I've loaded Magtech in 38, 357 and 45acp(lots). It's good stuff.

I can do nothing by sing in the chorus. Have found it high quality and equal to any out there. I like Magtech ammo in general. In my opinion, it's about as good as any major US maker, and better than most imported European and other source ammo.

I had one factory fresh box that split about 2/3 of the cases on first firing. That box went in the scrap bucket. I also have a number of cases in my inventory that I've reloaded many times without issue. I'd say that one box was an aberration.

I've shot lots of Magtech ammo and reloaded the brass without any problems whatsoever. It holds up well. I would suggest that everyone stay away from AMERC brass, especially in .45ACP. The case walls are too thick, when the bullet is seated and crimped, they won't chamber. Also, I recently shot the AMERC ammo in .45ACP, the bullet cladding separated from the bullets and caused all kinds of target problems as well. So, lesson learned, I will never use that stuff again. It is too costly.

Magtec is the range brass where I go to. If I just pick up brass, 4 out of 5 pieces will be magtec.

It seems fine. I use a lot of it because it is free. There is so much of it at the range it is hard not to end up with some when you police up your brass.


10mm and 357sig, the best things since the 38 Super!
