I just scratch my head at people that will spend $2,000+ for a rifle (in this case an Armalite Super SASS), and then feed it the cheapest ammo they can find...

From AR15.com
Shooter reported no problems with WCC, but... da'ya suppose this crap might be a little too hot?

I have some Fiocci 308win 175gr that I have sitting in my safe because I am worried about shooting them. They are really short for a 175gr. They are 2.635in OAL while my Federal GMM 168gr are 2.803in OAL.

I'd send it down the barrel!! Bolt action or semi auto. If it is non corrosive I'll put it through the test. And it's boxer primed so it's reloadable!! Let me know if you don't want the brass. I'll take it off your hands. [Beer]

Good God. Not in my guns, thanks.

Wonder what they clocked at?

Those are good match bullets and run very well in M14/M1A's (which are very sensitive to overpressure). I would run them in my Supermatch all day long and be happy.

jmg8550: Were you referring to the Privi or the Fiocci rounds?

I was referring to the Privi Partisan Match.

Brass flowing into the bolt face... check.
Gas coming around the primer... check.
Primer flowing around firing pin / cratering... check.

Let's shoot the next 10 and see if anything bad happens.

I wonder if that was just a bad batch or something going on with rifle?

I've shot a ton of Privi and my BIL and his shooting crew buy that stuff by the case and have never had nothing but good things to say about it.

I think we should buy a case and go to town. What was the lot number on that?
