fiocchi ammo?
« on: February 18, 2011, 07:21:33 PM »
Fiocchi Steel Speed Steel 12 Ga. 3˝" 1 9/16 oz. 1470 FPS
 does anybody have any experience using this ammo and how did you like it
thought it might be pretty good stuff for a decent price but thought i would hear a few reviews before i tried it
Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.

I haven’t used their steel loads but I have used Fiocchi lead to break clays and it works as well as anything else.  Most steel loads are pretty much the same too and the Fiocchi looks to be on par with Kent, only a lot cheaper.  I’d try some.

Same here.  Have never used it to hunt with.  Cheap ammo for busting clays

This is predominantly clay-buster ammo. Gotta step up a tad for the ammo you will want to use in the field. Happy Hunting :)

Have you used it? Or just basing it on the price? I thought it was cheapo but I know a lot of millionaires in the valley that use it all the time. I killed a few birds no problem with it...

It's the only stuff that a friend of mine who lives in Kansas uses, he sure kills a lot of turkeys and geese too!
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

I used this ammo for the last couple seasons and I've really liked it. I seemed to have a lot more clean kills rather than cripples the last couple of years
