Magtech Ammunition
Authorized Dealer • Ribeirão Pires, Brazil Since 1926
Magtech is the export brand of Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos (CBC), the largest ammunition manufacturer in South America — founded in 1926 in Ribeirão Pires (São Paulo state) and the parent company of Sellier & Bellot since 2009. CBC supplies the Brazilian Army and exports to NATO-aligned and South American militaries; the Magtech civilian catalog brings the same brass-cased, Boxer-primed, NATO-spec production into the US training and personal-defense market at price points that compete with PMC and the budget Federal American Eagle line. Keep Shooting carries the workhorse Magtech Range and Training 9mm load — the canonical brass-cased range round for AR-platform PCC carbines and 9mm handguns, sold by the box.
Magtech Ammunition at Keep Shooting
Magtech is the international civilian brand of CBC (Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos), the Brazilian conglomerate founded in Ribeirão Pires in 1926 that has grown into the largest ammunition manufacturer in South America. CBC's military production supplies the Brazilian Armed Forces and a number of NATO-aligned and South American militaries; the Magtech-branded civilian catalog is positioned as the export-grade training and personal-defense option that brings the same brass-cased, Boxer-primed manufacturing into the US market at budget-tier pricing. Since 2009, CBC has owned Sellier & Bellot — making Magtech and S&B sister brands sharing common quality standards but distinct catalogs and price positioning.
Range and Training 9mm
The Magtech Range and Training 9mm is the workhorse SKU we stock from the Magtech catalog — brass-cased, full metal jacket, 9mm Luger / 9x19mm Parabellum loaded to NATO pressure spec and suitable for all SAAMI and CIP 9mm chambers. Range and Training is Magtech's value tier (equivalent to PMC Bronze, Federal American Eagle, or Sellier & Bellot 9mm in positioning), intended for high-volume range work, basic skills training, and any application where cost per round matters more than match-grade consistency. The brass cases are Boxer-primed and reloadable, which sets it apart from the cheapest steel-case Russian and Eastern European imports that have traditionally undercut brass-case ammunition on price. For shooters running 9mm handguns (Glock 17/19, Sig P320/P226, S&W M&P, Beretta 92) or 9mm pistol-caliber carbines (CZ Scorpion, Ruger PC9, Kel-Tec Sub-2000, AR9 platforms), this is the standard high-volume range load.
Magtech and Sellier & Bellot — The CBC Sister Brands
The 2009 acquisition of Sellier & Bellot by CBC made the two brands sister operations with shared corporate ownership but independent manufacturing footprints (Magtech in Brazil, S&B in Vlasím, Czechia) and distinct catalog positioning. S&B leans into Eastern European and Warsaw-Pact heritage calibers (the 9x18mm Makarov being the most distinctive), Czech less-lethal 12-gauge, and standard NATO calibers from a manufacturer continuously operating since 1825. Magtech leans into the South American and African export volume tiers, brass-case training loads, and the broader CBC OEM relationships. For shooters comparing the two: same parent, similar quality, slightly different catalog scope.
Pairing & Cross-References
For shooters comparing 9mm range options across the budget brass-case tier, see our Sellier & Bellot catalog (the CBC sister brand), the PMC catalog (South Korean Bronze + X-Tac), the Fiocchi catalog (Italian heritage with overlapping positioning), and the Federal Ammunition catalog (American Eagle is the closest domestic competitor on price-per-round). Browse by caliber via the 9mm catalog, the handgun ammo category, or the target shooting handgun ammo catalog for the broader range / training 9mm inventory.
