While this experience markedly reduced my cost of ammunition fired per hour, I'll not be using this brand again. By contrast, the Partizan brand has been flawless so far! Viva Serbia!

Similar results are often reported by others including myself; Fiocchi just is not hot enough , nor long enough for most .30 lugers to function reliably. But, some batches are and some lugers will shoot anything!
