 Fiocchi .38 spl Brass ...... any negatives?

 

I'm able to buy some out of state once fired brass.

I haven't had problems with Fiocchi, but that S&B stuff gives me the winces when seating primers. I tend to set that stuff to the side.

Thanks Hendo, that's what I was checking up for.....I didn't want to buy 2000 brass of the same pedigree as S&B which is a PITA.

The only Fiocchi brass I have is from a couple boxes of factory .38's that I shot. No problems reloading it at all.

Never had any problems with Fiocchi .38spl brass. Now S & B and Amerc .38spl brass, I actively seek this crap out of my brass and throw it away...with prejudice.

Fiocchi and S&B have smaller primer pockets from what I have seen.  Reem them and use them.

I just get out the drill and primer pocket reamer for the S&B

Yeah, they're on a timeout in a bag under the bench. I figured if I run low on cases I'll revisit the situation and take them off of restriction. :D

Why is Fiocchi always compared to Sellier & Bellot here? These are two completely different companies with different products.

And no, Fiocchi brass haven´t smaller primer pockets.
