anybody having any kind of luck at the patterning board with these shells???
At best for me mediocre. We can not use them on our release sites any more so I moved on. Their GF Turkey loads were to me not worth the price and ii wont pattern very well in three guns.
My 12 Gauge BPS won't eject any of the Fiocchi shells I've tried, after firing. The thin brass swells at the rim. No issues with my 870.

My experience mirrors yours. 2010 & earlier I used them for Pheasant hunting and they were super. (I have several boxes in #5 & 6 shot; both 16ga & 20ga). This year we also have gone to non toxic shot on all state game lands. I patterened them this past spring in one 16ga & three 20ga guns; as a turkey load they are worthless IMHO. I have relegated them to being rabbit loads just so I can get rid of them.
i rob Fiocchi Golden Pheasant #5 from loaded ammo for my Knight TK2000 :you_rock: Other than that its a great load in most guns, bar the ejection issue in some guns!
