I can't speak for them first-hand, but lot of people use them and only a few problems reported, I would venture to say probably an equal amount of problems that I hear from a new manufacture munitions company.
that said, I will have to do a shameless plug here. I live local to n outfit called GA Arms, have been going to them since I started loading because they sell cast bullets(projectiles only) for super cheap, like 28-33$ per 500. A short time after that, I began working with one of their part-time employees at my office nd got to see how they do things up there. great operation, very clean and attentive, family oriented staff that are super nice people and the prices can be amazing at times. even though I load my own, I still shop there because they have not gouged their powder prices one bit on the last 5 years.........primers not so much. I have shot lots of their loaded ammunition and all the pistol ammo is loaded extremely well and you'll be hard-pressed to tel it from factory. I am sure freedom munitions is the same way, I just don't live by them. I know the OP would appreciate their 38 "cowboy" loads for his wife and they also have plenty of premium 38 +P as well, loaded with Gold-Dots and whatever else you fancy. most everyone around here shoots GA Arms ammo and nobody complains. I had one issue way back, some .223 V-Max did not have enough neck tension and was able to set the bullet back, they gladly replaced it, but pistol ammo I don't see ever having a concern with.
I don't have to mail order, so I don't know how the prices compete with Freedom in that department, but you should check them out and compare.

note that their ammo loaded with "new" brass is only a couple bucks more than "re-man"

it shows that they are sold out of a lot of stuff, especially in 38spl, but i'll bet a phone call would clarify things a bit.
lots of 357 available

as soon as I get a box of brass from the brown truck though, i'll re-man all the 357 one man could need.
