I have 3 (2 Coopers and a Savage M12 LRPV) in 204 that I am going to start reloading for. So I'm looking for factory ammo to use to collect brass for these rifles...I have no experience with Fiocchi ammo.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as their is lots of it available locally.

I have ran a lot of Fiocchi 50gr v-max 223 and have had awesome luck with it and will continue to shoot it. Very consistent, great groups, clean, and very reasonable price.

I like Fiocchi 22 Magnum and 223, but don't know how consistent the brass is as a reloading component. Although it is a more expensive option, Midway is currently selling Hornady 32 and 40 grain VMax 204 Ruger ammo for about $17 per 20 and I have found Hornady ammo and brass to be excellent.

The only Fiocchi I've used is .223 loaded with 40 gr V-Max, it is sub moa in my rifle. 2 loadings on some of the brass with no issues (but I don't push the limit).

Diito with 71 gr SMK in the 223. Reloads great. As an aside I have shot 1000s of 12 bore Fiocchi 1 oz loads in sporting clays, also great ammo.

My experience with the .223 40 gr V-Max load has been similar. I like it enough that I stocked up when it was on sale and have over 2500 rounds of it. And while you will find a few off center flash holes in the brass, I have loaded some of them 6 times and still going.
