Thank for testing this ammunition. Still valid testing for those of us looking into a few nickel and dimes saved in the bulk end of the receipt. Great grouping too, sir.
As two others have said already, this is NOT nickel cased. It’s ZINC plated! Huge difference with costs here. Zinc is dirt cheap, compared to nickel plating. I used to own an electroplating company.
@@ACommenterOnRU-vid I’ve never ever seen anybody nor read about anybody posting on RU-vid, claiming to own an electroplating company, besides me. Did you just pull that out of your rectal database or what? It’s a family run company that’s been around since the 60’s and still going strong today. I sold my shares to a family member and got out of the business.
Thanks for this video. I'm down tomy last 2 cases of 124gr & 115gr magtech brass. Saw these a month ago for $229 while searching websites for a few more cases. Was kind of unsure, but now I know.
Guess it makes sense if buying in large orders of ammo. Ive been thinking about adding a box if this on my next ammo haul to test it out… seems like it cycles fine… good video. Thanks!
Thanks for the compete testing. I think the ammo is pretty good. I have a question at about 5:24 -- I think the instructions of the Chronograph say "15 feet". You put it about 3 feet away. Isn't it too close? because according to the groups, the velocities should not be so wide spread. Also, I think you know you could download the app for the Chronograph? Use the cable to connect the Chronograph with the phone, and the app would do all the calculations for you. -- that's what I've been doing.
Seen these and figured they would run good, but I am finding brass cased for the same price so no point unless they are truly cheaper. I'm sure it varies by location, but online I can find brass for the same price, even Magtech brass...
I've seen the magtech steel case for $229 1000ct and the magtech brass case for $259 1000ct. Where are you finding magtech or any brass cased 9mm for $229 1000ct?
@@sloanmagnum5009 most people do not even know how to find the cheapest ammunition. they do not even know what a good cent per round is for 9mm fmjs and end up paying like 43 cents per round and telling their fudd friends" i got a really good deal for this ammo in the gun shop"
Well it might make the steel slicker so not as much extraction problems but its still steel case and does not expand as much as brass leaving a gap between the case wall and the chamber wall where carbon fouling blow back will still foul a chamber. So regardless of the enhanced extraction measure of nickel coating on the steel, guns will still need to be cleaned more often than brass to keep the fouling and malfunctions down. Magtech must be doing better because its always performed poor accuracy results for me.
It's not that big a difference, unless you have a way out--of-spec chamber--do you routinely get split cases, with brass cased ammo? You probably won't see any signficant difference, cleaning wise
Believe it or not i seen no more build up than running their brass case ammo through this pistol. Which ive ran a bunch of 115gr magtech brass through it. Thanks for watching..
No, the lubricity of nickel is obscenely high. There's a reason premium defensive ammo is all nickel coated brass. The cases themselves are also going to be very soft steel, so while they are harder than brass, it's not particularly likely that they'll accelerate wear; especially given the coating.
@@spacecaesar7619 i always laugh at the barrel wear thing because with the money you save from buying 10,000 rounds of 9mm you can buy a couple of spare barrels so you end up with a new barrel at the end of 10,000 rounds instead of a well worn one from brass ammo plus money left over.
@@OmegaAlphaDu well when the majority say that, it has to be true right ??? When i call the 6 local guns shops they all say the same thing, NOBODY there uses steel case ammo. I purchased 250 rounds of steel case ammo on accident because i was not paying attention and some douche mixed steel case boxes with brass case and i grabbed 4 boxes. 3 were brass and 1 was steel. I shot the steel off 1st to get rid of them and i didnt have any issues. But that was about 50 rounds per gun and 50 rounds for the AR ... None had issues but i didnt' continue with steel. Still have 100 left over that i didnt fire off.
@@ACommenterOnRU-vid people say that because it's something that just took off when it shouldn't have. Tests have shown that any decent gun will chew through whatever ammo you throw at it. Steel is so reliable that some countries almost entire ammunition stockpiles and depots are steel cased ammunition. Countries are willing to risk their existence on steel case then it should be good enough for Joe Sixpack up the street. Steel case is just good ammunition, end of story.
