indeed, the 300 series should not be magnetic...
here a couple of many explanations available with a google search:

Guys,
I purchased a roll of 3/16" SS wire rope which was clearly labeled
304SS from Home Depot.
When I got home, I tested it with a magnet. It was highly attractive.
It gets returned.
I know there are some kinds of SS which show magnetism.
I think the explanation is "made in China" rather than some magical
change in SS 304 properties as it crosses the Pacific.
Am I wrong?
