Magtech steel cased 9mm

[georgeib]

I bought a case to try out a few month ago. Didn't get around to shooting any until a couple weeks ago. I had a 2 or 3 failures to extract in 50 rounds or so through my Macro. Will need to try through some other pistols to see if it consistently does this, or just doesn't like the p365.

were the casings stuck, or just not enough juice to cycle?

Runs fine in my Staccato CS, in my 43x with PMM comp I get the occasional stuck case FTE.

Felt like like the casings were stuck. The rounds didn't feel weak at all. I've read accounts of P365s being a bit picky with ammo, so I'm chalking it up to that until I try it in some different pistols.

I will add that my P365s have been fine with everything else I've put through them. Including CCI aluminum cased stuff, but I've yet to shoot any steel cased through any of them. Have a case of Wolf laying around that I'll try.

ETA: I was able to remove the casings simply by dropping the slide, having the extractor re-engage the rim and then wracking the slide. No drama.

Today I put 100rds through my Rock Island Armory MAP1 MS (clone of a Tanfoglio clone of a CZ75). It ran 100% and accuracy was very good.

I own a BUL Armory Cherokee Compact, a CZ-75 clone as well. Maybe it would run well in that gun too, as it did in yours?

I would think that it would run well in the Cherokee Compact. In fact, I haven't found a gun that won't run it yet. Today I put 100rds through my Girsan MC18 (S&W 59 clone). It ran 100% without any issues.

Thanks for the heads up.

I’ve been shooting it a bit this week through a G19 with PMM comp and barrel. No stoppages so far, but I’ve only shot a couple hundo. I noticed that it’s fairly sparky, but otherwise seems fine for blasting ammo. I should have picked up more while my LGS was trying to get rid of it.

How dirty was the ammo? I would think there would be less stuck cases since the cases look well polished compared to other steel,aluminium or zinc plated stuff Ive shot.

You didn't ask me, but I didn't notice the ammo to be particularly dirty in the mere 50 rounds I shot. Certainly not when compared to the WWB that I've been shooting for the past couple years, trying to burn through what I bought at the beginning of Covid due to availability.
