Non CAS inquiry

[Capt. James H. Callahan]

Hello all,

Just saw a pretty decent price for this stuff, and seeing as how .308 ammo is all but non-existent right now, I'm thinking of jumping on some. I've read reviews online and as usual they're worthless. Jim Bob says it's great and Billy Ray says it's terrible (you've probably seen such).

 

Just curious if anyone has used this stuff. It's REALLY cheap for Boxer primed brass cases.

 

Much obliged,

JHC

If it's cheep enough go ahead and buy it. If you don't like the way it shoots, store it a while and re-sell it. It don't eat an the gobermnt don't tax you for having it (yet)!

Probably depends on what you want to do. Blasting ammo or bench rest ammo?

Plinking/stash ammo. Not expecting match grade accuracy, but don't want to buy junk either if I can help it.

 

Thanks again,

IF, it's brass cased it's not bad blast'n ammo. Very 'dirty', BTW.

I am in the "Billy Ray" camp.... I think that the stuff is just $#!t. I still have about 10 boxes of the ammo. I get anywhere from 2-5 rounds in each box that fail to fire.... no matter how hard I hit the primers. I have had the same problem with their primers too. I would buy the brass, primers, bullets and powder and load my own.

Thanks. I seem to recall Magtech brass getting alot of bad reviews from time to time here on the wire. It's pretty much a moot point anyway. I called the company after I posted this and it's backordered until July. Like you said, probably better off to buy components and load my own. Problem is I'm lazy.

I have shot up quite a bit of their .357 ammo and found it to be very good. I wouldn't hesitate to buy more.
