    Belmont ammunition - worth a try?

    Not a strictly reloading post, but I'm currently using norma ammunition in my 7mm-08 to shoot take away latte cups.

    I've been looking at the belmont website and see they have SST loaded ammunition at $40 a packet.

    I like the norma, but its a bit on the pricey side when trying to get some practice in

    i prefer to use the same ammunition for all shooting, so my question is..... whats the belmont ammunition like?

    There was a large thread about Belmont ammunition earlier if you do a search for it on this website.

    The answer was a resounding yes, it is worth it.

    There was a much larger post about testing the 308 ammunition but I can’t find it

    I've used their .308 (100 gr. and 150 gr.) for 30 years- can't fault it.
