I've got some 38 special magtech brass that I found at the range. It's OK. Haven't done anything with other calibers.

I’ve reloaded some .44 mags innumerable times with no problems.  These were factory loads that I shot and picked up. Of course .44 brass is practically immortal anyway. ::)

beware of sarchasm inthe following post

rickyp,
you found magtech brass at the range and your picked up other brass at the range; both are free, how is the magtech brass cheaper?

end of sarchasm

In what ways does the magtech brass differ from say Remington or Winchester brass - serious question because I don't have any magtech but I do have Winchester, Remington, Speer, Frontier and others. of these Winchester is the lightest - which is good because I can get more powder in them without signs of pressure or compressing it. Remington brass won't hold as much powder but you can't tell that by looking at it. It all seems to hold up to my loads about the same - but then I don't load near maximum in most of my cases - I do for the 357 Mag and 357 Maximum because that is where I get the best accuracy but my rifle cartridges give superior accuracy below maximum loads. If you can quantify the statement I am interested.
I am not saying you are wrong- I have nothing to base anything on. I am interested in what you mean about it being cheaper and how you came to that conclusion.

I have loaded 9mm Luger,.40 S & W,and .44 Mag with Magtech and have never had any problems whatsoever with any of my loads.On the other hand I also use Remy,Winchester and Starline brass with no ploblems here either.Starline is my favorite choice......Rick

On of our GBO sponsors, Midsouth Shooter's Supply, has Magtech brass for selected calibers. Wish they had it for 45 LC, but oh well.
