    I had a quick look around and found it for $1-1.50 < than brass. That's not enough to get my interest.

    Fed neighbor is a Glock guy, so I can ask him to come out and play.

    I have max cartridge gage so I can check rounds in addition to "plunk" test.

    Hk - P2000 and Sk, P30, USP9c
    Factory - 10, 13, 15.
    With Solum Tool +5, I could only add 4.
    All held stated amount, but not when using the Magtech.
    I should take my guage along, as I still see them stocked, but it certainly won't be of the same lot number.

    They all fed, functioned, and shot well.
    Taking a break from social media.

    Mag tech has been GTG as a brand since the early 90s in 9mm.

    I too would not run steel unless it was much cheaper than brass and/or the only thing available.

    My experience with Magtech ammo (.38 and 9mm) I’ve tried is that it’s extremely smoky, and I tend to find a lot more gun shot residue on my guns afterwards.
