Everyone should know exactly what the chamber headspace is on these rifles.

That said, I would not buy/use that ammo either. I think that it is pretty much, crap ammo.

They put a NATO stamp on that ammo but, it is made in Brazil, which is not a NATO member country…so who has given them the stamp of approval on this ammo that it has been certified to be NATO specification ammunition?

It's like using the the phrase "all natural ingredients" on certain food products but, no official entity has certified the product to be truly organic.

No thank you, I would rather pay a dollar a round for REAL NATO ammunition, such as Belgian, German, Port., Radway Green, FC, WCC, etc., etc.

They are ISO9001 certified. Always easy to blame ammo, rather than the rifle or poor shooting abilities. Opinions are just that. I "think" don't mean squat.

The Magtech Story
For over 80 years, we have been dedicated to manufacturing and marketing top quality ammunition products throughout the world. The Magtech brand name is commercially recognized internationally and sold in more than 50 countries worldwide. In order to deliver technologically advanced products at an affordable price, we have established three key business operations across the globe that support Magtech’s prominent position amongst the foremost manufacturers of ammunition and firearms in the world.

1. To serve the United States market we established a central located facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This facility serves as the master distributorship and sales headquarters of Magtech products in the U.S.A. and it also home to the marketing department for the Magtech brand and image.

2. In order to attend the European market we created a Master Distribution Center in the free port of Hamburg, Germany. This facility, which is home to the European sales department, serves as supplier and logistic assistant to every Magtech distributor in Europe.

3. The headquarters is located in São Paulo, Brazil and our company, CBC - Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos, is the largest military and commercial ammunition manufacturer in Latin America. CBC was founded in 1926, and from 1936 through 1979 Remington Arms of USA and ICI – Imperial Chemical Industries of England were the controlling shareholders. Today, the operation is a privately held company.

The main objective at Magtech is to provide shooting enthusiasts with absolutely reliable, totally affordable ammunition, round after round. Magtech ammunition is designed, constructed, and tested in one of the largest and most modern small arms manufacturing facilities in the world. We use only the highest quality materials, cutting-edge manufacturing techniques, and state-of-the-art equipment to deliver exceptional standards. Tough quality control standards along with tight manufacturing tolerances on most products in accordance with SAAMI, CIP, NATO, or US Mil. technical specifications ensure reliability, consistency, and safety.

Since 1926 much has changed in the industry and in the marketplace, but one thing that has not changed is our dedication and commitment to building the best ammunition and ammunition components. One of our major advantages is that our factory is fully vertically integrated with its own powder plant, primer plant, and the brass and bullet processing is completed in the ammunition plant to ensure the world’s finest ammunition. While other ammunition companies rely on outside vendors to supply various components, Magtech houses all of these processes inside our ISO 9001 Quality System Certified Facility.

Due to the high quality and consequent reliability, our products are exported to more than 50 countries around the world. This international credibility is very rewarding as more than 20 national police agencies in Europe, Asia, and Latin America depend on Magtech ammunition to serve and protect.

To reach our goal of making the best ammunition, we make a habit of listening to shooters to better understand how, when, and why our products are used. Magtech has used the experience we have gained by working closely with law enforcement personnel to develop unique products for the police and competition markets, along with the design of lead-free products for indoor shooting. From hunters to target shooters, cowboy action enthusiasts to reloaders, word is spreading fast about high quality Magtech ammunition.

Please continue to share your suggestions, shooting experiences, ideas, and questions with us. If, for any reason, our products or service do not meet our high standards or yours, we want you to tell us. Only then may we accomplish our goal of being the best.

Thanks for choosing Magtech Ammunition.

You guys with your loaded rifles (and perhaps the Fulton) have Match cut chambers, they are TIGHT...

Don't complain when you find that all ammo won't chamber, it's the trade off for the match chamber.

Again and again, I see people with the match chambers whining when some ammo won't work.

If you want to shoot more types of ammo, you need the rack grade cut chamber.

KNOW YOUR HEADSPACE

Mine in 1.631 on a Standard. do you know yours, SAI includes a card with your rifle that has the head space!

I fired some that a cousin bought (50 rounds), and had no problems whatsoever. When one of our most esteemed armorers installed a NIW TRW for me bolt last fall, he headspaced her at 1.6355". Though like any other ammo offered at current prices, I passed on laying in any quantity.
