<\/a>Fiocchi Ammo History and Important Information<\/h2>\n

Fiocchi Munizioni (Fiocchi Ammunition) was established in 1876 by Giulio Fiocchi in Lecco, Italy. It is one of Italy\u2019s oldest and largest ammo manufacturers and supplies centerfire, rimfire, and shotgun ammunition to civilians, hunters, and law enforcement.<\/p>\n

Although Fiocchi is not Europe\u2019s oldest ammo manufacturer (that tile goes to Sellier & Bellot), Fiocchi has developed a reputation as one of the world\u2019s finest loaders of metallic cartridges. In 1989 they received NATO qualifications to produce 9x19mm NATO ammunition to CIP specs, and their 5.56x45mm NATO qualification came 10 years later in 1999.<\/p>\n

Although the ammo factory in Italy remains the home of Fiocchi ammo, access to the American market has been a tricky path Fiocchi has had to traverse.<\/p>\n

During the 1950\u2019s, Fiocchi in partnership with Smith & Wesson, owned a factory in Alton, Illinois. However, Fiocchi decided to sell their portion of the factory back to Smith & Wesson and it wasn\u2019t until 1980 when Carlo Fiocchi helped put Fiocchi ammunition back into American shooting goods stores.<\/p>\n

On his honeymoon, Carlo traveled in the United States with the interest of locating a site for a new Fiocchi ammunition plant. Carlo was able to convince the then president Paolo to build a manufacturing plant in Ozark, Missouri near Springfield.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Today, Fiocchi is known for their high-quality ammo at affordable prices, Fiocchi is often used by competitive shooters who demand the highest levels of accuracy and precision. Fiocchi has really made a name for themselves in the sporting clays circuit, as they have numerous professional shooters on their roster including Jerry Miculek, Dianna Muller, and Lanny Barnes.<\/p>\n

Fiocchi Ammo has multiple lines of ammunition that are perfect for every shooting situation.<\/p>\n

For every day shooting or plinking at the range, Shooting Dynamics and Range Dynamics offers marksmen an affordable round that doesn\u2019t compromise on consistency and accuracy.<\/p>\n

For self-defense ammo, Defense Dynamics is the best option. This line of ammo utilizes state of the art bullet and projectile technology to limit over penetration while maximizing expansion inside the target. The result is amazing terminal ballistics that can easily defend your life should the need arise.<\/p>\n

For long-range shooting and target practice, Hyperformance Match ammo will make sure your groups are tight and you get the consistency you demand from match-grade ammo. This ammo utilizes the Sierra Matchking bullet, with unparalleled consistency and a high ballistic coefficient to ensure your rounds go exactly where you want them.<\/p>\n

However, for the hunting crowd, we highly recommend Hyperformance Hunt as these rounds are specifically designed to hunt big game animals that require improved terminal ballistics to ensure a clean kill. For varmint hunters, Fiocchi has multiple smaller caliber rounds loaded with polymer tipped bullets to ensure that groundhog or prairie dog doesn\u2019t escape your sights.<\/p>\n

No matter what type of shooting you\u2019re interested in, Fiocchi has ammunition that can meet your needs at a price point everyone can afford.<\/p>\n
