This 9mm cartridge by Magtech is the NATO kind, not the Luger variety that you’ll more frequently find on store shelves. The key difference is the round’s superior velocity -- this one’s bullet tears out of the muzzle at a rate more than 200 fps faster than Magtech’s other comparable 9mm load.
Of course, this is still a range round through and through. With its concentric copper jacket its 124 grain bullet feeds very reliably in any platform of firearm, prevents the bore from quickly choking up with lead residue, and passes cleanly through a variety of target types. Because it will likely penetrate a soft target, such a bullet is not optimal for self-defense.
This cartridge is standing by for future handloading sessions, as the brass casing it leaves behind is a high quality piece of work. Magtech’s primer is always non-corrosive, and their propellant achieves that aforementioned high muzzle velocity without creating a great many unwanted residues.
