It is what I have been buying locally a little at a time. Where are you getting it at for that price? Better than what I have paid so far on a couple hundred rounds. |

I have had great luck with Fiocchi across the board.
45 ACP, 9mm, .308 and .223 have been a good buy. It dosent seem to be that popular, but it is good stuff. |

It isn't the hottest round you can buy, but for me it's accurate and clean. The price you mention is fair, in this present day of ammo rapery.

A good friend of mine bought a bunch of it to shoot through his Rock River and he had no problems with it. I believe they used the good Hornady 55 FMJ. He gave me the brass for reloading and when i deprimed them I noticed many had off center flash holes. Not a big deal for plinkin' loads but I'm not going to count on them to deliver accurate reloads. YMMV.

When I got to the store, they were in the process of increasing the price from $17.95 to $21.45. The register already had the new prices in it, but they honored the sticker price since the ammo counter guy hadnt re-stickered it yet. Received the 10% off for 10+ box purchase, so $16.16 a box. I bought all they had, 1350 rounds for $462.50. If I had waited 1 more day, it would have cost me an extra $86.13 plus tax! No bad, .34 cents a round out the door.

I believe that's from a 24" test barrel. It would be significantly slower out of the typical 16 or 20" AR. Has anyone chronographed this stuff or of a 16" carbine? If it isn't too pokey, I may lay-in some for a rainy day. |

Yeah, any chrono-owners who can chime in on this? |
