Fiocchi 223 ammo

[Mark M.]

I see Fiocchi offers 223 ammo in a 50 VMax and a 50 grain polymer tip, does anybody know who's bullets they're using in the polymer tip ammo, thanks

Hornady bullets, everything else is fiochhi. Good cheap factory ammo

Both the 40 gr & 50 gr plastic tip loads use V-Max bullets and both have shot well in my .223's.

Can't add much more than what has already been said.
On the 204 note, I have nothing but good results with the 32 and 40 grain loads.
A good over the counter ammo for a good price, that gets better when on sale.

Yep. That stuff shoots surprisingly well! There was a thread about this very thing a few months back.

It's what I shoot in my CZ and my Howa, excellent ammo.

It's good stuff. My 12 twist Rock creek ar barrel loves it. Less than 40 cents a round delivered, I can't buy bullets,powder,primers,brass and time cheaper for varmint shooting.

Very hard to beat for volume varmint shooting.

I found the fiocchi shotshells to be the same way

Bought some Fiocchi primers on sale for 40 loads and though they seem to be decent primers, but they will miss a row in a box now & then. Maybe why they were on a super sale.

If you like fiocchi then you'll love adi outback 55gr blitz king . $10-$11 a box and .75" @ 100yds .

Fiocchi 40 and 50 shot great as did Hornady factory ammo in my 1/9 Hart AR15.
No targets that day just windy Panhandle dogs. The Fiocchi 40s were my fave. Seat o the pants they seemed really flat and fast. IMHO

I had the opposite experience with their shotshells. Was at a sporting clays course and bought a few boxes of Fiocchi ammo from the proprietor. Neither I nor my buddy could get them to chamber. The brass seemed like it wasn’t sized correctly. Maybe it was just a bad batch but it spooked me against buying their stuff again.

American Eagle 223, 50g Tipped Varmint uses the V-max also and is extremely accurate out of both my 223's. I'll have to try the Fiocchi also and see how they compare. The AE has produced many 3 shot slightly ragged holes at 100 yds so it'll be quite a challenge.

The ADI Outback in 69 SMK is also very accurate and quite lethal. Took a 160 lb bore last year with one shot to the ribs. Made hamburger out of his shoulder and shattered a rib before taking out his lungs. Quick end.

I was only using hunting ammo---never shot the light stuff--that would be bad at a competition!

Very true. I've also had good luck with the federal AE 50s and the outback 55s. I'm pretty lucky, my 100yd zero is the same for all three. I don't think I've ever had a rifle before that did that with three different brands and one With a different weight.
