I fell for the cheep price at Walmart also 9mm. had a lot that failed to fire out of my m&p 9. I even recycled and had a few still.the bitterness of poor quality stuck around long after the sweetnes of the low price was gone.

I've run quite a bit of .45 auto and 9mm through my 1911s and G19 / VP9 / MP5 with no problems.
I bought 500 rounds a few months ago in Pennsylvania. Only shot 100 rounds of it and it's been fine.

Yes, I believe that Fiocchi makes it for Tulammo, who distributes it in the US.

100% correct
Perfecta 9mm and 45 is utter garbage. I have found that crap ammo has incredible variable charge. Some rounds barely leave the barrel....i have tried multiple batches and same issue. One round goes pop with no flash, next round sounds like a 1/4 stick of dynamite......no thanks i value my fingers and guns too much for Perfecta ammo.
for point of comparison, I like brassmaxx, steel tulammo or wolf....no real issues w lower grade ammo just the Perfecta I cannot stand it.

Perfecta 50 round boxes are Brassmaxx and made by Fiocchi.
perfecta, Brassmaxx and Fiocchi 50 rd boxes of 223 are the same.
the 100 round cans of Brassmaxx are diff, are you looking at those?
the 50 round boxes of Tula/Brassmaxx and Perfecta are made at Fiocchi. Box (which is smaller than most 50 round boxes )and even the plastic insert is the same.
View attachment 132690View attachment 132691 View attachment 132696---these are also the same 223, made by Fiocchi .View attachment 132693View attachment 132694View attachment 132695

The perfecta .45acp bullet and primer looked different when imlast compared them. Regardless as I said I did not chronograph any perfecta ammo. I would have loved to. My experience is summarized as 3 different times purchasing it in 2 different calibers and it was awful inconsistent. I have never fired the .223 perfecta and I never will. I am glad itmworks for,you. On the flip side, know guys who wont shoot any steel cased ammo and I have had no particular problems w TulAmmo or WPA. The perfecta ammo is the only brand if ammo I categorically avoid. None of this should really matter so much. I am done discussing this topic.
I just shot some tonight for the first time and have the same opinion. Stuff is garbage several FTE and felt way underpowered. I could feel the difference when compared to WWB and Federal that cycled fine. I won't buy it again

45 or. 9? I haven't shot the 45 but not 1 issue with the 9 in 300 rds in the last few weeks
It was the 9..IDK if in just got a bad batch but it was 2 boxes and was way underpowered so bad on first mag I thought I had a squib and just wouldn't cycle

Guess i'll have to pay close attention to it when I shoot the last 200rds of it. So far no issues in the xds9 and G26. Blazer Aluminum was an issue in the shield and Glock many months ago so I never shot it again.

Perfecta just showed up in the local Walmart. I picked up some 115 Grain 9mm last week. Ran 50 rounds through my Glock 34 without issue and another 50 through my Kimber Target II again without issue. Seemed accurate enough, consistent, no different than any of the other 115 gr target ammo I run for practice.

I had a couple boxes of perfecta, no issues to report in my glock 17. I try to stay away from it though. I have had awesome luck with BrassMaxx, great brass ammo for training. Also love the federal aluminum.
