The review doesn't look to favorably towards it. Any one with first hand information on this ammo.
One review isn't enough for me not to buy some but, I would like some other first hand account reviews of the ammo.

Never used the Fiocchi, but the Aguila is decent enough ammunition. Use it for range time; it's consistent and goes bang.

Ive used foicchi 357 ammo before. It was their truncated cone ammo, around 125 grains I believe. Worked perfect, I still use the brass to reload. It was a tad softer shooting than 125 gr PMC ammo.

Fiocchi ammo that I have used in 38 special was hotter than our American +P fodder. The Italians don't mess around with their ammo.

I've ran fiocchi in several handgun calibers, it's good stuff guys. And in most calibers it's loaded on the warm side.
European ammo is frequently loaded to higher velocities (and pressures) than American ammo. Fewer lawyers suing people.
I have a batch of 7x57 made in Belgium from the 1970s that uses a 129 grain bullet that I have clocked at 2925 FPS. Much hotter than anything from Winchester or Remington. Amazingly consistent with a variation of only about 10 FPS it is very accurate in my Mauser and Ruger rifles.
