Any opinions on Fiochi primers?

The primers in Fiocchi ammo work I see no reason for their component primers not to work.

Good stuff. no problems.

If I have been happy with the last 15,000 Wolf primers, and 5,000 Tula primers, I'd have no qualms about trying Fiochi since they are considered a "better" brand. I have a pretty utilitarian view of primers. I basically look at price, then I look at price.

BTW, Powder Valley Inc is selling Wolf for $15.50 per thousand.

Found some Fiochi primers for 22 bucks a thousand so I picked'em up.

That's a good price on the Wolf and I saw where they had Tula's for twenty so I may go that route on my next run. I have had such good luck with the Winchester's I was hesitant to try another brand but I"m trying to shoot more so gotta get the cost down.

For range, competition, and blasting ammo I'm not too picky about the brand of primers I use. For "it's gotta work or else" ammo (hunting, high accuracy, self defense, etc.) I prefer Federal, Remington, Winchester or CCI, in that order.

I use the small rifle primers in the 223 for the ar15, everyone has gone bang. I even tried a few in some 9mm and 380 cases to see if they would work and they did. I found them n sale a couple of years ago for 24.00 for 1500 so I bought 2 boxes.

Fiocchi factory ammo is on my blacklist because I have an unacceptable dud rate.
