Just wondering.

Fiocchi 180 FMJ @ 1250 would be true 10mm performance if it makes its numbers...

I don't shoot much factory ammo, mostly in rental guns to try one out. Seems like every time I have a hard primer issue it's Fiocchi. It'll be interesting to see if their 10mm ammo is reliable.

I will! You mean they finally listened? ${$default_lips_sealed_smiley}$

You have made quite some inroads with 10mm ammo manufacturers.

I think more firearms help too. They label this one "revolver"... probably the latest revolver releases helped a ton!

I ordered FMJ and HP's tonight. We got past the recent heat wave and when the rain ceases I will have a bunch to run.

Sounds good..

I took the plunge and ordered some boxes of JHP & FMJ tonight too. Hopefully Fiocchi loads them with a decent JHP bullet. Seen them use Hornady's XTP's in other handgun calibers. I'll be really pleased if actual velocities come in close to advertised and they use XTPs...

I shot a couple hundred of the FMJ. Groups ok. Seemed to shoot pretty dirty. Didn't clock them so don't know speed.

I received my order today. It's raining again today and a 40% chance tomorrow... through August 7th ${$default_angry_smiley}$

If it's clear after work I'm trying! Might not be until Saturday morning though (20% chance).

These look like XTP's

Nice!

Interested to hear some chrono results.

Rojo27 · July 25 2018 06:28:25 PM MDT

Excellent!!

+1 on the eager for chrono results!

An thoughts on Fiocchi's brass quality (GFL headstamp)? from some searching, it sounds like it's ok for the most part, other than the normal few that have had a bad experience with it
Thanks

Nah, I don't think I have ever had any problems with Fiocchi brass, but I don't have a large enough sample to make any evaluations.
