Difference between red box and blue box Fiocchi?

[milemaker13]

Looking to buy some .32 acp Fiocchi. 73 gr FMJ.
Online vendors have pictures of both red boxed and blue boxed ammo. Both are marked as 73 gr FMJ. The red may be called 'classic' but I'm not positive about that. It may also seem the red box ammo is closer to $11 per 50 and blue is closer to $15 per 50. But maybe thats just different prices at different stores for the same ammo.
Is it just a packaging change or is the red box cheaper/crappier ammo?

Red box would not shoot 380 in my Kahr, the blue box would. I can't remember but I think I measured the red box and the OAL was longer. Fiocchi seems to be all over the place. Some made in US some in Italy and Hungary. And I think they are distributors for other ammo and put their label on it. The Blue Box seems to the the real deal and great ammo.

Red made in Italy Blue made in USA. I would buy the less expensive version.

Red = import
Blue = usa

Thats the conclusion I'm coming to. And I was mistaken about price (at least judging by the website pic). Visards and buds have blue box at about 10.75. In the very end, Visards is like $2 less for my same order.
My 4 boxes came yesterday, and my range is near work (and my cheapest membership only applies to weekdays) so Ill wait til monday after lunch to order. Just want to test it out in my pistol b4 ordering a case.

Do me a favor please. Report back and let me know where the red box say's it was made. And if possible measure the OAL. If it is like the 380 there is a difference. Also the rim size. Tks

If I receive any red box I will do that.
