Non-Magnetic 9x18 Mak Ammo

[billybob_jcv]

I recently acquired a 9x18 Makarov, and the ranges around me do not allow "any ammo that is attracted to a magnet". Some of the descriptions of the 9x18 Mak ammo I have seen say it is "steel cased" (obviously that's a no-no for me), but others just say things like "zinc-plated case" or "bi-metal FMJ". Is there somewhere online that gives more specific info that I can use to figure out what I can buy and what to avoid? I'm really hoping the answer will not be "any ammo that is reasonably priced is ammo I can't use"...

Price wise this is probably your best bet... unless cabelas has it on sale along with $5 shipping.

sadly all the "cheap ammo" brown\silver bear etc will cause problems at the ranges you are talking about.

what kind of mak did you get?

It's nothing special - it's not really a C&R - I just figured someone who knew about 9x18 Mak ammo would probably hang out in this forum (I think I was right! ). The gun belonged to my father-in-law. It is an IJ70-18AH, so, it's a common Russian commercial with the hi-cap mag and adjustable rear sight. Looks like it might be fun to shoot!
