As others have posted I've always heard Fiocchi is loaded hotter than American ammo but haven't found any factual info to support that claim. Surely someone has run some across a chrono?

As far as the OP's squib load I agree that you should contact the company. I had an issue with a 10mm load from DT. They sent me a label for the remaining ammo and replaced it with another box of my choice.

As far as not shooting any more Fiocchi that is a personal decision however, if safety is really a concern then one really should avoid all ammo from every manufacturer that has ever had an issue reported. Now if their are repeated, verifiable posts showing a trend with the safe use of a particular ammo or manufacture that's a different story.
