A relatively new (and foreign) name to the U.S. civilian ammo market, Belom is catching more eyeballs as a cost-effective option for training. To see if the brass-cased loads are worthy of your investment, we recently took a few hundred rounds to the range as part of this\u00a0Belom ammo review.<\/span><\/p>\n

Belom Ammo’s Intro to the American Market<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Great Ammo Shortage of 2020 has left lingering effects on die-hard shooters. A craptastic cocktail of raw material shortages, pandemic supply chain issues, an influx of new gun owners, a Remington bankruptcy, and foreign ammo import restrictions have had long-lasting effects on our ammo options.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although we are well into 2022, we\u2019re still feeling the sting. High prices and empty store shelves have left us rationing ammo and praying for relief.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prior to these trying times, many of us were adamant about only feeding our carry weapons a particular brand of ammo. However, desperate times call for desperate measures, and these are indeed desperate times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re more likely to find hen’s teeth than your go-to practice load, it’s time to get creative and make some compromises. That sometimes means reaching for an ammo brand you\u2019ve never tried before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Who is Belom?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Belom<\/span><\/a> is a small arms ammunition factory that operates out of Serbia and is partially owned by the Serbian government. Founded in December 2015, Belom is the sister company of PPU (also known as Prvi Partizan).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While Prvi Partizan is dedicated to producing ammo for the civilian market, Belom focuses on serving military and law enforcement ammo needs. The company\u2019s quality systems, testing, machinery, manufacturing processes, and raw materials meet or exceed military standards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
