Any experience with MagTech brass?

I need to pick up some .32SWL brass and this is about all that is currently available. The reviews on MidwayUSA.com are positive and the price is sure reasonable. Anyone here 'bouts use this brass before?
Thank you.

I have used quite a bit in 44 special. Been good stuff so far. I would buy more if I came across it.
I've had no issues with it...

I have reloaded MagTech brass when it was available, mostly in 44 Spec, 44 mag, and 45 Colt, and have not had any issues with it. All of my experience with it comes with once fired brass...where I had factory ammo, shot it, and re-used the brass. I have not used their new brass, but I don't expect there would be much difference.

I can't say that I have any experience with MagTech, but heard good things about it.
If you're not in a big hurry for it, although its on backorder until 6/26/2013 Starline offer's it. $82.00 per 500.

Hoot, to the best of my knowledge Magtech is the same old CBC brand, rebranded. CBC is Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos (Brazilian Cartridge Company) and I've always had good experiences with their brass. I've got some Magtech in the cache up north that's been loaded and reloaded several times. It's 44 and 45 caliber, I'd expect their 32 to be at least as good.
All mine from factory ammo and I had no problems.

Sometimes I get a deal or a partial box of something comes in the shop with a trade so the age/DOB on the ammo varies. Never had a problem with either the loaded ammo OR the brass.

All the CBC brass I have reloaded in 9 and 45 ACP have been fine.
Thanks guys!

I appreciate the insight and first hand experience.
Depending on how fast I get going, I'll probably pick up some or the Star Line if they are available. I actually don't need them until early next year when our little pistol league starts back up. You see, I picked up a "cheater"...

Sweet! Color me green. Gotta love those 32's...

on a semi related note, I may be able to pick up some factory 38 WC ammo - in 38 spl. Not a big deal most places, but it's like hens' teeth 'round this neck of the woods. 32 WC is even rarer... time will tell if it surfaces.
Congrats on the plinker.
