idea but would I buy it? Hell no - probably not, well - not more than a box or three as a novelty anyway;) As far as I am concerned it costs way too much per box to buy it regularly especially in light of the fact that it is all (at this moment) reloads. While I would not hesitate for a moment to put pork coated bullets through my guns, I do not shoot remanufactured ammo and I sure won't pay premium prices for it no matter how novel the product but then again many of you do shoot it and this may be just the stuff for you. While I may buy a box for the novelty factor I have to consider that I just bought 250 rounds of .45 ACP (.45 Auto), 185 grain, JHP, newly manufactured by a major ammunition company for only $23.27 per box of 50 rounds, I think I will save my money for more of the less expensive ammo and for bacon.
Getting back to Jihawg Ammo, their products and pricing can be found at this link: http://jihawg.com/ammunition. Note if you cannot get through, keep trying. Seems their site is pretty busy today, maybe last minute shoppers for Fathers' Day gifts or just shooters or collectors wanting to get some before it all sells out. Being it is so difficult to get through right now, I'll quote a few of their prices here for informational purposes:
.223 Rem 62gr FMJ-BT 20 Rounds of .223 Rem 62gr FMJ Once Fired Military Brass: $21.25
9mm 115gr TMJ Reman 50 Rounds of 9mm 115gr TMJ Remanufactured Brass: $24.75
.45 Auto 230gr TMJ Reman 50 Rounds of .45 ACP 230 gr TMJ Remanufactured Brass: $37.50
They also offer 5.56 (x45mm), .308 Winchester and .40 S&W.
Even if the Jihawg Ammo site is down or very slow, you can get a bit more information from an Ammoland piece about them here at this link:

Now, getting back to pork for a moment or three, since it is Fathers' Day and just after 1125 in the morning, I think that in a little while, I will go see if breakfast is ready (that may be a late breakfast to you and most folks and brunch to Yuppies but it's plain old on time breakfast for me). If it is ready, I think I'll continue my ammo inventory, bullet by bullet, as I eat my breakfast of a pound or two of very greasy bacon. I am not worried about getting lead poisoning because of eating bacon while counting the bullets, seems my hands are so coated by bacon grease that nothing can penetrate that film. As for my ammo though, it seems to be mighty slippery right now - at least the rounds I have already counted since I started the inventory. I imagine they will fly right through the bore liked bacon greased lightning when fired; my arteries though, they may be another story, I don't know if any thing is flying through them quite as fast with all that bacon grease buildup.
All the best,
Glenn B
