I was short on pistol ammo and went to my local dealer to see what he had to offer. Among the stuff I bought were Brazilian CBC Magtech 115gr JHP in 9x19. I was told that in recent test they showed to be pretty precise. At 170€/1000 they aren't much more expensive than normal FMJs.
So far I've been using Magtech 95gr JSP-flat for competions, but they proved to be unreliable in my Glock 17L, causing failures to feed due to the short OAL. For home defence I'm relying on Federal EFMJs, which are a bit pricey and which I therefore haven't tested as much as I'd like.
Now these (for me) new Magtech JHPs might double as a suitable ammo for both competition (allowing me to test it for precision and reliability) and HD. Magtech's homepage lists them as ammo for recreation and competition, but they are hollow points after all.
So my question is: Has anyone done any ballistic testing with that stuff? Gelatin or wet phonebooks?
Thank you!
