I picked up a few hundred rounds of Fiocchi 9APBHP today, along with 100 rounds of Asym Precision +P.

I have never shot either of these before.

Anybody shoot this? Any comments?

I have fired the Fiocchi 9APBHP load. Very warm stuff, surprisingly accurate, too.

No idea about the ASYM stuff. I do want to get some soon, looks like good stuff.

I've used ASYM in 9mm & .45acp. Good quality. Accurate and feeds well in my guns.

I also have had good luck with the Fiocchi.

Fiocchi ammo is good stuff. I still have some 7.65 (32acp) that was manufactured in the late 1930's part of Italian wartime military production. It shoots well in my Baretta 1935. The ammo and the pistol both came back as war prizes by my father at the end of WW2. I have also used Fiocchi ammo in about every caliber and it is little hotter than USA ammo and accurate.

I have had too many Fiocchi rounds fail to fire to trust it. Don't no about ASYM.

It isn't bad stuff.

Oddly, I've found the Winny 9mm NATO to be more accurate.

ASYM Precision is the precision ammo put out by Stan Chen and is intended to competition when every tenth counts. I haven't had a chance to try it, but knowing how picky Stan is, I can only imagine

I've very interested in how accurate it is for you...might I ask how expensive it was?

I've generally had very good luck with Fiocchi, but for some reason in .40S&W (the 170gr FMJ-TC) the cases don't want to slip under the extractor when feeding causing stoppages in my KaHr CM40 and S&W M&P 40C. Never a problem in larger pistols, no problems with any other ammo in these two pistols.

Why its always best to try a few boxes before buying cases.

Can't recall ever having a failure to fire with any of the Fiocchi I've shot over the years.

9mm,

I have used Fiocchi with great succes (meaning no problems), for a number of years now. I usually pick it up at the local gunshows for a fairly decent price.

Like everything else that is NOT MADE IN AMERICA it exceeds all design parameters. Something we never learned with cars or guns it seems! Americans are convinced BIGGER is BETTER.:rolleyes:
Ah, what are we talking about here, SUVs?

You show great restraint.
