edited November 2011 in Perry Shooter Competition Shooting and Reloading Forum
I'm going to be reloading 45acp now and was wondering if my 45 acp Fiocchi Brass that I fired as new ammo is good enough to reload multiple times? Or is it "junk"?

I going to be reloading Starline brass mostly, but just wasn't sure what you guys think about Fiocchi Brass.

Thanks. [:D]

    I like Starline and Winchester. Never tried Fiocchi but if its reloadable I would reload it. I use to shoot 45acp alot and I usually lost the brass before I wore it out.

    No problem, great brass. You will find it a little thicker then Starline.

    As with any NEW brand of Brass or Bullets load 10-20 rounds and make sure they chamber in the barrel of YOUR pistol . loading 500 rounds and then discovering they will not function is[V][:(!][:(]

    I'm going to try it out, and hope I can keep finding most of it after shooting. I'm getting pretty good at it now, but still seem to lose a few here and there. Lol. Oh well.

    I was thinking about a couple ways to make it easier, and there's one right there.

    Regular target shooting I'd stand at the front left of a large tarp, even then I never got all the brass from that AMT 45. However that does not work when running through the sage brush chasing rabbits or driving cross country in a 4x4 engaugeing rouge picket pens. I never loose brass from the wheel guns.

    That's what I like about my revolver too.

    I've used quite a bit of it and it is good serviceable brass.

    Well, I went with the Fiocchi brass and loaded up 14 230grain LRN bullets. Took them out to the range and they were on target. They cycled through well and so I was very pleased.

    Now onto the next 500 or so loads...[:D]
