Is anyone familiar with this? Generally good reviews on the internet.

@Dolomite_supafly You seem to know everything about anything gun related, ever. Thoughts regarding quality compared to a quality US manufactured equivalent (such as Winchester 3131).

Bi have shoot a bunch of it in 9mm and 223. No issues. Little dirtier brass but nothing a few more minutes in the tumbler does not fix. Seems as good as any of the Winchester or Federal I use. Accuracy is good enough for plinking. I would not think long range would be a great choice but I use higher end or reloads for that anyway as always just my opinion and YMMV

Magtech is fine ammo for most use cases.  I've shot a ton of it over the years.

Seems like you ought to be able to do better than that on pricing, though.  I just paid $118/420 for lake city M855 on stripper clips.  Seems like there was a rebate through the end of the year, but you still ought to be able to do sub-$300/1000 shipped for M193.

The only problems I have ever heard about is some of its pistol ammunition but that was at least a decade ago.

PSA just had Federal 55 grain for $109/420 after rebate.

I remember reading in the Owners Manual that came with one of my Handguns, to Never Use Magtech in their products. I don’t remember what Pistol manufacturer it was Now? I think they were Loading them to Hot, I think?

That was Way to long ago? Or it seems like it Now?

CBC makes great 5.56 ... I've shot close to a case with my 16" BMC Mid-Length without any issues. I've got 2 more cases of it in my stash.
