How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 500 yards.

Product Overview
STV Technology 55-grain Scorpio FMJ is a full metal jacket .223 Remington load, and no application is named for it. What is inside is a plain lead-core ball round. It leaves the muzzle at 3,248 fps with 1,289 ft-lbs.
Estimated recoil matches the other 55-grain ball loads compared in the same rifle, and only Hornady's Black 62-grain FMJ kicks harder.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady's Frontier 55-grain FMJ-BT is 8 fps slower at the muzzle with 7 ft-lbs less behind it. PMC Bronze 55-grain full metal jacket is 48 fps slower at 3,200 fps, and Tula 55-grain FMJ is the steel-case load at much the same speed.
- The fastest start of the .223 ball loads compared
- The most muzzle energy of the 55-grain ball loads compared
- A brass case, where Tula 55-grain FMJ uses steel
- Starts 148 fps faster than Hornady's Black 62-grain FMJ but carries 34 ft-lbs less energy
- A full metal jacket, so it is a range load. Hornady's Varmint Express 55-grain V-Max is the varmint bullet at this weight
