Lately, when looking for primers, I have seen quite a few Fiocchi primers available. Has anybody used them?

I've used plenty of Fiocchi primers and they go bang the same as every other brand I've ever used.

I have a bunch of Fiocchi primers I bought in 2019 for $0.02 each on sale. They're fine.

Lead free... that will been interesting. I noticed that some lead free primed ammo had resulted in remarkedly clean primer pockets after firing. I load on a progressive but occasionally will just size and deprime a large batch and SS wet clean when I note the pockets getting really dirty. It eases my OCD letting me know that the new primers are seating properly without all the crud in the pockets and flash homes.

Whatever happened to the new manufacturer that was to open a plant in NE TX, Expansion I think it was?

Website says they are open and producing ammunition. Link to Primers is broken.
