What the steel case in Magtech 9mm 115gr FMJ Steel Case changes

The case is the whole trade. Magtech 9mm 115gr FMJ Steel Case swaps brass for coated steel, which cuts material cost substantially and passes that saving to you. What you give up is reloadability, since steel does not survive resizing, and a small amount of extraction smoothness in a dirty chamber.

Reliability in a clean gun is not the issue people expect it to be. CBC has been building this ammunition for decades and it runs. Keep the chamber reasonably clean and a modern 9mm will digest it as happily as brass.

Ballistics are ordinary in the best sense. Roughly 1,135 feet per second from a 4 inch barrel with the standard 115 grain bullet, non corrosive boxer primers, and a copper jacketed lead core bullet that feeds from any magazine cut for 9mm Luger.

Buying Magtech 9mm 115gr FMJ Steel Case in quantity

The 1000 round case is where the value lands. Magtech 9mm 115gr FMJ Steel Case is bulk practice ammunition and the economics only make sense at volume. If you are shooting a few boxes a year, brass is worth the small premium. If you are shooting weekly, this is the difference between practising and rationing.

It suits pistol caliber carbines as well as handguns. The 115 grain load picks up useful velocity from a 16 inch barrel, and PCCs are exactly the kind of gun that eats ammunition faster than the budget allows.

Honest notes before you buy

Range rules first. Many indoor ranges and most ranges that reclaim brass prohibit steel cases, because steel contaminates the scrap stream and is worth nothing to them. A thousand rounds you cannot shoot locally is a false economy, so call ahead.

Brass collectors should know it is magnetic and separates instantly with a magnet, which makes sorting easy if you shoot alongside brass.

This is the important caveat. Magtech 9mm 115gr FMJ Steel Case is training ammunition and nothing more. A full metal jacket bullet does not expand, which means severe overpenetration and poor energy transfer. Never carry it for defense. Buy a proper expanding defensive load for that and use this to build the skill that actually matters.

Steel cased ammunition stores well provided it stays dry, since the coating resists corrosion but is not armour. Keep it sealed, off concrete, and out of a hot vehicle and it will last many years.

The bottom line

Extraction in very dirty guns is the one real caveat. Steel does not obturate and seal quite like brass, so carbon builds in the chamber a little faster. A chamber brush every few hundred rounds solves it entirely. You can read more about the bullet design at swiftbullets.com, or browse the rest of our stock on the MAG5 Firearms ammunition page.
