Vince Green Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Fiocci is a good make and one of the biggest in Europe. Should be good. The American stuff is just getting priced out. Like everything on here some will swear by it others will swear about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minghis Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 £56 for 500 colin That's expensive - are you restricted for choice where you live or could you 'shop around' - it was only a month or so ago that I paid £37.20 for a brick of 500. To be fair I did ask for a better price that what they were marked up for in the shop (about £50 if I recall correctly) as I thought they were trying it on a bit at that price. I guess they may have gone up in the relatively short space of time though with the price of metal and the exchange rates, wouldn't be surprised. I tries a few Lapua subs a friend had recently, they're cheaper and supposed to be good but they were covered in such a thick layer of wax that I felt I couldn't possibly use them. Problem is, the old Winchester Subs are so good as an all rounder it's likely they know this and keep the price high knowing people will pay it.
