    Run about 750 so far. No issues. They’re good to go in my book.

    I've run several thousand and have several thousand on the shelf. No problems at all.

    tried the LP: I must admit that they work better than I expected.
    today CCIs cost four times as much here, but they never gave me quadruple X-rings_
    today, .430, scoped, kneeling, supported, from the bench, 25mt. _wimpy dacron loads_
    I'm sure the flyer isn't Fiocchi's fault

    Been buying them here in Albany at Sportsmans Warehouse. Same price as you quoted. Haven't tried any yet, but have inquired as you did, with no negative replies or reviews. We are only allowed 2 boxes per day, but getn'm while I can.
    If a 41 won't stop it, I wouldn't bet my life on a 44.

    Experience with only one box of LR (1500) worked well, seemed consistant. harder to ignite than Federal but thats not necesarrilly a bad thing

    Good to hear positive results with these primers!
    I bought 4500 but have not tried them.
    I figured that Fiocchi makes good ammunition so the primers should be good too!

    Their brass is not half bad, either

    I honestly have used more of Fiocchi primers than anything else in my life and would pick them over any other primer.

    I have to be the odd man out - I have discovered one issue with the Fiocchi SPP. They are too hard for my little Rossi snubbie to reliably ignite in DA. They work perfectly in SA, but DA is about 2/3. I had to switch to Winchester SPP or Fed 100s to keep the little blaster rolling.
    Other than that, I have had no issues with these primers.

    Thanks for the warning! I expect the same results in a tuned S&W revolver similar to the problem with CCI SSPs.

    I have an SP101 in 357 and they pop just fine in the 38s.

    Just tossing it out there for anyone reading.

    I bought a brick of 2,500 for LR years ago. They contain 250 per sleeve. Have only used a few hundred, but they were as good as any primer that I have used.

    I've used many thousands of their shotshell primers in the past but never even seen metallic cartridge primers from Fiocchi. The shotshell versions worked perfectly for me.

    They work well. I have shot over 12k of them. Never a problem. I still have some from before the shortage. Bought two case of 12k each. $350/12k delivered. Oh the good ole days.

    Another thumbs up for me. I use them in 9mm. No issues to report.

    I have loaded and fired about 1,600 Fiocchi spp so far. 100% reliability and feed and seat very well with my SDB. I will keep buying them.
