Thread: Nobelteq Ammo

  1. #1

    Default Nobelteq Ammo

    Who's had experience with Nobleteq ammunition? Any thoughts on how it would rate compared to NGA? Specifically in .40S&W.

    I have used Nobelteq .40S&W range ammo on a few occasions, no issues to report, fed fine, shot fine. Can't really comment on accuracy, but it did the job.
    The ammo I shot was all nickel plated brass (Federal/Speer), apparently only once fired (how the hell they knew this I don't know). Must say I'm skittish about using used nickel plated brass in my Glock, esp. Federal brass as there have been documented issues with Federal nickel plated brass.

    If its worse than NGA, it must be really pathetic! Never shot Nobleteq, but I won't put a .40 NGA round through my gun. 9mm maybe, but damn sure not 40. I've found cracked cases that were reloaded, dead primers inside loaded cartridges (I pulled a couple once) and they vary in load quite substantially.

    NGA's quality control went from so-so to bad over the last five years or so. One of the gunshops that I frequent told me they took in four pistols in a week, all popped with NGA stuff. I have no details on what caliber pistols they were, but it seems NGA either got their powder mixed up a bit or double charging was the word of the day that day.

    Be careful with 40/45 reloads. 9mm can't really be overcharged when using MP200, but 40...a different beast.

    The 9mmP was "very good" in my G17 (0 problems +- 500 rounds fired) up until they recently switched to another type of bullet and started using less/another type of powder. Now it does not function well at all in my gun and I started reloading.
