Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone uses or has used Fiocchi ammo? the local gun shop cant get Eley but he can this brand...ive never heard of it.

Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil Bell,
What kinds of cartridges Fiocchi ?

I recall years ago, Fiocchi was a popular hunting ammo.
I've never heard of it being used in target shooting... but hey, I'm only young.

It was widely used a number of years ago for target shooting, up till Ely became more readily available. From memory, it had a fairly high mv and the extra recoil was, for me anyway, a bit hard to deal with. For all that, it shot quite well.

Hey Max, It's made in your back yard!!

I looked at the site Fiocchi cartridges....it should deploy and perhaps build Fiocchi cartridges

In Italy Fiocchi manufacture many types of cartridges, especially for hunting and skeet shooting, big guns for handguns, ammunition of all types for NATO.

In our Country are dealt ,22 in 3 types for rifle and pistol ..... MAXAC for training ..... MATCH for training and competition .... SUPER MATCH for competition.
Until the 80's I used a similar type to the Super Match which were excellent as the Tenex but cost half the price, now I do not use them for some time.
MAXAC for rifle are too fast. MAXAC for pistol training is good for gun.
Try SuperMatch that should be good. In my club we do not use because the gunmen on Sunday only use MAXAC to spend little.

Yess Pete,
I know.....
I was wondering what kind of cartridges had seen Phil

Pete,
All of our shooters shooting big-gun only use FIOCCHI and then reload cartridge cases, very strong and reliable

Yeah, I think it was the larger caliber centre fire ammo I remember it for.

thanks everyone. im not sure what cartridges but he said its for target shooting including smallbore. hes gona get some in so i can trial it.

Hi Phil, there are a number of shooters from down your way who have used fiocci and some still do, Murry Reeves for one that I knoe for certain has used it in the past. Its quite noisy stuff on the range so must be getting very close to the speed of sound which may nit be a good thing cause if the projectile goes transonic it can become unstable and therefore may loose its accuracy. If you know Murry, have a chat to him, he hales from Oamaru, think he works at repco.

Phil,
What is the price of this stuff? Are there different grades of it?
You can be our crash test dummy...

Wheelz, I suffer from "fat finger syndrome" and sometimes they move over the keyboard faster than I can think so I can't keep up, I'm sure you are intelegent enough to work out what I wanna say

Hey guys, you're not a fight! Maybe you have bad shots (like me) this weekend?
Take a lovely herbal tea instead of tea or coffee ....... lol
The good shooter never loses its calm and not pissed for verbal banality or jokes / puns .
Join hands ... I do not want to hear bullets whistle!
