    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

    Been loading it in 300 WM for a mate and myself , seems to be holding up to quite a few loadings. My mate dropped some off the other day and one had started to seperate but held together, no idea how many times it had been loaded.

    It's shit and i still can't tell any difference on target. I ran plenty even flash hole is off centre. It took a 223 beyond 1000 with supposing success. Would i pay much for it no. Would i use it absolutely.

    There is a lot of it around (.223) cos with Belmont not supplying bulk its been a good lower cost option for pest companies.
    If you have the contacts and can get their used brass it's a good option. To me it's better than Belmont used brass.

    GFL is the only brass I sort into one line. Otherwise my brass is used mixed.

    I had numerous case head separation with Belmont brass in factory form and ARs and a few in bolts. Fiocchi is much better for sure. It's ugly agricultural and completely functional.
