Anyone try the Fiocchi Yet?

Thanks gandog!

 I'm not too impressed with Fiocchi's offering for the money versus other stuff. I also had a couple that didn't set the primer off.

EAA Limited Pro 4.75" 1156, 1157, 1151, 1152, 1134  Average = 1150 FPS/529 LBS
EAA Super Match 6" 1203, 1185, 1203, 1179, 1185  Average = 1190.4 FPS/ 566 LBS

Fiocchi 180gr JHP (XTP)

Well that was a disappointment. Was hoping for 1250 as advertised.

Well, I was actually speaking about their brass as in reloading them. I don't use THEIR primers. What they use could be a game changer if they are unreliable. I just had no problems reusing their brass.

Good range report IC!

  I will send a couple of the bad primer rounds to you with the pull-downs.

Certainly not "as advertised"....  Bout the same as Hornidy's fps & energy (with suspect primers to boot).  Wonder if others that have tried it encountered the primer problems too? 

[HoytFlinger]

I had zero primer problems out of almost 200 rounds.

My order came in today.  I'm nearly certain the JHP's that came in my order are not XTP.
They look like Montana Gold JHP.

Got a picture of the bullets?

I need to check my Limited Pro firing pin. The channel might be fouled giving light strikes.

The Fiocchi looks a lot like a Zero bullet.

[5pins]

200gr XTP on the left. 180gr Zero on the right.

[Rojo27]

I'll defer to the hand loaders on this one as 5Pins could very likely be correct. 
I just knew the Fiocchi jhp I got weren't  XTP.
