I might have found some and I wondering is it good ammo, compared to Remington UMC or WWB I can get it for 9.50 a box of fifty is that a good price?looking to shoot it out of my glock 17 and stock up if possible
 
The Mag Tech FMJ that I have used was the equal of WWB or UMC. The Mag Tech +P+ is a very hot animal that I will only shoot in my Bushmaster rifle. In my area you can get WWB at Wal-Mart for $16 per 100. I also think you could beat that Mag Tech price at Georgia Arms.
 
I have been using their .308 win for a long time, and used their .357 magnum.
They really produce accurate, clean, reliable and affordable ammunition.
 
I shot 100 rounds of MagTech .38 spl out of my S&W 640, and it was very easy cleaning after.

50 rounds of Remington UMC and it took a lot more elbow grease to clean.

I think I'll stick with MagTech.
 
MagTech is fine ammo. I've shoot many rounds of .45 and 9mm before I started reloading. Pretty good stuff.
 
Anecdote: I asked my sister, a burgeoning shooter, to buy some .357 Magnum ammunition for a range session we scheduled. I thought she was getting WWB or something.

Oh, no. She got Magtech. I knew what we were getting into, she didn't.

The flame shot out about a foot and a half from my 2 1/4" Ruger SP101. I was OK with it, but I was suspicious of how she would handle it. Imagine my surprise when she loved shooting it. She did a whole box by herself, and this with a SIG P239 and a Glock 22 and 27 as alternatives.

Yes, it hits like a champ out of a snub-nosed revolver. But man, is it fun. Both myself and my sister agree. Too bad it's so expensive ($24 a box, which was the cheapest there was around here (Central PA)).
 
At my range, I've seen thousands of rounds of MagTech ammo fired in a number of popular calibers---.22LR, .380, .38 Sp, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP and .357 Magnum. There have been no problems with it thus far. I personally don't use MagTech, so I'm not a fanboy trying to puff it up.

I've also heard nothing negative about MagTech from the regulars at my range. To my knowledge, it's a good value for the money. Made in Brazil.
 
Brazil, eh? Between this stuff and the more recent stuff from Taurus, it would appear that they know what they are doing. I would say "like those Czechs," but my understanding is that Czech ammunition, or at least Sellier & Bellot, has brittle brass inasmuch as it needs to be tempered(?) so that it doesn't crack while reforming.

Annealed! Not tempered. Man, that would have bugged me all day.

I shoot MagTech out of my Ortgies .32 auto. Good stuff.

I need more coffee...I read "I shoot MagTech at my Orgies. Good stuff.":what:


Magtech 124gr fmj works fine in my G17. I'll be trying the 147gr jhp next. Not at my orgies but other places.:D
 
I have to agree with the other posters. MagTech is consistent, accurate and reliable. I'd say it is a definite step up from UMC and WWB. $9.50 is a great price too.
