Fiocchi 9mm ammo

[HansGruber]

Fiocchi appears to have brass jacketed bullets instead of copper. Perhaps its just a different alloy, afterall brass is an alloy of copper that might appear more brassish. I've noticed a lot of cheap AMSCOR has brass jacketed bullets as well.

I can't find anything about barrel wear using brass jacketed rounds instead of copper.

I have not shot a lot of Foicchi or AMSCOR, but what little I did, I had no malfunctions or duds.
MV seems to be average, that is one things about Brazer Brass seems to be on the low side, but not enough to through accuracy when I have used it.

Only times I have encountered Duds was 9mm from a unheard of brand that was bottom of the barrel cheap.

Its just the bi-metal bullets, basically copper plated mild steel jacket that most believe will increase wear on a barrel, and there is some evidence behind it, not totally conclusive evidence, and it is evidence of faster wear not ruining the barrel.

I’ve had WWB bulk packs with both yellow (“brass”) and reddish (“copper”) bullets…there’s really no difference.

Same with most other bulk blaster ammo.

Same with Fiocchi…it’s a literal non-issue.

It's a quality brand similar to Magtech

I’d call that accurate, as far as US made Fiocchi; I think the Italian made Fiocchi is a bit higher quality than the US manufactured. The mouse gun Italian stuff definitely tends to run warmer.

I've run both with no problems. You're right about their Italian manufactured ammo vs. the US made rounds. I buy whichever one I get the best price on for range use.

I bought a case of Fiocchi 115gr a couple of years ago, no issues, and I like it better than WWB as far as cleanliness. If you can get 124gr Fiocchi, ever better.

All my 9mm's like the 124 grain better than the 115 as well so that's what I shoot at the range. My EDC ammo is a different brand but same weight.
