1000 Rounds of 9mm Ammo by MaxxTech - 115gr FMJ

2 or 3 failure to load in every magazine in 3 different pistols. Overall length of cartridges vary significantly. I am a competitive shooter, and cannot afford this high a level of failure. (Posted on 6/2/2016)

Worse ammo I have every tried. I get a jam averaging about 1 per clip. Had an underloaded shell slug jam in the barrel. It did not have enough powder to push it through. Casings jam in all three of my S&W's. Cheap worthless junk. (Posted on 5/31/2016)

Put 300 rounds down range with no problems. 1700 to go, I will write a full review when all are spent. (Posted on 5/30/2016)

Great price. Thanks. (Posted on 5/26/2016)

Shot this in a CZ P07 that I've put hundreds of rounds through using a variety of ammo and never had a problem with any of them. Same with a Sig P938 and a friends CZ SP-01. This ammo resulted in several FTF & FTE on each magazine in all three guns. Big mess to clean up after shooting. I will never buy again. (Posted on 5/23/2016)

I bought 1000 rounds of this ammo because it was very affordable. Cheap is a better word to use though. I fired it from three different pistols: Glock 19, S&W M&P Shield, S&W M&P VTAC. All platforms are regularly cleaned, maintained, and lubricated. It had a high malfunction rate in each pistol, approximately 20% of the time; possibly higher. Most of the time if was a failure to extract or a failure to eject. Many of the expended casings would get stuck inside the chamber and lock the slide; resulting in the use of a cleaning rod inserted into the muzzle to clear the obstruction. Other times the casing would get caught up in the slide during ejection. There were a few failure to fires as well. I noticed that some of the casings had some sort of crusty residue on the outside of the casing, possibly the reason why it was getting stuck in the chamber and not ejecting. I also noticed immediately upon opening the first box that a few rounds were seated too far into the casing. The malfunctions were so frequent that it severely impeded my training and caused major frustration. I would not recommend this ammunition to anyone. (Posted on 5/4/2016)

Bought 1000 rounds for my GLOCK 19. Last 3 trips to SHOOTERS WORLD have had 3 barrel jams around the 30-40 round mark consistently. Gun never jammed like this with any other rounds. Lesson learned going to stick with higher quality brass ammo as there have been no issues. (Posted on 4/27/2016)

Jammed sig223 and walther pps m2 badly. Will shoot from sig228. If I had to do it again I would NOT buy this garbage again. (Posted on 4/20/2016)

Buying good quality range ammo for a good price let's me keep my skills honed. Having a gun when you need one is important, being able to hit what you are shooting at is priceless. (Posted on 4/18/2016)

about 20% of casings got stuck in the barrel after fire. gun used Ruger P95 and Canik 55 TP-9 (Posted on 4/18/2016)

i too bought a 1000 rounds of this ammo and was apprehensive about running it through my pistol (cz 75 sp-01) and my friend's glock 17 after reading all the bad reviews.
extraction problems seemed to be the main issue with this ammo according to the reviews, so i lubed the bore of my pistol the night before hitting the desert hoping to mitigate the failure to extract casings. my friend did not lube the bore of his pistol.
we shot 200 rounds of the maxxtech steel and did not experience one malfunction in either of our pistols. (Posted on 4/8/2016)

Jams and miss fire I would never buy or recommend this ammo again it is not reliable at all not to safe !!!!!!!!!!! Don't waste you money or your life on it thanks hope this save someone's life or fingers. (Posted on 4/4/2016)

I should have read the reviews first. I have put this through Sig Sauer P226, HKP30L, Beretta 92FS, Jericho 941, and more. Consistent jams. It seemed only the Sig could shoot it without issues. Today a cartridge discharged, but bullet lodged in barrel on 5th round of the day in the Sig. It is not just because of the steel casings, as I have used 4,000+ rounds of Tula 9mm without any issues. (some issues with Tula .40 and .45 though) For me, I will read more reviews before I try a new brand of ammo. (Posted on 4/4/2016)

Took out my pistol to hit the range and during my second magazine, as I cleared the failure to eject I fired again and it locked my slide forward. This ammo is faulty, swells, and is definitely not worth saving the ten dollars you would do by purchasing federal. (Posted on 3/28/2016)

Shot about 300 rounds today. About 45% failed to eject or stuck in barrel. This was with 3 different guns, so I attribute the failures to the ammo. Wasted half my time at the range field cleaning and clearing rounds. NOT worth the low price!!! (Posted on 3/22/2016)

Went through 300 rounds of this today at the range. Jammed 4-5 times on 2 brand new Glock 19s. The steel expands and becomes lodged in the extractor. If you try to work the slide it becomes almost impossible to get it out. Fires ok I guess. It goes bang when you pull the trigger, but you might not be able to fire again. I don't know about you but I don't like trying to remove things from the business end of my firearms. (Posted on 3/17/2016)

Almost 2 or more rounds per box at least have bullets pushed too far into the casing. This causes bulging when fired, and gets the case stuck really well into the chamber. Jammed up two Glock 19's and a SW MP Shield. Just buy Tula for the cheap stuff, OR cough up a little more dough and buy American. Bulk Ammo kicks ass, these rounds do not. Now go get training.

I wanted some cheap 9mm ammo so I order this sparky-n-carpy stuff.
Gee 1000 rounds sparky-n-carpy. OMG rocks would be better!
Asking if I can return it. It jams in my gun almost all the time. I can't just put it in the trash can or can I. If you want a box send me $10 and the shipping is free! DO NOT GET THIS MaxxTech AMMO !!!! (Posted on 3/8/2016)

Bought 1000 rounds for the best deal I could find for a lot of range practice shooting. Should have read these reviews first. Worst ammo I've ever used. After only 220 rounds, I am returning the rest. Used this ammo in FOUR different handguns (Bersa BPCC, CZ 75 SP-01, Rock Island carry 1911, S&W MP) and had FOURTEEN jams! I can understand a few FTF's or FTE's, but we had to do serious work on these guns to remove the ammo. The CZ was a new pistol, and took the brunt of the ammo and jams (150 rounds, 7 jams). We started running it through our other 9mm's to see what would happen. Turns out the CZ handled it better than any of the other guns (Bersa and Rock Island didn't make it through 20 rounds before having 3 jams each). Not 100% sure that it is because of the steel casing, but I am 100% sure it's this particular ammo. I have since purchased and ran 500 rounds of four different brands (Federal, American Eagle, Winchester, and Blazer Brass) with ZERO issues from any of the ammos or guns. To be safe, I will be running only brass casings from now on. Very lucky we didn't have to take any of the guns to a gunsmith to remove the jams. This was obviously the CHEAPEST ammo out there, but it came with a price. I'm rating it low on bargain because what little money you may save comparing brands, you will spend significantly more than that in wasted time and effort, and potentially repairing your guns. DO NOT BUY THIS AMMO! Spend a little more money and buy something reliable; you will thank yourself later. (Posted on 3/7/2016)

You get what you pay for. The majority of these rounds won't chamber and when they do they won't extract. (Posted on 3/1/2016)

I wanted some cheap 9mm ammo so I order this sparky-n-carpy stuff.
I will never order MaxxTech steel anymore, stove pipes and all the bad stuff. Gee 1000 rounds sparky-n-carpy. OMG rocks would be better! (Posted on 2/28/2016)

I had nothing but problems with this ammo. More than 20 failures to eject from 50 rounds. Don't waste your money. (Posted on 2/15/2016)

I own a Beretta PX4 Storm and have shot all kinds of ammo through it, but this ammo is bad news. It jammed my gun three times and I actually had to take it to a gunsmith to have a live round removed because it was jammed in the barrel. Stay away from this stuff, it's not worth the headache. (Posted on 2/11/2016)

Bought 1,000 rounds of this, and I've gone though 5 or so boxes in my M&P Shield. It must be the steel casings, but this ammo has been a disaster. Seems like every other mag has one failure to eject, and that has not happened with any other ammo, including MaxxTech 115mg with brass casings. It's so bad I went and bought a few boxes of Magtech for a shooting lesson, so I didn't spend half the instruction time trying to fix it. (Posted on 1/29/2016)

This ammo was reasonably accurate when it shot, but I had stuck case after stuck case in several quality guns (glocks and hk.) I also had a good number of failure to fires- some had to have the primer hit three times to get them to ignite. No more steel case 9mm for me, especially this brand. (Posted on 1/29/2016)

Using it through a carbine, but shoots with well above average accuracy. No issues with reliability. (Posted on 1/28/2016)

Ammo Did Not Work For Me Whatsoever. A Lesson Learned, Sent Back And Waiting For This To Be Resolved. (Posted on 1/25/2016)

Good value for the price. Using through a 9MM carbine right now. No misfires or failures to feed yet. (Posted on 1/14/2016)

Ran perfect in G19, G26, & P229 indoor range. Jammed like crazy in a PPQ, and VP9 when outside 5 degrees. Yes, we shoot when its that cold cause no one else is at the Range! (Posted on 1/11/2016)

I ran a few hundred rounds through a G17. Ammo worked great but was very sparky lol. For the price, its great pratice ammo. Better and cleaner then Tula in my opinion. Once again, BulkAmmo knocked it out of the park with service and shipping speed. (Posted on 1/1/2016)
