    Fiocchi Primers

    Anyone using these? If so how are they?

    Fiocchi ammo is fine so I suppose the primers are good. Not available where I am at to never tried them.
    To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, the trouble with many shooting experts is not that they're ignorant; its just that they know so much that isn't so.

    Got a box during the crunch, haven't used them yet. All of their products are good quality AFAIK.

    At one time the pistol primers were lead free, or at least the ones I purchased were.

    Bought a bunch from Midsouth Shooter, small pistol (they come in 150/tray). Can't tell the difference between them and WW.

    I have used them for years, 150K small pistol in all relevant calibers. Not one hiccup and they run smoothly through the Dillons(all models) I can recommend them without reservation.

    I also use the shotgun primers in the cases that have larger primer pockets, they are bigger in dia. that the win and fed.

    I have used some in 32 Smith and Wesson long and have had issues with pierced primers. I have also used CCI in the same gun without any problems. I also use them in 38 special and they have worked great. If you can get them on sale they're worth giving a try.

    I picked up a bunch of fiocchi percussion caps. never had a problem. from that experience I would not be opposed to using their primers.
