I am only familiar with the FIochi 209 primers (shotgun). I stay away as they are slightly larger than a CCI or Winchester primer. Works great in Fiochi brass or shotshells, not so much with American brands. I would assume the same issue exists for metallic reloading as well.
(Italian company with a factory in USA, however product is to Italian specs).

I like the Ultimatereloader and his articles/videos. Like I said, I cannot speak to metallic reloading, just shotgun and most folks stay away because of the size difference. If it works for metallic, then good to go !

Nice article good to know. There 10 cents a piece roughly before freight and tax. But if ya wanna shoot its not a bad price if you dont have any at all.
