Has anybody used this ammo or know of anyone. I heard it is decent stuff, not the same quality as Winchester Ranger or Federal Tactical buckshot, of course. But I can get double the quantity for the same price a 25 of the premium rounds. I will end up buying all three but I wanted to see if anybody had comments on this ammo first before I buy it.
Nobel Sport 00 law enforcement buckshot made in Italy.

Last night I made a little ammo buy from Sportsman Guide because my free shipping coupon was about to expire. I got 200 Rounds for $32.97 per 100 (I guess they have gone up on it to $37.97 per 100 overnight). I figured that I would just keep it around for SHTF ammo. I am in the process of stocking up on various calibers and brands of ammo and I figured that I would pick some up. I would be interested in seeing if anyone has any experience with it.
I just noticed that AmmoToGo has it in #4 buckshot as well. If I like the 00 buck, I might pick up some #4.
Here’s the only link that I could find on this ammo:

thanks.
I'm going to buy a couple boxes and give it a try. I betting it is decent stuff for SHTF or practice. Keep the Federal and Ranger for the bad guys.
I bought a few boxes of Nobel 00 a few weeks ago to try in my Saiga 12. My gun doesn't like it too much, only puts a few pellets into a 9" paper plate from 15 yards...that's not to say your gun won't love it, every gun is different. For cheap buckshot, give Sellior & Bellot a try. Their 00 loads are 12 pellet, also sold 10/box. They're not the best in either my Saiga or my 870, but still do pretty good. Here's one from my Saiga, 15 yards.

thanks, i was going to pick some up tomm. now I might rethink that.
notch another up for GT with the outstanding forum.
I was going to use is as SHTF and practice with a Winchester 1300 and a Mossberg 500. so I bet the results would be very similar..
thanks again

I have tried it and found it to be excellent ammo. It patterns very well in my gun (better than the Winchester PLATED buckshot) and the pellets are VERY HARD even though they are not plated. Not to mention 12 pellets > 9.
