magtech? any one used it before?

[speedyquad]

i picked up a 50 rd box of magtech 40 S&W(180 gr., fmc-flat) yesterday for $19.99.

has anyone used it before? I had never heard of this company, but since they were brass casing for the same price as blazer aluminum casing, thought i would give them a try.

anything i should worry about in my M&P 40C?

thanks...

I have used Magtech fmj ammo before but not in .40 seems to work fine.

sounds positive so far...thanks

Magtech is the trademark for ammo produced by a very large Brazilian manufacturer. I have used their primers and have shot some of their ammo. No issues with either one.

When I purchased an SD40VE a few months ago MagTech was the only ammo available at my LGS. Shot several hundred rounds of it. Later purchased a Shield 40. and it ate it fine too. It's Good range ammo.

I've used MagTech in 9mm without any issues.

 

[ostlund]

I shoot Magtech in 38 special and .45 acp. Never a problem, I like it and buy it.

I've shot Magtech in 9mm and .44 Magnum... same as others, no problems.. maybe a trifle bit dirtier, but that seems to be the trend with other ammo too.

I don't remember where it was that I read it, but it was mentioned that Magtech is also a supplier/maker for ammo sold by other known name brands as their "practice/target/valueline/generic" line of ammo.

No problems with Magtech in .380 acp, 9mm, 40S&W, and .45 acp. It is good range ammo and can usually be found at the lower price point.

I've used it before in my FS40, about 100 rounds if I can remember correctly. I can't remember what I paid but I think it was more than what you paid for it.

Purchased from LGS, the bottom line was it had no issues. The LGS also had good feedback when I asked about it's quality.

I would buy it again if needed.

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

I haven't shot it in 40, but have in several other calibers. They have a 230 grain 44 magnum load that is more accurate in my Marlin rifle than anything else I've been able to buy or load.
Their brass is top shelf too. I wish you could buy component brass from them. I believe it is headstamped "CBC".

ive shot magtech in 9mm, 45acp, 5.56, and 7.62x51. no probs with any of it...

 

[ImprovedModel56Fan]

Mostly .45ACP, perhaps better than Lawman HB. I think that I've also used .38 Spl and maybe .44 Mag. LGS sells it when he gets it, and pretty sure he's never had a problem reported. His gunsmith (and mine) recommends it.

 

[bdsorcic]

Just my option, I usually buy that brand! both in 9mm and 45 acp, never had any feed or misfire problems.

 

[Vulcan Bob]

Good ammo and for reloading good brass.

 

[Prodigal Son]

I've shot several hundred rounds of magtech in my M&P40 with no problems.

 

[Fat B]

I did some training with my brother and father and all 3 of us had magtech ammo. 750 rounds each later and none of us had any problems at all. I'd buy it again.

 

[speedyquad]

thanks all for the positives..i hope to send all 50 down range this weekend

Magtech 230 gr hollow point is always loaded in my 1911. I've shot a lot of it, it feeds every time and shoots where I point. I trust it with my life...
