Fiocchi's nickel plated shotgun loads are designed with nickel-plated pellets for less resistance in flight as well as higher velocities for increased energy downrange and improved performance on target. Plus, the pellets penetrate deeper which causes more damage to bones and vital organs Where are Fiocchi products made?While most of Fiocchi ammunition is loaded at their plant in Ozark, Missouri, Fiocchi is also importing ammunition and reloading components from their plant in Italy because of the high demand the industry has been experiencing. All products are loaded to either C.I.P. or SAAMI specifications.
