Billet is a bar of metal. A billet alloy magazine means it was machined out of a block, rather than folded from a sheet.

It's often worded poorly in marketing making it sound like the metal itself is a substance name 'billet' which it's not.

Always thought billet was a type of metal too reading how it's written on these things :oops:

Gold Coast Shooters supplies have KKK 10 rnd steel mags (7600/.308) for $70 each
Lucky 13 billet alloy 10 rnd mags (7600/.308) are about $180 each
Wild Dog mags seem to be even more expensive (I have heard of prices of $250 each) and so I never sort them out.

The KKK mags have a reputation for unreliability, yet I have 4 of them for my 7600 Police and never had a problem. The Lucky 13 mags are apparently very reliable, though they are very expensive. You can get your local gun smith to 'function test' magazines.
