Mods : not sure if correct category, could not find better, please move if needed, thanks

Are Fiocchi corrosive in general? I had some new percussion caps about 30 years ago and they were corrosive. Any info on primers? thanks all

I do not know about the percussion caps. there large rifle, small rifle, shotgun primers are not as far as I have seen.
these are all within the last couple of years.

Not a lot of reason for non-corrosive percussion caps since black powder and all of its substitutes are corrosive anyway.

Thanks, but I am really interested in the primers. Any thoughts?

I doubt that any of the primers from Fiocchi are corrosive. But I was not successful for a quick search in finding any information on Fiocchi primers or percussion caps.
Most of the west european nations quit using corrosive materials materials in their priming many years ago. But we know that was not true of the military. I believe some US small ammo was corrosive until the early 1950's and the 30 US carbine was always non-corrosive.

I bought Fiocchi SR primers for use in .357 and .38 Super. They work quite well, so far as I've noticed. No corrosion displayed.
