Whats the going price of it? I just shipped back 400 rounds of the Lacquer coated ammo back to Wolf, and was thinking of using this stuff as the replacement ammo. My Wolf was $3.95/box.

I havent looked to hard, but I am finding it for 284/1000. It is brass cased, boxer primed. I will reload it. Any of the brassed cased stuff is more than steel cased.

i've shot hundreds of rounds of Fiochi 223, no probs at all.

cost me $250/1000+tax in Florida (B&H GUn Rack, Merrit Island, a couple months ago)

a friend of mine says Fiochi shotgun shells are dirty FWIW.

I think I'd rather stick with Georgia Arms ammo for $230/1000. I've been using their 55gr FMJ for range ammo with zero problems and good accuracy.

Yes. Their pricing used to be even better, but they're becoming more in demand & their business is growing. Still though, I think they have some of the best pricing around. It works well for me because I simply hit a gun show when I need ammo & it saves on the shipping costs. But their shipping is not too bad either.
