Magtech 9mm 115gr FMJ v. WWB?

TheRomanhistorian · 02-19-2012, 08:20 PM

Hi all,

I was curious if anyone had used this ammunition. I'd read of some people's experiences with it but there were not many details here on the forum (though perhaps my 'search-fu' was weak).

I normally use Winchester white box 115gr FMJ and it is my go-to factory ammunition for the pistol.

Manufacturer: Winchester
UPC: 020892201989

9mm Luger Winchester USA Handgun Cartridge, 115-Grain Full Metal Jacket Bullet, 50 Rounds Per Box

362 ft/lbs. energy muzzle
1071 fps at 50 yards
293 ft/lbs. at 50 yards

However, I had also heard some reasonable things about the Magtech 9mm 115gr FMJ and I saw someone selling it online for about $225 for 1000 rounds:

9mm Luger Magtech Sport Shooting Full Metal Jacket 115 Grain, 1000 rounds

Muzzle velocity: 1135 fps.
Velocity at 50 yards: 1027 fps.
Muzzle energy: 330 ft/lbs.
Energy at 50 yards: 270 ft/lbs
UPC Barcode 754908162208

Has anyone else used this and would you recommend it over WWB (something I can't always find locally when I decide to go to the range on a spur of the moment).

Best,

Michael
