Nobleteq 40 SW ammo for Glock 23?
Hi Guys,
new to he forum, would like your input on Nobleteq's 40 SW? i had massive problems with NGA's ammo as no consistency in their reloads, bullet seating totally out, they actually jam in the magazine after the 3rd round
point is i will within the next month get onto the reloading stage for my glock but need something to put through my glock in the meantime. advice on what can be used in the meantime is much appreciated
dont want to use up my carry ammo / hollowpoints
thanks

They perform about the same as the NGAs. QC is spotty.
Start reloading.Cattle die, kindred die, every man is mortal:
But I know one thing that never dies,
the glory of the great dead.

Re: Nobleteq 40 SW ammo for Glock 23?
Hmmm, I also have a 23 and have used 1000s of rounds of NGA with only 1 bad round, (not good). I agree that there is inconsitency, with some being HOT and some being mild. Never had problems with feeding or fitting in the mags. I have 5 new +1 mags, 1 older +1 mag and a new and old standard mag and they cycle all ammo just as easily Tried a few nobleteq and they were wildly variable. Maybe just the box I had, but didnt like it. You can get some magtech factory ball ammo that is only marginally more expensive than NGA/ nobletech and this may help to build up decent quality brass for reloading.

I have had the same seating problems with NGA which Flora guns swopped for me without hassle.
I have used about 25 boxes of Nobleteq bought from Camdix with no hassles

Re: Nobleteq 40 SW ammo for Glock 23?
The latest batch of 9mmP NGA RSA (supposedly somewhat better than their standard stuff) ammo I bought was HORRIFIC!
It turned out to be Berdan-primed ex-military ammo produced in the 70's. About 1 in 15 misfired and there were signs of dangerous case pressure in many of the others that did. This might have been caused by the primer compound crumbling during the tumbling process and migrating into the propellant, resulting in the misfires where no primer was left) and the excessive case-pressure due to the propellant detonating instead of burning because of being mixed with primer compound.

Re: Nobleteq 40 SW ammo for Glock 23?
Ive used the NGA RSA stuff as well. I was told it was produced from once fired cases. Dont know about that but I had signs of exessive pressure(cases bulged badly at the rim) as well. No other ammo ive used did this including hot JHPs. BTW, this was in 9mmP

Re: Nobleteq 40 SW ammo for Glock 23?
Go through about 1000 40 S&W in 3 months from NGA.
Up till now have had no problems with them.
Have had a couple of split cases,check when you load them into the mag.
Got a 1000 on the way now.
Will check them out and see how they operate.
My Glock 22 has no problem with them.( So far )
