    Default Magtech ammo

    I shot 12 rounds of magtech 357 mag out of my ruger vaquero.
    this is also the very first time I shot it. Gun is new.The casings were very hard to come out.I have not tried any other brand yet.
    Somebody on the Sig forum was complaining about the same thing using magtech 357 mag ammo. The guys over there were telling him to clean his gun real good. But it was also a new gun.
    Has anybody come across this.Or have any suggestions

    Magtech is good plinking ammo in other calibers. Not sure why this one caliber should be difficult.

    I've never shot .357 magtech, but like dgg9 I've shot lots of .45 and 9mm magtech without any problems.

    Magtech is some dirty ammo. We used to sell it at the gun shop I worked at...I had debris hit me in the eye when I shot Magtech...for the money I'd go CCI blazer brass.

    I have used in various calibers for plinking (cuz it was cheap), have never had issues. Bad batch perhaps? Maybe you put them in backwards Aub?

    Or perhaps the powder that Magtech uses is just really bad...I believe Magtech is made in Brazil. For the same money or less...I prefer CCI blazer brass...I believe Wolf's carries CCI ammo...LOL

    I've never shot it but I've heard that it's filthy.
