Fiocchi Ammo For Sale
Overview of Fiocchi Ammo
Founded in 1876 by Giulio Fiocchi in Lecco, Italy, Fiocchi Ammunition has grown into one of the most respected names in the industry. Giulio, an accountant by trade, recognized an opportunity when sent to collect on a loan from a struggling black powder and musket manufacturer. Convincing his brother Giacomo to partner with him, Giulio transformed the business into a leading ammunition manufacturer.
Fiocchi Italy: Early Innovations and Worker Welfare
Fiocchi began by producing reloadable primer cases and transitioned to complete cartridges in the 1890s, embracing new technologies like smokeless powder. The company also became a pioneer in worker welfare, providing affordable housing, nurses, and childcare for employees—initiatives that continue today. During the early 20th century, Fiocchi expanded into ammunition for sporting, hunting, and military use.
Rebuilding After WWII
During World War II, Fiocchi’s factory was seized by German forces and later destroyed by Allied bombing in 1945. Undeterred, the Fiocchi family rebuilt the factory in 1946 without external aid, leveraging modern facilities to produce cutting-edge ammunition. This resilience enabled the company to thrive through the 1950s and 60s, developing partnerships that expanded their global reach.
Fiocchi’s Product Line
Fiocchi produces high-quality ammunition for a wide range of applications, including:
- Shotgun shells: For world-class competitions.
- Centerfire cartridges: For sport and defense.
- Rare collector calibers: Like the .455 Webley.
The company is also known for innovations like Cyalume Chemtracer shotgun shells, the Canned Heat line, and NATO-spec certified ammunition. Fiocchi cartridges have even been used in Olympic victories in Athens (2004) and Beijing (2008).
Fiocchi of America: “Italian by Birth, American by Choice”
In 1983, Carlo Fiocchi, great-grandson of the founder, established Fiocchi of America to meet growing demand in the U.S. By the mid-1980s, a manufacturing plant was built in the Ozarks near Springfield, Missouri. Today, over 75% of the ammunition Fiocchi sells in the U.S. is produced domestically, cementing its reputation as a premium yet accessible brand. Among their most popular domestic offerings is the Fiocchi 9mm 115gr FMJ, a high-volume range round trusted by competitive shooters and everyday range-goers alike. It’s just one option in our deep catalog of Fiocchi 9mm ammo, which spans everything from budget FMJ range fodder to XTP-loaded defensive rounds.
A Legacy of Quality
Fiocchi remains a family-run business, now in its fourth and fifth generations. With a history spanning over 140 years, the company continues to innovate while maintaining its Italian roots and commitment to excellence. Whether for competitive shooting, hunting, or collecting rare calibers, Fiocchi stands out as a trusted name in ammunition.
For varmint and predator hunters, Fiocchi offers high-performance centerfire rifle ammunition including .22-250 ammo, delivering the flat trajectory and accuracy the cartridge is known for.

Fired around 100 rounds from a 1854 lever action. Rounds failed to feed or got stuck every now and then. Unsure of whether that's due to the rifle being new or the ammo not being good

F said:
Ammo it loded hot just how I like it. Yes its not HP or JHP but since it has significantly more energy than avg 357 Magnum Ammo I feel I dont need it to be HP to get good effect. Also its among the least expensive Brass .357 Magnum Ammo while still performing quite well. What's not to like?

This is the ammo I've decided to use in my handgun. Given the velocity, the recoil is smooth, consistent and manageable. I'm on target with Fiocchi.

Doug said:
This ammo would not function two rounds in a row in my firearm. I had problems with rounds loading from the magazine, and I had rounds fail to eject cleanly. I did shoot some one at a time and the accuracy was not up to snuff with other brands. This pistol can be finicky with this type of bullet, but it really didn't like this load.

I have used other Fioochi ammo with my .357 handgun and my carbine with no problems and this ammo continues that excellent performance. Shoots well and fed without a hitch.

Henry said:
It’s exactly what I expected, felt the power and recoil was quite manageable. First time I shot my S&W Model 66 and Wow!! Ammo performance was great!

JC said:
I’ve used the Fiocchi 142 gr and this 158 gr (both FMJ) has hardly any additional recoil despite the higher weight bullet. Unfortunately with this coronavirus situation all ammo prices are higher than before or I would have rated price better.

Excellent ammo. Shot several hundred rounds from from my GP-100, Ruger Redhawk .357, and Henry Big Boy Steel with no problems. Great ballistics, and very accurate. Will buy again.

I am VERY picky about the ammo I buy. I am looking for foot pounds of energy. Fiocchi delivers! I live in the foothills west of Denver,with the mountain lions and the bears. When I walk my pooch, my Ruger Redhawk 44 mag travels with me. I have run into bears, mountain lions, and I think a wolf one night. This is where the energy of the 44 mag comes in.

I got a box of this stuff, and from the free container to the packaging to the asthetics of the ammo it looks like this company may be a very promissing ammo provider. I wish they would only add in a few more grains.

Good ammo , shoots well with no problems, on the target where i aim at 50 yards, shooting out of my galil pistol. Shipping was fast and a good price.

4 inch groups at 100 yds. 8 inch groups at 200. I had an expert confirm with my LMT platform. We double checked barrel lugs, optic lugs. I switched to Federal and groups were less than 2 inches at 100yds. Day after I had a gunsmith re-check barrel and optics. All checked out.
