I bought a thousand rounds of the 300 BLK Fiocchi on sale somewhere. Shoots fine if a bit hot. Reloads just fine. Good brass as far as I'm concerned.
I've loaded a ton of Fiocchi 9mm brass, and have no complaints. Never noticed any issues with flash holes. I'm also not grasping the negative effects off center flash holes unless it's bad enough to cause decapping issues, which is apparently successful or nobody would know they are off center.
Actually, there are some works showing that flash holes do matter for rifles. You can see it in the pressure curves interestingly enough. It's one of the reasons that Lapua brass is better...very consistent flash holes.
Now if you use those crummy Dillon or RCBS dies who knows what may happen
And I havent had a single problem reloading Fiocchi while even swaged the lake city is a pain to load until one reload cycle loosens up the primer cup a smidge.No reason to go out of one's way to collect problematic brass. Sounds like Fiocchi should go in the recycle bucket. I have Lake City ranging from 1973 to 2009. Haven't had a bit of trouble out of any of it.
