    Fiocchi 55 Grain SP


    Guys and Gals,

    Just started shooting these as a slightly "Harder Hitting" round.

    I have a Model 10 1-9 Twist .223 and it loves these little rounds.

    3 Shots nearly touching with a 9 power scope at 117 meters means that they will be used to shoot heavy bodied Goats and smaller Deer (In NZ) as there is no legal calibre limit here.


    If you are looking for a well priced SP that hits pretty hard then give them a try. (No I do not recommend shooting large game with them)

    Do you handload? If so and you really want a hard hitting round, work up a load for the Sierra 65 grain Game King bullet. This bullet was specifically designed for shooting roo's in the Australian market and it hits like a high speed freight-train with an attitude. At 22-250 velocities it dang near punches through 1/2" plate steel at 200 yards.
