Too much snow to go test them!   ::)

No doubt! I bet the range won't officially open until this weekend. It's going to take some time clearing it, so it's safe for travel and shooting. Hopefully Saturday though!

I have that covered, but the Rangers won't allow anyone one the property. They actually opened it up today for the first time since the snow. I'm going Saturday for sure!

Awesome! Shot some 44 mag at our indoor range. It was LOUD!

Yet another Senior moment!

    I had all the pistols this time and forgot to throw the Chrony brain in the bag. Oh well... I will go tomorrow when no crowd is there right after work.

Fiocchi uses Starline brass?

Fiocchi brass usually says GFL on the back. I guess Fiocchi doesn't make enough 44 magnum brass to bother with it, so they buy it from Starline.

I doubt that's Starline brass. I have a LOT of Starline, and none of it looks like that. Some of them have no line (purchased from Starline, direct), but none of them have 2 lines, and the stars look a little different. Coming from Italy, it could mean something entirely different. I'm not finding that headstamp in any cross-reference. I have had some Fiocci .44 Mag and Spl brass, with the G.F.L. headstamp.

I'll be damned. Just looked it up at Starline. They must have changed it, at least since I bought from them, 20 years ago, or so.

Yea. Most all the .44's I have done are this Starline.
