A: No sir, steel cases aren't considered reloadable unless you have special tools and the patience of a saint. Steel lacks the elasticity of brass, so a steel case doesn't return to its original dimensions once fired.

A: Thanks for reaching out! What you read about 9mm NATO is true, though it's not quite as "hot" as 9mm +P. That said, this isn't 9mm NATO ammo, so it's not going to cause accelerated wear to your semi-auto pistol's moving parts.

A: Good to hear from you Robert! This ammo does indeed have steel cases. The manufacturer brass plates them for smoother cycling in a semi-auto as well as improved corrosion resistance,

A: Thanks for reaching out Tom! Your HK VP9 is a great handgun and should run any 9mm well, including this. This is indeed inexpensive ammo, and its quality is not really on par with what you should expect from an American manufacturer or a good foreign firm like Prvi Partizan or Fiocchi. The PRIMARY reason this ammo is cheaper than usual is its steel cases. Steel cases are a lot more cost-effective than brass ones, but they are not suitable for handloading (not a problem if you don't reload your empty cases), and they also let more fouling enter the pistol's action during ignition (because steel is less elastic than brass, and doesn't expand as efficiently to seal the chamber during ignition). I've fired 100 rounds of this ammo myself, though, and had no misfires or failures to extract. I would trust it for target practice, where a malfunction simply means inconvenience. Shelf life should be decades so long as you keep it out of direct sunlight, away from moisture, and in a stable temperature.

A: Hello Lonnie! I've just confirmed that this round's bullet is indeed nonmagnetic. There is no steel in its jacket.
