    Question Anyone use Magtech (CBC) from Brazil?

    I was looking at some foreign suppliers and one online store has a lot of this ammo in stock. It seems to be upper end ammo with solid copper bullets. Does anyone know the quality of their products?

    I have seen some people say it's crap, but so far I have shot some of their 7.62 NATO with no problems. I also bought some 9mm of theirs but have not shot it yet.

    Well if you do and you remember this post, I'd be really happy to know how the 9mm is. Did you get the "clean loads" (range ammo) or the personal defense line (HP's)?

    I have used their 9mm, 44 mag and 45 colt, plus their components as well. No problems and clean. Dave_n

    Never had any problems with Magtech in 9mm, 40, or 45acp. Shoots pretty clean. Prior to learning how to reload, it's pretty much what I bought exclusively. Before the ammunition market went haywire, it was a good value. I haven't seen it around too much lately.
    I learned a long time ago that reality was much weirder than anyone's imagination.--HST

    What I have is 115g FMJ. I only have 2 boxes so usually I like to run a couple hundred rounds through and see how it goes. I might shoot some tomorrow.

    I have used their component bullets (semi-jacketed SWC in .357mag) with no complaints. In fact, they shot quite well.

    Have also used the factory ammo in .44mag. No complaints either.

    I've used 9MM, .45 ACP and .380 without trouble. It shot clean and never gave me trouble.
