Has anyone tried the new US made Fiocchi 9mm ammo?

I fired 200 rounds of 123gr FMJ at an IDPA classifier and had five failure-to-feed in my CZ-75B. My gun hasn't had a single failure with factory ammo for the past 3,000 rounds. I noticed the new ammo is made here in USA. Never had any issue with the older Italian made 9mm.
Oversized bullets maybe?
 
Fiocchi? New? Where you been Caseless? Fiocchi's been around for quite awhile now...Or did I miss something here??

The story I heard goes like this. The maroon colored box means outside the USA production, and the blue box means USA production.

What really hoses the OP's question is the assumption that he will get blue box ammo. Each time I ordered Fiocchi from SG, I see blue box on the web but get maroon box ammo.

Not a problem to me.
 
Halo...Sorry 'bout that. I think we tried to post at the same time and you won and I tried to re-edit my first post and ended up dubbling...It happens...
 
I have ordered blue box Fiocchi from Sportsman's Guide. Around February or so they had it on sale for about $155 a case. I ordered two cases, they tried to bait-and-switch but I stuck to my guns (not literally) and got it for that price. It feeds and shoots well in my XDs, is a bit cleaner than WWB and seems to be accurate enough for my type of shooting (Plates and SD Drills).
 
Looking at a blue box of Fiocchi now in 9mm Makarov. Has the Ozark, Mo address right above the "MADE IN HUNGARY" bold lettering. Date of manufacture stamped on the inside flap is July 2007.

BTW I've put 600 rounds of this through my CZ 82 recently with no failure of any sort.
 
A local range uses Fiocchi for their range ammo, I see a lot of it go downrange, and it is good stuff to reload.

Actually, I always scoop the Fiocchi 9mm Luger boxes and trays out of the trash, they are about the smallest physical size 9mm boxes out there. I like them to repack my reloads into because they take up the least shelf space, especially as compared to CCI or Winchester. PMC uses the same sort of box & tray for their Range ammo and PMC Bronze.
