fiocchi brass

[res1b3uq]

I picked up some .45 brass this morning at the range. About half were fiocchi. when I checked them out at home, I found 5 of the fiocchi that were cracked, out of about 60. I know these were new brass, fired from a Les Baer. Has anyone had any experience with this brass, and should I try to reload the other brass?

In my experience with Fiocchi brass I have had nothing but good luck with it.

Are you sure the brass isn't from a Glock or similar unsupported barrel?

At any rate, it is all I shoot anymore. Our local range sells it for their main range ammo. I get leftovers!

I use Fiocchi 9mm Luger and .38 spl cases with no problem.

I've loaded probably 1000 Fiocchi's in 9mm and 45acp ... had no problems, my experience is it's good to go.

Thanks for the rapid replies. I'll give it a shot.

I have about 500 Fiocchi 45 cases, and they have been my revolving inventory for many reloads now. I'd rate it as very good brass.

My only gripe with Fiocchi brass is that the primer pocket has little or no radius on the opening so primers sometimes get hung up as they are inserted. Other than that it is great brass and lasts a long time.

primer pockets

i take a rcbs camfer tool & trim a little bit on the pockets to help start primers.

I have Fiocci brass in 38, 357, 45, and 9mm that I loaded. It is all good brass. The local range sells Fiocci as their primary range ammo so I get lots of it.
