Magtec ammo

[Joseph Saunders]

Ah...is anyone having problems with Magtech ammo?

 

[mdThanatos]

Nope. It isn't the primary ammo I shoot but every round I have shot has been fine. What issues are you having?

 

[Joseph Saunders]

Thank you for reply. Not having any issues with the small amount I've fired. I've just read a number of bad reviews on other boards & thought I'd check it out here.

Magtech, Fiocchi, Sellier & Bellot, Aguila, Maxx Tech, etc are all foreign-manufacturers of lower-priced centerfire ammo that I’ve shot a ton of... with fewer issues than I’ve had with lower-priced American brands like Winchester USA white box and Remington-UMC.

Stay safe.

Good to go IMO

Totally agree with this ^^^^^^^^

Add IWI, and GECO...all good ammo!

What are they saying is the problem? Sometimes you'll get someone blaming inexpensive ammo for the shortcomings of an unreliable firearm.

Shoots good for me.

I bought some GECO .380 for the first time recently, I’ll be giving it a shot soon.

Stay safe.

I have only used it in 9mm, and I have not had any actual problems with it. But in my guns it doesn’t seem to be as accurate as some of other brands of cheap ammo.

I think its like so many things, YMMV.

Works fine for me

 

[PapaG]

I always said if Jerry Michulek uses it, it's good enough for me.

And Privi Partizan and PMC

OR the shortcomings of the shooter.

PMC (Korea) has the best performing inexpensive .45ACP ball ammo I've seen in quite awhile and the brass uses LPP

Several years ago I had several boxes of Magtech .357 and .38 sp ammo with which several rounds in each box had primers that did not ignite. I got the same result in several different revolvers. All of those revolvers worked perfectly with other ammo. I have not used Magtech since then, but maybe it is ok now.

There is a thread on AR15.com titled “High Round Count pistols (100,000+) observations” that was started by the owner of Battlefield Las Vegas, a high round count, theme based range in Las Vegas. They go through many many thousands of rounds of ammo every week. He says all ammo can have issues, but he mainly buys Magtec because they have integrity. According to the owner, during the ammo drought, Federal cancelled all their bought and paid for open orders, but offered to replace the orders with new orders at the new, higher costs. Magtec honored the open orders and delivered as promised.

In addition, Larry Vickers has been very positive on the MAN-Magtec-S&B corporate ammo lines. That means a lot to me.

Sad a Brazilian company (CBC) came through during the ammo crunch when an All-American company fumbled the football .

I also had orders cancelled back then, I never bought from those sellers again either.

CBC also owns the Czech made Sellier &Bellot...

Stay safe.
