So I went to Cabellas looking for some 9X19 mm NATO ball for the M92FS.  All they had left was this Magtech brand 115gr FMJ stuff at just under $14.00 / box.  Anybody use it?  Anybody heard anything bad about it?  I really prefer Winchester ball ammo due to good QC, but I can only shoot it if I can find it (All three Wal Marts in town are completely out).  Until then, I'll use what I can get.

Any comments?

Good stuff, hotter than normal range ammo too!

I shot it in .30 carbine and had no problems.

Interesting.  I'll have to compare the ballistic data with the Winchester and CCI products-thanks for the heads up.

I'll have to look at their product line.  I never even heard of them until yesterday.  The ammo looks good visually (not that it means anything other than it's probably good quality), so I'll see how it goes-thanks for the reply.

I've shot Magtech 9mm and .45 acp. It's not bad range ammo.

I have shot Magtech in 9mm and .380. I like it; good stuff.

I've shot up plenty of .45 with zero issues.

I've shot their .44 Magnum in my Ruger, it puts out a huge fireball.  I'll stick to my handloads.

I ran a few boxes of their guardian gold series, a 115gr +p JHP, and it was one of the most accurate loads out of my main XD-9.

Sorry, thats all the experience I have with magtech, but I would buy any of their ammo again.
