Anything wrong with 357 magnum Magtech ammo for target practice? It's factory loaded 158gr semi-jacketed soft point in nickel plated brass cases, these are the 250rd "shootin' size" pack. These are for sale on another site for $100 a box. Good buy or goodbye?

I've shot a bit of it with no problems. Seems like a decent price, I'd buy it.

Not sure about the .357, but I've had no issues with their .40S&W loads in the past. It's a known brand name, I'd go for it if that's a good price for .357.

 

[NathanXD]

Never tried it. Always wondered about it.

 

[Cuda66]

It works.

The brass is good for reloading.

 

[WoodBurner]

The price is good that's for sure, he was asking $110 and dropped it to $100, has 4 boxes.

I got some AE 158 gr JSP for 59 cents a round and Gold Dot 158gr JHP for 89 cents a round both good prices but the LGS had old stock from another guy that closed his business and the prices were really based upon the cost a couple or few years ago ie no mark up, so I bought some of each but that's all gone now. For 44 cents a round heck that's about as cheap as 45 ACP.

I thought Magtech was Brazilian and not so good? That's why I asked.

It's good for the money, Ive shot their 44mag ammo. After about 20-25rds im done lol.

 

[TSiWRX]

I haven't had a problem with it through my J-frame snubbie.

Shot 500 round of 230 grain .45 acp FMJ without a catch. Would purchase again.

It's Brazilian, yes...but I see no reason that indicates it is lower quality.

Most Springfield 1911's are BrazIlian...

 

[WoodBurner]

Thanks everyone. I wasn't sure the ammo was good or not. Kinda like the Tulammo, some really hate it, some say being steel it can wear the extractor, I used to shoot it but I don't buy it anymore.

The Magtech sounds like it's good quality and a good deal. Thanks again!

 

[DevJames]

I agree with all above. I've not had problems with the .45 or 9mm in the past

 

[jimdanos]

I shot 9mm, .38, .357. .40 and .45. All good and reloadable.

 

[Bopper]

I've shot and reloaded a ton of the mag tech 45 ammo and had great luck. I believe those cases were straight brass and if memory serves stamped GFL/Fiocchi.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy their ammo.

Magtech is quality ammo, though I haven't personally tried their .357.

Then what was Fiocchi stamped?

 

[40mpshield]

4boxes for 100 is no great deal imo. The magtech 357 my bud just bought at the range no less was 25 a box. 25-27 a box is normal for it around here.

I agree, when I 1st posted it sounded good but then I started to check prices. He never dropped the price so I'm not buying if he does maybe I'll buy depending on where it goes to.
