    Anybody have anything good or bad to say about them? Since S&B are no longer selling separate primers, looking for bulk primers now. Thanks.

    I've heard nothing bad ....

    Even on the Enos forums, there has been a thread on them recently, check on this, pertains to availability I believe.

    I have used Fiocchi primers in small rifle and small pistol. I tried them initially because of their price and how many were in each case, 1500 vs 1000. I have never had them fail to fire and they seat just fine. I also have fired thousands of Fiocchi .223 Remington 45 grain frangible rounds in an Ar-15 and M-16 rifle. They have always fired. They were used by some Federal Agencies for training before switching to another manufacturer.

    I have used 10 of thousands of Fiocchi shotgun primers with no issues whatsoever.
    We probably fire at least 2 or 300 shotshells a week between me and my 2 sons. Never any problems.
    One caveat they WILL STRETCH THE PRIMER POCKETS!!
    In other words you can’t use Americans timers after you’ve used Fiocchi’s in the same empties.

    I reloaded 12K Fiocchi SPPs last year. I had no issues, everyone went bang I find them comparable in hardness to Winchester if you are worried about such things.

    I'll be using them in my PCCs and my STI. I'm not having problems with the S&B primers now so I should be able to use these. Thanks.

    And thanks everyone who replied. I'm ordering 15,000 next month.

    Powder Valley is out of most Fiocchi primers, and they say they won't be getting any more. Guess I'll have to pay a bit more elsewhere.
