Thread: Belmont ammo

Hi Guys

Well im happy with where my rifle is at the moment and how its shooting (7m08 T3), i just need to get out and use it more often. I've only shot remington 140gr core-lokt through it and it seems to be consistent. I'm coming towards the end of my last box i purchased. Now the price tag on them is approx $45-$50 a box.

Being we're in the middle of this covid crap, we need to help out local suppliers and buy locally etc. Retail stores obviously need help also, but i thought supporting a manufacturer would be more beneficial than a retailer.
I wanted to know whether any of you have shot the Belmont ammo at all? Is it consistent?

Belmont produce 2 x 7m08 rounds
1.
OFC ADI Brass with 139gr Hornady Interlock BTSP (Boat Tail Soft Point) Projectile
BC: .453 (G1)
Powder: 763
Cost: $40 box

2.
OFC ADI Brass with 139gr SST Hornady projectile
Cost: $46 box

I dont know anything about reloading; powders, projectiles, primers... etc. Hopefully Belmont would have data on their ammo? or done some testing at least?
My basic ammo brain looks at it and see's $46 this projectile compared to a factory hornady ammo for a price difference of nearly $30 cheaper and supporting locally, Win, Win in my brain.

Any advice on Belmont Ammo would be much appreciated, I still know i can fall back on the old faithful core-lokt's.
