Thread: Belmont ammunition any good?

I was looking for cheaper 308 ammo and came across Belmont (Belmont Ammunition | Belmont Ammunition).
The price is cheaper compared to other ammos.

Have anyone tried these ammos?
Also are these cartridges reloadable?

Thanks

i have had a few different calibres of belmont and all were reloadable , and shot fine ....

Yep, no issues with the Belmont I've used.

yes it is,and they will taylor a load for your needs...eg 100 rounds speer 130grn HP is a favourite with west coast chopper shooters for good reason.

Might give it a go, doubt it's guna beat hornady superperformance though, 3 shots touching at 100m but I'd hope so at $3.50 a shot

You might be surprised.

Belmont's also NZ made, I try support local wherever possible.

I've used their 100 grain hollow points on fallow for 20 years- never lost an animal. They are accurate in my Winchester Featherweight, 30mm groups at 100m.

Ouch, my arsehole just clenched reading that (probably because I'm half Dutch, quarter Scottish). Do you have a mate who reloads who you can bribe to reload for you?

I reload myself, just don't like mates shooting my reloads so brought a box.

Who stocks it up here? Nearest place I've found is Fish City @ the Tron. Got a few fussy old rifles so don't want to bulk order till I've tried a box or two.

Part of me wants to get drunk but two parts of me don't want to pay for it

I asked a couple mates (one scottish and one dutch) what the difference was as they both didn't like paying for things. Before the dutch fellow could reply the scotty stated (in a thick scottish accent) "We errr thaa saaaame az theee durtch boot widoot thaaa dape porketts" (in english "We are the same as the dutch but without the deep pockets...")

Yeah the ammo is good. Im trying the powder at the mo.
Brass is head stamped NNY or PPU either way its PRVI Partisan brass. I didnt have any issues reloading it in 308..
Unfortunately they stopped doing .284 and 7mm RM so reloading using their powder.

They supply DOC and a lot of pest control blokes with .223 ammo as well as the NZDF ammo, I was blown away by how many rounds they do for NZDF.
