I ordered 4 boxes. Mad cheap @ $8.88 a box!!

Seems like a good deal by looking on line at similar . How do i know if i can shoot this out of my Taurus 85 revolver? I remember there is something about the +P, i just dont remember what it is.

So it's cci/Speer but no pic or details? Great deal, but what's the catch other than shipping? Very interested and thx for the link!

shipping not so bad @~15 for 1k.. $18 for 1500...

I ordered 1k rounds for $200 shipped ( charged tax in VA )

 

[Hynes57]

4 boxes cost me $8.99 ground shipping. Total for 4 boxes with shipping $49ish

I got $10.99 + $6 shipping surcharge for 500...maybe I missed something (not that it's bad either way)

Any trouble shooting this ammo out of a .357 mag?

I ended up doing the same thing. For that price ($200 shipped) you can't beat the price. Walmart is more expensive for non +p. I think the model 10 will have it's fair share of this perky stuff to eat

Has anyone used this company before?

 

[Hynes57]

In have some friends who do business and recommended it.

I started filling it all out but then did a search and seen that if you google FC38G it comes up with Fiocchi regular 38 spl. I then tried searching for comments about the place and looked at their facebook, Only 5 likes, seems like they are new. Since i dont really need the 38spl, i decided to pass, but i hope all goes well for the rest of you guys.

If it's brass cased factory (not reloads), that's a kick ass deal.

Other ammo prices are real good too. Federal bonded LE 9mm 135gr $28.00/50rds.

 

[Crab Bait]

Hope this doesn't end up like that too good to be true 45 ACP. That turned out to be too good to be true.

I ordered some and will hope for the best.

Yeah, I didn't notice that it was free shipping over $129 or something in that range until after I ordered.

 

[Meditator]

Yes, I saw the free shipping for over $129 order. I will call them to see type of ammo is this 38spl +p.

The company the OP linked to is Streicher's. They've been around for years and are well respected.

I agree with you about Fiocchi. Seems like bad info on that Streicher's web page. The description is +P lead semi-wadcutter hollow-point rounds, otherwise known as "FBI load", presumably the gray LE box from Federal. AFAIK, CCI Speer doesn't make it. $8.88 per 50 rounds for Federal FBI load seems too good to be true. Makes much more sense for Fiocchi FMJ target ammo.

 

[Boom Boom]

If it really is Federal FBI load, I shoot it regularly. Be warned that recoil is vicious, basically on par with or worse than many .357 Magnum rounds. I would shoot it very sparingly out of a non-.357 revolver. It's damned near unusable in something like a J-frame Airweight and still painful in a S&W Model 60. Even my S&W Model 66 gets rocked by it, compared to wimpy recoil from 125gr HP .357 rounds.

 

[El_flasko]

Huh, I ordered a bunch for the model 10 I bought. Hope it works out. Meh, worth a shot and if someone wants to try some and save on shipping I can dish some of mine out. Either way...
