    PMP is getting quite liked in the states and they also see it as cheap ammo, not sure how this will be for Europe though

    This is true however its about the same price as anything that's imported at the moment Ie: Hull, Fiochi or Clever Cartridges.

    Yeah, but superior quality (they say... and are branded Cheddite to prove it) and guaranteed always available.

    Agree on availability...
    I have actually tried out some of their 24 & 28 gram cartridges and they are comparable with the imported stuff. I have no issue with quality just cost hoping they might come in a little cheaper than the imported stuff

    Yeah, I also enquired about the price. The problem is that EVERYTHING is imported... shot, powder, the lot!

    Their 32gm loads seem to recoil less than GB 28gms.

    Some questions.
    - Is Nobleteq rifle ammo (308 in this case) steel or brass cased as they are going quite cheap atm?
    - Would you use it in your SLR?
    - Are they berdan or boxer primed?

    Cheap ammo is cheap right up until it isn't.

    Yeah this will be purely for plinking purposes, not hunting or the like.

    Trying to decide whether to buy the cheap surplus/reloads which can only be used once, or just buy the cheapest 308 ammo I can find (seems to be PMP and Nobleteq if they use brass and not steel) and then just reload myself using those cases. Because 308 brass is not cheap!

    Unless it's S&B ammo, then it's actually decent

    Yeah looking at the S&B ammo as it's not too badly priced if you want to pick up a bunch.
