NovX Ammo - what say you?

[ATCclears]

I noticed their ad and website in the January edition of American Rifleman. This is for their 9mm Luger +P ARX ammunition.

Anyone have any insights?

I have a huge problem with this ad. This company needs a quick lesson in the PR and legislative hit the industry (and we gun owners) took with the Black Talon rounds.

I'm dissapointed the NRA ran this. Perhaps they need their memory refreshed as well?

I've heard some weird things about those/the bi-metallic, two-piece cases.. maybe because they set up an electrogalvanic situation leading to their failure?
too early to really bet my life on those type of cases

@DLS did you see the other odd, unrelated advertisement in the January edition?
"For those that drink their own urine"...

As long as it's not zombie themed, I think I'm ok with it

I knew there was a reason I don't have a kel tec

So you mean this whole time.... The 9mm really didnt have any "stopping power"

I just read their ad and immediately saw some discrepancies. In their writing they claim 1710 fps and 422 ft/lbs of energy, then they have a pic of and actual box of it and it states 1655 and 395 respectively. If I read this correctly, we have been ignorantly using the wrong ammo all along, LOL. I'll pass on this gimmick.

I have no experience with Novxammo, but I did see both adds that have been mentioned. I own a Sub2000. That Keltec add would in no ways spark my interest in their firearms.

No kidding, I'll stick with Underwood's 115 going 1550 thank you very much.

Not wanting to derail this thread but, who sells Underwood's? I've been reloading so long it's been a while since I've bought any.

Looks like regular Inceptor bullets; there have been lots of reviews of those if you want a comparison. If they can get their price point down, I think they'd be a good solution for lead-free ranges.

Not sure about the steel/aluminum cases, though... You shouldn't have any problems with galvanic corrosion as long as they're kept dry, so they might not be so reliable for long-term carry. Are they two separate pieces pressed together somehow? They're definitely not for reloading.

Those new cases are the newest and best thing for reloading ever!!!!! The are magnetic so you can pick them off the ground easy. And with their new dies you can reload the same case over 100 times with no expansion of the case. It will replace brass in the near future.
