Their 2014 catalog shows 150 grain. They told me March/April time frame.

I am not involved with their bullet choice or load data. I am assuming that their load will be like anyone's 147 or 150 grain reloads except in new and good US-made 300 BLK specific brass.

March/April sounds great. More options = goodness.

Slight thread veer, but any ETA on the Magtech stuff?

If it's anything like their .223, I wouldn't say that...

I don't know anything about their 223 brass, but I doubt their 300 brass is related or made the same way. This is a new process and probably has more in common with their 4.6mm brass.

I hope so. Their 223 brass is terrible.

I shoot a lot of Fiocchi. 9mm, 45, 5.56, and shot shells, I reload everything except the 5.56 and have for years with no problem. I find their brass to be very similar to Winchester in how it acts when loading it. What problems are YOU having with the 5.56? I say YOU because this is the first I've heard of a problem. If there are more people out there with problems reloading Fiocchi I'd like to know.

Off center flash holes mostly. Other then that and the issues it causes with decapping pins, no real problems.

I haven't had any problems with G.F.L. brass in 223. I've gone through probably 500+ rounds, no issues reloading them or converting them to 300 BLK. Convert nicely, but am still hoping the Factory load will come in cheap, under $13 if FMJ .
