Product Overview
Fiocchi loads this 300gr hollow point flat nose to 1900 fps for 2405 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The HPFN design combines the feeding reliability of a flat nose with the expansion characteristics of a hollow point. This makes it a solid choice for deer, black bear, and hogs at typical lever-gun distances.
At 300 grains, recoil is moderate compared to heavier .45-70 loads. The hollow point opens on soft tissue while the flat nose keeps the bullet stable during expansion. Fiocchi ammunition often costs less than American-made premium loads, making this an economical option for hunters who want reliable performance without paying top dollar.
- HPFN feeds reliably while still expanding
- 2405 ft-lbs handles deer and black bear
- 300gr weight keeps recoil moderate
- Often priced below American-made loads
- Low BC of .185 drops significantly past 100 yards
- Not enough bullet weight for dangerous game
- May be harder to find than domestic brands
