Actually, that is only one difference - the other is the hull itself - they are either tapered or straightwall. Fiocchi, like federal, is a straightwalled hull, and you need to use wads designed for that type. You do NOT want to use wads designed for tapered hulls, as you will get powder migration past the wad and incomplete ignition, resulting in bloopers, bad pressures, lousy results, etc.

The top of the line federal hulls (like the Gold Medal) are good for reloading, their promo hulls are trash - most Fiocchis also fall into the trash category - you might succeed in getting one, MAYBE two reloads before discarding
