Fiocchi ammo?

[pepperbelly]

I will hopefully be getting my new Savage to the range this weekend. I need some good commercial ammo to establish what it will do before I start handloading. That, and I don't have any ready yet.
I have a Cabela's about 7 miles from me so i will be shopping there. They usually have a good selection of ammo. I will be looking at FGGM and BH, but I noticed they also have Fiocchi. The pistol ammo Fiocchi is pretty good. How is their rifle ammo?

I used to use Fiocchi all the time for my SPS-V 308 (handload now). Its decent for factory and its WAY cheaper than FGGM and BH (at least in Tuscon it is).

I may as well try some and see.
How is the brass for reloading? S&B pistol brass is hard. I can feel every one that goes into my SDB .45acp resizing die. I don't even look to check anymore. The first few times it felt like I had a .22 case in there.

Re: Fiocchi ammo?

yea, I ordered em from there. that place is great. certain ammo is massively cheaper than stores and some is a little cheaper but it good. and it tells you if something is out of stock.

Re: Fiocchi ammo?

I will go by CTD at lunch tomorrow. Their store is only about 1.5 miles from me. With Cabela's only about 7 miles away I am in a good spot here.

Re: Fiocchi ammo?

shot a couple boxes of the 77g 223 match ammo a while back and it grouped fine at 100 and 200. Didn't Chrono it check consistency though.

Re: Fiocchi ammo?

Fiocchi brass is good for reloading at least in .223. Never tried the .308, but can;t see why it would be different.
The cases are marked GFL and are thinner than LC but thicker than winchester brass in the necks. .223 isn;t hard on cases, but have had 15 or so reloads on neck sized cases without any trouble. When midway has it on sale it is almost as cheap as getting unloaded brass

Re: Fiocchi ammo?

Shot some of the 155 grain FMJ Fiocchi through my Remington 5R at 330 yards. Did a three inch group, surprisingly. I got it to shoot hogs at close range, but getting decent accuracy is great. The 62 grain FMJ BT doesn't seem to like any of my 556 rifles much, but it's cheap and smacks hogs pretty well. The 9mm works fine. Bought all mine from DSGArms.
