I've never shot any of the .223 but I've used some other Fiocchi stuff and never have had any problems.

Good to go.
Is it 300/k good?

At this time I think almost anything is $300/k good. I'd get it.

Just don't expect match accuracy out of it.

Hi,
Cabella's had an internet special of $19.99 per 50 of the Italian stuff (Fiocchi .223) and I bought about 800 rounds over a period of a few weeks - using them on paper targets over a 4-week period. They went down the tube of my milspec DPMS AP-4 (16 inch Carbine chambered in 5.56) about the same as the bulk .223 PMC (Korean) stuff I was buying for $379/k. They delivered a larger pattern though than Federal 5.56 NATO M-193 (or maybe it was just the shooter - free standing - iron sights - 25 meters). I caution against WOLF or BEAR (Russian) ammo in an AR-15 variant as it has a steel shell casing with a laquor coating that can melt onto your weapon if the barell gets hot enough. I do not know if the same is true for a Ruger Mini-14. That bit of wisdom must come from much more wizened occupants of "the basement". And remember, it is a NO-NO to put 5.56 NATO rounds down a barell chambered in .223 (unless allowed by the manufacturer in his literature). I may be a "noob" at shotguns, but I am an AR-15 guy.
It sells out quickly, but you may wish to keep your eye on Wal-Mart for their Federal .223 at $39.99 per 100.
GOD BLESS THE USA
