Anyone have any experience with it? It looks like it could be of pretty good quality but I only have loaded ammo right now.

Re: Fiocchi brass
No personal experiance with the brass. However, a buddy had some and had nothing bad to say about it. Got 7 loads out of them if I remember right before the pockets went limp.

Re: Fiocchi brass
I've shot it through 8 reloads of 223 in an AR15. It split the necks occasionally (~ 1 in 10) by reload 6, I just threw them all in the scrap bin after the 8th reload because about 50% of them were splitting the necks.
Mine had crimped primers so it was a little hard to throw it away sooner than that, I had so much time in prepping it.
I've since bought an RCBS prep center for that very reason.

Re: Fiocchi brass
Yes, they came with annealed necks and shot dandy for a few rounds. I didn't anneal them before they started cracking out because I didn't have a way to do it en-mass and since then I picked up several thousand uncrimped cases, so I just kept shooting the Fiocchi til I didn't care to risk split necks anymore.
I shot all of these in a factory chambered AR, so the brass was getting pretty rough around the edges even if the necks weren't splitting, the case heads were getting beat up too.
