Fiocchi always goes bang in any caliber I've shot it from, but the accuracy is not on par in my experience with that brand.

20 minutes cranking the handle on the 650 yielded this:
200 rounds of 9 mili
EDIT: yeah, back in 2006 or 2007 the WWB value packs of 100 rounds of 9mm were right around $11 .

I remember buying that stuff for $7.50/box. Of course, I also remember ~$7.70 boxes of 40rnd WWB 223, and ~$8 boxes of Federal 550 22lr.

I've always avoided Fiocchi ammo. About ten years ago a guy that knows a lot about guns and ammo commented,
"they say it's noncorrosive, but it is". I don't know the validity of that statement, but the guy was right about everything else. |

The real "savings" show if your a range bunny or load rifle rounds. 9mm is not the most cost saving one to reload but it can be done for cheaper and higher quality than what's on the store shelf. Nifty cost per round calculator: http://www.reloaderhub.com/calculator.cfm Most start with a single stage setup. They are simple and you don't have much invested should you decide its not your thing. |

WWB is a few dollars more for a 100 round box. Feb 9, 2009 WWB 100 count from Walmart in Central Ohio was $13.49. So, yeah, it's been awhile since it was $11 a box.

Likely as a round identifier, bullet weight and powder amount were I to wager a guess. Just as a quality control indicator. I think I only have two of those 100 round flip top ammo boxes (I have more of the 50 rounders). So what I am checking for is that all the headstamps are all the same height, that no 9mm Makarov, or 9X23's snuck in there. And I also check for high primers by running the tip of my index finger across them. Then I run that stripe across them. That was a blue sharpie. I actually prefer a red Marks-A-Lot laundry marker. The red shows up better when the brass lands in the grass. I had made another brass striper that was just a couple of holes drilled into the edge of a 2X4. It put an ink "ring" around the brass. If I can make it to a real computer tonight, I think I have pics of it uploaded to my other photobucket. I based it off the hosercam.com version: Click this, then click on "shooting productd" |
