Magtech .32 velocity question

[JERRYS.]

has anyone here chronographed Magtech ammo in .32 S&W Long? specifically their 98gr. JHP? I ask this because I've read reports that MagTech loads in this caliber are ridiculously lower than advertised.

I don't own a chronograph but I've used it almost exclusively for years in an old 4" target revolver. It seems to be the most common option at local gun stores. I grew up shooting .32 S&W Long and the Magtech doesn't feel any different. It does about the same damage to both inanimate objects and small pests.

 

[74A95]

I recorded it at 794 fps from a 4.2" Ruger SP101 barrel.

No velocity, but I can tell you the bullet will not expand. From the .32 Mag or .327, it would.

"...ridiculously lower than advertised..." What barrel length? It matters.
Mind you, the .32 S&W isn't fast out of anything. Average 98 grain jacketed velocities run around 750 FPS. So Magtech's 778 FPS out of a 4" barrel isn't that much higher.

4". see the chrono results in this article.
