How hot is Fiocchi and S&B? Can their website data be trusted? Does anyone have actual chrono data? The reason I ask is that when I take a look a ~124grain 9mm rounds I see that they are listed at speeds equaling or exceeding other brands +P loads. For Example:
Georgia Arms 124gr +P Gold Dot - 1200FPS
Cor Bon 125gr +P - 1250 fps
Fiocchi 123gr (no +P designation) - 1250fps
S&B 124gr (no +P designation) – 1181fps (360m/s)
I tend to trust GA and CB’s data because they are smaller companies that are specifically marketing these loads for defensive purposes.
What’s your opinion or experience? FYI, I shoot a lot of S&B and Fiocchi since it seems to be very high quality stuff and Cheaper Than Dirt always has it pretty cheap. I recently picked up a case of Fiocchi 9mm 123gr fmj and it does seem to shoot pretty strong, but I have no means to measure it.
