Product Overview
Fiocchi Hyperformance offers a polymer-tipped option for 5.7x28mm shooters. The 40-grain bullet at 1750 fps delivers 272 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Polymer tips initiate expansion more reliably than conventional hollow points because the tip drives rearward into the lead core on impact. This design also improves the bullet's aerodynamic profile during flight, helping maintain velocity at longer distances.
Varmint hunters appreciate polymer-tipped bullets for their explosive expansion on small game. Ground squirrels, prairie dogs, and similar pests don't require deep penetration. The rapid energy transfer that polymer tips provide ends things quickly. The 5.7x28mm from a PS90 carbine extends effective varmint range beyond what the pistol platform achieves, and this load takes advantage of that additional barrel length.
Fiocchi has produced ammunition in Italy since 1876, bringing old-world manufacturing standards to modern cartridges. This Hyperformance load represents their premium line, positioned between basic range ammo and dedicated defensive offerings. Shooters who want something more specialized than FMJ but don't need bonded law enforcement loads will find this polymer tip sits in a useful middle ground.
- Polymer tip initiates reliable expansion on impact
- Improved aerodynamics help maintain velocity at distance
- 272 ft-lbs muzzle energy suitable for varmint hunting
- Fiocchi quality from 150+ years of ammunition manufacturing
- Good middle-ground between FMJ and premium defensive loads
- 40-grain weight matches common training ammunition for consistent POI
- Not a bonded bullet for barrier penetration
- Polymer tips can be damaged during feeding in some magazines
- Less proven track record than FN factory loads in 5.7x28mm
