Details
Steel. It is used to make motorcycles. It is used to make motorcycle ramps. It is used to make school buses. Without steel, no one would be able to jump over school buses on motorcycles. Does that sound like the kind of world you would want to live in? We think not!
But did you know that steel can also be used to manufacture cost-effective shell casings? That’s right! Thanks to Magtech’s Steel line of ammunition, you can now avoid paying for a significant amount of brass when you stock up on 9mm range ammo!
This ammo’s steel cases are extra shiny because they are plated in corrosion-resistant zinc. The one big caveat with steel cases is that they are absolutely worthless as handloading components, however, so do not make plans to reload these Brazilian-made rounds.
This ammo is completely noncorrosive. Its cases will attract a magnet, quite naturally, although its 115 grain full metal jacket bullets will not. They have lead cores and copper-alloy jackets, and they’re due to clear a 4” barrel’s muzzle at a velocity of 1,135 fps – just faster than the speed of sound, although you can still expect fairly low recoil.

Customer Reviews
Introduction:
Magtech Steel 9mm 115gr FMJ receives strong praise for affordability and reliable function in many pistols and carbines, especially as a dedicated range or training ammunition. However, significant patterns of extractor failures and malfunctions are reported, most notably in Sig Sauer P365-series pistols and some other subcompacts.
Overall Rating:
Best For: High-Volume Range Training (excluding Sig P365/XL and similar subcompacts)
Key Pro: Outstanding Value for Money and General Reliability in Most Pistols
Key Nuance: Steel Case (Not Reloadable, Potential for Extractor Wear)
Detailed Analysis:
What Shooters Praise (The Pros)
Consistently reliable in Glock, Canik, Beretta, Ruger, S&W M&P, and many carbines, with thousands of rounds reported and virtually no jams or failures in these platforms. In contrast, severe extractor failures, frequent jams, and stuck casings are repeatedly reported in Sig P365-series pistols, with multiple reviewers breaking extractors after hundreds of rounds.
Performance is rated highly for accuracy and clean cycling in numerous range and target contexts. Some shooters note slightly more visible muzzle flash and dirtier residue compared to brass ammo, but overall shooting quality is consistent, especially for standard pistols and carbines. Reports of poor extraction, jams, and part breakage are specific to certain models, mainly Sig P365/XL/Macro.
Unanimous consensus that the price is exceptional, with bulk-sale options frequently described as the cheapest available for new 9mm FMJ. Value for money is a standout feature, making it attractive for high-volume shooters, provided firearm compatibility is confirmed.
What to Know (The Nuances)
- Steel cased (non-reloadable), easy to pick up with a magnet
- Mixed reports on cleanliness: many call it clean, but several shooters note it is somewhat dirtier than brass and requires more frequent cleaning
- Noticeable increase in muzzle flash compared to brass (reported occasionally)
- Extractor wear and breakage strongly associated with Sig P365-series and similar subcompact pistols; no major issues noted in Glocks, Caniks, Beretta, Ruger, or S&W M&P
- Some isolated cases of jams and stuck cases, usually with specific pistols
- Shipping and customer service consistently fast and reliable
- Incompatibility or risk for lighter, subcompact models must be strongly considered
Conclusion
Magtech Steel 9mm FMJ stands out as a top value bulk ammo for range training, offering stellar reliability and function in most standard pistols and carbines from major manufacturers, especially at a very competitive price. However, users of Sig P365-series and similar subcompact pistols should avoid this ammo due to consistent patterns of extractor breakage and malfunctions. For the majority of shooters with duty-sized or compact handguns (particularly Glock, Canik, Beretta, Ruger, S&W), it's a trusted, affordable choice—just account for typical steel case trade-offs such as non-reloadability and slightly increased cleaning needs.

I’ve run 2,000 rounds of Magtech 9/115/fmj steel case through my G19, PDP Pro, & my wife’s G43 with zero malfunctions. But we don’t limp wrist the recoil either. It’s clean burning, accurate out past 50yds, and EZ to find and pick up with a stick magnet. $190 sale price is the cheapest I can find new 9/115fmj, but sales tax will vary by state, and shipping costs by distance from Indiana. I say go for it. Great ammo for volume training. (Posted on 9/30/2025)

I’m not one to complain about ammo especially when it’s priced so well. However, I’ve ran 400 rounds thru my G43 and there’s been three jams that were so serious, I had to call the armorers up to the bay to unjam it. With a live round in, and the slide unable to rack, it’s quite dangerous. On all three jams the casing was too thick and literally was stuck inside the barrel.
On my G19, it’s happened once and it was the same.
My 9mm carbine hasn’t had one problem so I’m now just running this ammo thru the carbine only and using Speer with my pistols. (Posted on 9/3/2025)

massive issue with stuck cartridge after firing, need tool to extract, issue was on both sig, that were well used and both had probably over 3,000 end on them. After using or trying to use, failure to extract on good brass, turns out both extractors were destroyed by the steel and forcing extraction by hand. Steel might be fine in hefty guns but not in a sub compact built light. DO NOT use in sig, is my recommendation. (Posted on 11/16/2024)

both guns had between 2,000 and 5,000 rounds immediately rounds would not extract and need force to get them out, later each gun over the next week had more and more failure with good brass ammo. Cleaned , called sig, tried everything. Finally replaced both extractors and guns are back to 100% reliable. Sig say “no steel” but I could not find any restrictions to steel use.
The gun is a tender thing, but its size and performance makes it a great carry, I bought another dedicated carry gun and put the other two into range duty. My sigs have reliably fired over 10,000 rnds of everything I have fed them (I have 5) until the mag tech steel killed the two. (Posted on 10/29/2024)

Have purchased over 3,000 rounds 9mm Ammo by Magtech Steel - 115gr FMJ **STEEL CASES** over the past few months. Have shot it through every 9mm I own with no issues at all. 3 Glocks, my SIG 226-XFIVE, 229 Legion, Ruger PCC and have had dozens of students use them in many different firearms. Functions perfect every time. GREAT RANGE AMMO at a great price. BulkAmmo.com comes through every time. Order on a Mon and have the ammo in hand 4 days later!

The first 600 rounds or so went great, but my then the extractor broke on my p365 macro. Thinking it was a defect with the sig, I swapped to the 365 legion, and that extractor broke within 50 rounds. This might be a great ammo for other brands, but I’m paying now for buying the cheapest. (Posted on 8/18/2024)

I bought a lot of this ammo specifically for a 16 inch carbine, it jammed up every other round and was relatively inconsistent on the target, tried different. Ammo worked perfect, however, for my pistol it was absolutely flawless. That’s why I can only give it three stars fairly I feel. (Posted on 6/2/2024)

I have about 975 rounds of this ammo left. It consistently jams every three or four rounds. I had a box of my regular 9mm ammo with me when I first used this stuff. I shot 25 rounds with no problem.

The first time I ordered MagTech steel cases rounds It was an accident, then they came and I took them to the range and I was impressed. 1000 rounds in two range sessions and not one jam or light strike, the only thing I can say about this ammo that is bad is that is does tend to run a little dirtier than your typical brass cased round, but as long as your cleaning your gun every 500 rounds or so then it's really a small issue. All in all I was very pleased and order a second case because you can't beat the price (Posted on 5/10/2024)

Q: are they good in general if need for home defense
Posted On: 12/9/2024 By: ronald
A: Hi Ronald! This ammo is absolutely capable of neutralizing a threat. That said, brass-cased JHP ammo is *far* more preferable for personal protection. I'd recommend keeping a mag loaded with police-grade ammo, just in case: https://www.bulkammo.com/bulk-9mm-ammo-9mm124grjhpspeergd-50
Q: I know the cases are steel but what about the rounds themselves? Are they steel or brass?
Posted On: 9/30/2024 By: Chris May
A: Thanks for reaching out Chris! This round's FMJ bullet has a lead core and copper jacket. No steel; no attraction to a magnet. Happy shooting!
