I can only use it when I visit my dad. My home range is house brand only. >:( So, I was wondering if folks had any knowledge. Otherwise when I go see him I'll just stock up on WWB as usual.

"hunters will find that these new offerings through Fiocchi that the best italian expertise and top German engineering are a winning combination".
Just like in WWII. Not just one crazy guy, but two! Two great things that go great toghther. Next they'll be selling me on English vodka and Russian beer. ;D Note to PR department:think this one through.

No problems or concerns. Both guns cleaned up easily with nothing more than Slip 2000 and a nylon brush.

I'd buy it again for plinking.

Their ammo has been used in medal winning performances at the Olympics in both rifle and pistol. I don't know if the stuff their making for Wal-Mart is the same quality, somehow that would be difficult if not impossible considering the price. But I wouldn't look away if the price was right. The Wal-Mart by me had RWS 9 MM for $14.97. Not the best price by any means. I was at Cabela's this morning and they had MFS 9 MM, (made in Hungary), for $9.95 a box, (50). Bill T.
