Product Overview
The Fiocchi Hyperformance .243 Winchester loads Hornady's 95-grain SST bullet at 2950 feet per second, producing 1899 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. This collaboration brings together Italian ammunition craftsmanship with one of America's most popular hunting bullets. The SST (Super Shock Tip) features a polymer tip over a lead core with Hornady's InterLock ring—a raised band inside the jacket that mechanically locks the core in place during expansion.
The SST design delivers rapid expansion with reliable weight retention. The secant ogive profile and boat tail base give this bullet a G1 BC of 0.355, providing predictable trajectories at hunting distances. The bright red polymer tip does double duty—it improves aerodynamics while driving back into the lead core on impact to initiate expansion. The InterLock ring prevents the jacket from separating, keeping the bullet together as it transfers energy.
This ammunition works well for deer and antelope hunters who want proven bullet performance in a competitively priced package. The 95-grain weight offers a good compromise between trajectory and penetration for shots out to 275 yards. Hunters familiar with Hornady's SST in other calibers will find the same expansion characteristics they trust. The Fiocchi brass is reloadable for those who want to develop handloads using the same cases.
- Hornady SST bullet brings proven expansion and InterLock technology at a competitive price point
- Polymer tip improves aerodynamics while initiating rapid expansion on impact
- InterLock ring mechanically locks jacket to core, preventing separation during penetration
- Fiocchi's reloadable brass cases add value for handloaders
- Velocity of 2950 fps is slightly lower than some competing 95-grain loads
- SST's aggressive expansion may cause more meat damage than controlled-expansion designs on close shots
- Not as widely distributed as ammunition from major domestic manufacturers
- InterLock design, while reliable, doesn't match true bonded bullets for weight retention on heavy bone
