    I have been picking up Fiochii 223 brass at the range like theres no tomorrow.seems like no one cares about this brand brass.I resized some of it tonite and saw the flash holes are way off center.My question is if the flash holes being off center will hinder accuracy?I want to use the brass to reload 69 smks for my RRA ar15 20" 1-8 twist.I do have alot of LC brass aswell as Blackhills brass but do not want to use it just yet.any feedback on this brand brass?

    I use Fiocchi for my target loads in .308 and enjoy working with it a lot more than Rem or Fed brass thus far.

    The brass doesn't mush when worked and it doesn't stretch much at all when fired. I like it. Off center flash holes I don't know about, sorry

    If you're just starting out reloading go ahead and put em through the wringer as your starter set of brass before you move on to premium stuff. That's basically what I'm doing.

    ive been reloading for only a year and since brass and reloading stuff is hard to find these days, i rather use this stuff up.Im going to try out 20 loads to see if the off center flash holes will affect anything.the brass cleaned up just fine and they look like good stuff?
