| Never shot it. WTF is it? Worth 365 for 1K? Good stash ammo? |

I shoot it, and store it--great ammo. My personal fav was their 9mm 123 truncated FMJ "Combat" load that was listed at 1280fps. I got about that and more on my Chrono with my Glock 17. Accurate, reliable. My only complaint was that I didn't buy a few more cases and the 123gr Combat Truncated cone load is very tough to find--I haven't seem it in years, and Fiocchi says it's "returning soon." I have tons of the 115 and 124gr FMJ, and 147 subsonic--all work great. FWIW, there was a recent product recall for their 115gr FMJ--Google Fiocchi--it's on their web site. Check lots before buying, esp if it's 115gr. $365 seems a might expensive, even in today's market--I used to get it from Sportsman's Guide for $130/1,000--for 124gr FMJ. Even their HP isn't usually that much more. Last I priced this stuff on Sportsman's Guide the 124gr FMJ (regular, not Combat) was $188/K last month. Google is your friend--check around. |

If you're talking about the M193 spec NATO cross-circle headstamped 55 grain from ammo4guns.com then yes it looks good. I've shot 500 rounds with no trouble out of several 20" ARs. It runs 325/K plus shipping. I don't expect there will be much left if prices keep going up. This outfit is smart. They set high prices early, and sell as the market approaches their projections. I'm still happy everyone doesn't do that, so I can afford to shoot. If everyone priced according to where they thought the market was going, they both wouldn't sell much ammo and price fix the market terribly. |
