magtech? any one used it before?

[alwslate]

I have some of their 9mm 115 gr FMJ. Underloaded like other cheap
brands of 9mm. Only chronographs around 1050 fps. It will not even
cycle the action of some of my guns.

Has anyone tried or seen a test of their solid copper hollow points?

 

[Buttercup]

I use Magtech all the time in all my guns including my little CS9 and I have never had a failure of any kind. I find it to be pretty clean and accurate. I have shot it in 9, 40, 45, 38, 357 and 44.

 

[joestacey06]

I've shot it in 9mm and .380. No problems.

Same here. Also shot some of their hollow points. No issues with those either.

Good cheap ammo I like Magtech just as much as Blazer Brass good range ammo.

What are good numbers for 115 gr? 9 & .40 ??

Which ammo brands have tested positive for "ballistic integrity"

When it comes to auto pistol cartridges I guess I qualify as
a 9mm fan since I own fourteen 9mm autos, one 45 auto and
no 40 cals. I have chronographed lots of factory 9mm FMJ
ammo over the last several years and in my experience it
takes at least 1125 fps with 115 gr ammo for reliable function
in all guns. This is still mild performance 9mm ammo. Most all
chronographing has been done in my Browning HP and or my
Beretta 92 FS. Worst 115 gr has been Magtech, Wolf Copper,
PMP South African, Remington, Augila. Passible 115 gr has
been Russian TCW, S&B, CCI Blazer Aluminum, Federal AE.
Best 115 gr, 1170-1200 fps, has been surplus Danish, surplus
Finish marked Sako or Lapua, Hungarian MFS and other lots
of non corrosive surplus that came and went. Good 124 gr FMJ
1160-1200 fps has been older Geco, actual WCC Nato, FNM
Nato, Chinese marked China Sports, Norinco or Singapore.
Best 9mm ammo overall is made to European specs rather
than American.

I have used Magtech ammo of several calibers and have never been overly impressed. It's fine for punching holes in paper, but in my opinion that's about all it's good for. I currently have several boxes of .32 S&W Long, SJHP because it is available. It is made in Brazil.

X2 Not overly impressive, but ok plinking ammo at a decent price. I've found their 308/7.62 stuff to have issues in tight chambers. Their brass is ok to reload, rifle takes some more prep than mainstream American.

 

[speedyquad]

i finally had a chance to send some down range yesterday. i had the tightest groups that i have ever had with it...

 

[G-Mac]

I've shot Magtech .38 Special for plinking, target practice, etc.

It seems to work OK for these purposes.

 

[shawn mccarver]

I have used their ammo in 38 Special and .45 ACP for target practice. I am very satisfied.
