Just wondering if anyone has tried the new ammo offering at Walmart yet, Perfecta Ammunition. At $16.97 for 50 rounds of 40SW the price isn't bad. The box information reads made in Italy, 170 grain FMJ, brass case, non-corrosive boxer primer, but it gives no other specs.
I believe it's made by Fiocchi, but on the back of the box it says it's distributed by Tulammo. The Walmart that I checked only had it in 40SW, but I've heard others say that it is available in 9MM and 45 auto also.
I bought a box to give it a try, although I haven't shot any of it yet. To be honest I didn't see the mention of Tulammo until I got it home. It seems that so many have had problems with the steel case Tulammo that if I had seen that, I might not have bought it. But since it specifically stated that it was brass case and non corrosive primer, hopefully it will be fine.
If anyone has tried it yet, chime in a let us know how it worked. With the ammo situation as it is, sometimes you have to buy what's available, not what you want.

This brand hasn't made it to my WM yet.
Never heard of it before this thread (maybe because I don't hang out in the Ammo Sub-Forum enough).

Made in Italy distributed by a Russian company? Weird.....

Picture # 2 at the bottom says "distributed by Tulammo USA I'd say it's Tulammo not Fiochi.
tulammousa.com

Doesn't look steel cased. Says brass case on box. I have shot both tulammo steel cased and Fiochi. Never a problem with either. Tulammo is dirtier than most ammo. Clean up takes a little longer.

Because of steel cased ammo, it is last resort for me. My thinking is steel case would cause more wear on action, feed ramp etc.

I would try that for range use as for the brass case and lower price. Just my $.02

Looks the same as the Tula BrassMax. Tula ammo but its brass instead of steel.

Inspect them real good before u load them up. Tula is known to screw things up a time or two in one box.

I've seen spaghetti sauce with that brand name.

The reason I'm thinking that it is made by Fiocchi is that Fiocchi does make a Perfecta line of ammo (notice the similar logo with the crosshairs in the letter "C" of the word Perfecta). The Fiocchi website really doesn't mention it, and neither does the Tulammo website.
Any definite information has been hard to come by, but it appears to be manufactured by Fiocchi for Tulammo.

Haven't seen this yet up North. However i've fired about 100 rounds of TULAMMO thru my Shield 40, without any problems...

Brass case makes it worn a try. I tend to find a lighter grain is more accurate for the 9mm though.

Ive never shot bad factory ammo. Brass, steel case, nothing.

My least favorite is winchester. I dont feel it shoots all that Straight. But it shoots. So does tula. And rem.

All the factory FMJ isnt that accurate, but it shoots fine. Buy the cheapest stuff you can!

It does appear to be Fiocchi but not sure myself.

Please report back on the relative case wall thickness if possible for us reloaders who want to know these things. Thank you

I bought some of the 45 of this brand but I can't get to the range through the chest-high snow. Couldn't pass up the price.

I have shot the 9m and 380 with no problems other than a little dirty compared to some others.

How much a box?

The .223 and 9x19 both run well for me.

Same results here. Wife's P238 likes it.

While yu'all decide how or who made it , here is an add from fiocchi 's site in the UK and Italy say'n its there brand
Sporting ammunition - Fiocchi United Kingdom Inc. - Clay & Wildfowl Cartridges, Rifle & Pistol Cartridges, Pigeon Cartridges
Sporting ammunition, skeet cartridges, trap cartridges, clay shooting - Fiocchi Munizioni cartucce da tiro munizioni da caccia cartucce skeet cartucce trap Beccaccia Colombaccio

I shoot it all the time in my 9mm. I have had no problems.

I had issues with the 40 cal. Lots of failures to feed. I haven't had issues with other ammo the gun has been flawless with federal winchester and remington.

I shot another box of 380 today. I had 1 FTFeed. I cleared it and put it back in the next mag and it shot fine that time. That was the only problem I have had with 300 rds.

I first started seeing BrassMaxx last year. 50 round boxes that say made in Italy. Then came these neat little round "cans" of 100. They say made in Bosnia and Herzevegonia. Would seem Fiocchi was making the 50 round boxes for Tulammo.

I can only speak for 9mm Perfecta. I bought a box and it was awful. Nearly every round was a failure to feed. I even loaded a magazine back and forth with Brassmaxx and Perfecta. The Perfecta continued to fail to chamber the next round. But the BrassMaxx would cycle correctly. Straight up blue box Fiocchi won't run in my Steyr either.

Shot 500 + rounds of perfecta 9mm in my CZ p07 with zero malfunction and 350 rounds of perfecta 45 acp out of a tisas 1911 with out any problem. Me and my range buddy are going out tomorrow I have 2 more boxes of each and expect the same results

I had nothing but trouble with Tula Brass Max made in Italy. Multiple FTE Failure to extract. The fired case was expanding too much and getting stuck in the chamber. The smith at my LGS said the brass looked thin and cheap. My advice, don't buy it.

About two months ago I picked up a box of this ammo in 45 and it shot just fine. Since then it's always sold out in any caliber I buy. They Did do a roll back in Winchester though and I'm thinking because everyone is buy the Perfecta now.

Shot a box of 9mm through my M&P Pro. Dirty and smelled odd, but worked fine.
