Seems to me that most of the problems with the Perfecta are with the .40 170gr, and failure to feed.
I am no expert, and may be way off, but the only thing I can come up with is that is has to do with the bullet profile, and the way its seated in the brass.
Perfecta/Fiocchi uses a FMJTC bullet, which is a truncated cone, instead of a RNFP. For some reason I believe this combo of bullet and brass seating may cause them to have a more pronounced lip and hang up on the rim of the case causing a feed issue.
I did buy a box out of curiosity to see how my Shield and Sig SP2022 would handle them. Surprising to me the Shield ran 28 without a problem, but I had 1 feed issue in 18 with the Sig. Not a huge deal, but up to that point, I had never had a problem of any kind with that gun.
Anyway, not a Rocket Surgeon, just my 0.02
Pics show the more pointed Fiocchi, and more rounded MagTech and Blazer Brass.
