We got some Fiocchi 223 Remington ammo, with 55 grain FMJ bullets.

It shot awful, and now I find that not a single case has the primer flash hole in the center!

Some were so far out, it almost touches the side of the case!!

I shot a lot of Fiocchi pistol ammo but no rifle ammo.

Haven't had this problem.

We have used their ammo before, and never had this problem.

I had quite a bit of these cases and was trying to resizing them for a test I am doing developing subsonic ammo.

well what to you expect from that thar factory ammo

Well, I had a friend here and he kindly offered to help size the brass.

He managed to not just break the recapping pin, but the whole decamping rod too!

Before he did that I decamped 3 cases, and noticed the off center holes.

But some were way off.

I have no idea how they managed to get their drilling machine so off center!

Being bloody Italians, I suspect they had too much vino

And as we are in the age of bloody PC, I don’ want anyone saying anything about me being rude to the Spaghetti eaters!

By nature I am normally rude to everyone!

Had a bunch of fired Fiocchi 223 that I picked up at the range, found the same thing.

Thanks for the information. roger
