Big Jake said:
Bought 100 rounds of .357 Mags for my 686, once the cylinder rotated around to the spent cartridges it would no longer rotate past them. Once I did get the cylinder open I could not get the spent cartridges out and had to tap them out backwards from the front of the cylinder with a rod. That being said, the 4 rounds that I got fired performed well LOL.

If you have a revolver ,,, Do NOT buy this ammo. I have a S & W 686 and every round hangs up in the cylinder!!!

Paul said:
The product presents a good value. I'm a newbie to target shooting, but I did notice that these shells stick in my S&W 357 magnum requiring a small block or something other than my soft hand to knock them out. Brass shells don't do that. I've had a couple of duds in about 200 rounds, but they shoot the second time around. I will buy this product again.

I have bougrt this ammo before, no problems, ejects fine, and shoots a tight pattern. QUICKER DELVERY THAN I EXSPECTED.

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.

Before I found this website I ordered from somewhere else and had an awful experience and had to wait 6 months to finally get my order and decided I wouldn’t buy online again. But I gave this a shot and am extremely glad I did. My order shipped right away and got here in like a week and I’m so excited

Good ammo.

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?

Extreme performance and superior energy transfer into target

DJ said:
Great range ammo.

Doug said:
This ammo would have gotten better quality rating but there was a lot of unburned residue left in the action of my firearm. I was shooting a Desert Eagle and although the ammo burned "dirty" this never effected accuracy or function of my firearm. It did function without interruption and was surprisingly accurate for the price.

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.
