How do you like the Fiocchi? The price looks pretty good on them. 

I like them a lot. They light off on a 11.5# hammer spring (CZ Shadow 2) without a problem. I haven't tried 8.5# yet. I've loaded and shot at least 1k without any light strikes.

I tried some Fed SPM but they were not as reliable and the standard. 

 

That's odd. I find no significant difference other than 5-10fps..

 

What loading platform do you use to seat them?

I've been trying some of my regular 9mm reloads in  tricked out S&W929's with lightened springs.  I use Fiocchi non-toxic primers  (+ N320) and 70 rounds in (split between 2 guns), not one has failed to go bang.

 

Of course I have a large stash of Federals.... :blink: It will be nice not to have the lead exposure once I run through the Federals, revolvers get too dirty too fast!

 

{edit} Emptying the moon-clips revealed the Fiocchi ones sparkled inside and out.  The Federals were black + cruddy inside.  However there were plated (Fio/Frontier)and coated (Fed/bayou) bullets used.  I'll do a run where everything is the same but the primers.
