    Fiocchi .357 magnum ammo

    What are people's experiences with this ammo brand? A box of 50 fmj .357 is going for 18 on palmetto. I am either going to get this or some PMC. I've used pmc before, no complaints (maybe a little underpowered), but how is fiocchi in comparison to PMC?

    thanks

      last time i used pmc .223 ammo it did not seem to be as hot as some federal stuff i had shot in the past. maybe i got a wierd batch. Do you have any experience with Fiocchi?

        I dont think ive ever bought .357 magnum ammo, its terribly expensive and so rewarding to reload, i suggest getting yourself a cheap press and not worry about ammo manufacturers. A properly dialed in .357 load will hit stuff at 100 yards no problem

          I have run 150 rounds of Fiocchi .357SIG and was very happy with it's performance on paper

            Yes - underpowered. Reasonably accurate for plinking, but no "wow" effect.

              Which for a .357 magnum can be nice...especially if it's inexpensive like Fiocchi
