Details
This case of 9mm Fiocchi
ammunition will provide a superior shooting experience at a bulk price. Ideal
for everything from Luger P08s to Smith & Wesson M&Ps and Springfield
XDs, these cartridges use a balanced 124 grain full metal jacket bullet and
achieve a muzzle velocity of 1150 feet per second. The average muzzle velocity
belies the cartridge’s gentle recoil, a significant bonus in the long shooting
sessions made possible by the 1,000 round case. Each of the boxes in this
20-box case holds 50 rounds in reloadable Boxer-primed brass cases.
Fiocchi Munizioni has produced ammunition at its headquarters and main factory in Lecco, Italy since 1872. In the 1980s, the company embarked on a successful expansion to the US market and currently operates a thriving business from its American production plant in Ozark, Missouri. Fiocchi America’s facility produces shotshells as well as centerfire pistol and rifle ammo, leaving the Lecco factory free to manufacture rimfire cartridges and military ammunition for NATO customers.

Q: Is this Fiocchi ammo model number 9APB?
Posted On: 8/15/2022 By: Frank
A: Yes sir, that is correct. This is Fiocchi's product number 9APB.
Q: Why do Blazer's 9mm FMJ's bullets have a projectile coating that appears to be copper, whereas Fiocchi's 9mm FMJ's tips appear to be brass?
The prices are almost identical.
What are the metal/or alloy compositions of each projectile's coating?
Is one "better"?
What are the pros and cons (from a ballistic & from an environmental/toxicit point of view)?
Thanks

A: Hi Gonzo! The difference in the coloration is, as you guessed, in the alloy composition of the jacketing metal Although the exact alloy composition is a proprietary bit of information for the mfgs, the general rule of thumb is that the brass colored rounds use a 85/15 mix, while the copper colored is about a 70/30 alloy. As to the difference, there is very little either in ballistic or environmental impact. Years ago it was of a concern that the higher mix such as used with Remington's Golden Saber and the Fiocchi may result in faster barrel wear, but this was not proven out but rather that there was no difference.
Q: Is this a lead free bullet??? 124GR FMJ

A: Thank you for giving Bulk Bammo the chance to clear this up. These rounds from Fiocchi are loaded with an FMJ bullet which is a lead slug encased in a copper jacket. They are not lead free.
Q: What are the fps

A: Hello Jim!
Fiocchi lists the muzzle velocity of this 124 grain round as 1150 fps.
