I’m saving about 35-40 dollars for 1k versus brass case. I’ve shot about 4000 rounds of it now with zero hiccups and pretty good accuracy.

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.

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 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.

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

Will the nickel coated steel case accelerated wear in the chamber?

@spacecaesar7619 8 ай бұрын

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.

@GodsChosen69 8 ай бұрын

@@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.

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.

@@ACommenterOnKZbin 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.
