Is this ammo any reliable or any good. It seems good when it comes to specs but wanted to hear your view on it.

I've always liked MagTech, up to & including .454 Casull; but lately there've been reports of problems with it from some people. Don't know if it's a real problem or not, but it would be worth looking into.

I've bought and shot a fair amount of it lately and have had no problems in either 9mm or .45 acp.

might not be very helpful but shot a box or so of nickel plated SJTC in .357 mag, ammo was good. it's quality brazilian factory ammo, will do its job i'm sure.

In my experience it's good. I've shot a good bit of Magtech .45acp and I like Magtech components for reloading, .45acp, 9mm, .380acp (same as 9, really).
I like Magtech because my pistols like it.

9mm worked flawless for me. zero malfunctions.

I have had good luck with it in 9mm and 308. It is good to go.

i just can speak from Europe (Austria+Germany): in a german forum there have also been some discussion about failing primers. including my experience. most guys say, especially the new packaged ones are affected, my 6 or 7 failed primers (out of 500) were the old ("older") ones. but the packaging doesn't say anything about a change in production.
magtech here in europe had always a good reputation for high quality handgun ammo.
