Hi I’m posting mainly because I’m unable to get a straight answer from tenda but has anyone bought or used this ammo can you tell me if this ammunition is magnetic I got no idea as I have not used this ammunition before. I emailed tenda 3 times with no straight answer just asking if this ammo is magnetic or not thanks.

I just tried it with a couple of weak magnets I have and it looks non-magnetic to me.

 

[M&P 40]

Non-magnetic

 

[Gatehouse]

No..

 

[P90rippin]

I have some AE223 and it's non-magnetic.

 

[Jest4phun]

Ah, thanks a lot guys that’s good to hear.

 

[Bak Dur]

I use this indoors with no problems.

 

[manic29]

not magnetic

 

[Svt40 fan]

just did a quick google search.. non magnetic as others said

They are non-magnetic. But I would get the PMC instead. Better brass and wayy less (like 0) FTF in my DD.

 

[Jest4phun]

Thanks I’ll give that a try too.

Is the question whether or not the ammo is ferromagnetic? (as in it has a steel core and a magnet will attract to the steel)
- or -
is the question whether or not it's magnetic? as in you can pick up nails/ferrous metal shavings with the cartridge or stick the cartridge to your fridge? if it is magnetic that is a really really dangerous thing in a firearm and should not be used and should be addressed immediately.

Non.
And currently the cheapest around.

I have used the AE, it is non magnetic. I do, however, find that it is very inaccurate in my AR: 4" groups at 100 yards are not "groups" but patterns. Impossible to use for sight-in.

I'm back to reloading as the same rifle puts my home-loads in sub MOA at 100 yards.

what twist rate is your barrel?^

 

[Jest4phun]

1:7 which iv heard like heavier rounds but for now I just need a cheap blaster ammo for me and friends to go plinking with.

Depending on what your are plinking; you may or may not hit it.

Sorry for the late response, the AE223J is "Magnet Friendly" which will NOT stick to it. SO ENJOY!

Well it’s the cheapest on the market so it can’t hurt to try it out along with some other brands and weights to see what works and doesn’t for me.
