New Fiocchi Big Game and Waterfowl Loads

Hunters have new ammunition from renowned ammunition manufacturer Fiocchi to try out in the 2023 hunting seasons. There are two new loads being added to the Fiocchi family: KnockDown, designed for big game, and an expansion of Flyway, for waterfowl hunters. These loads are designed to give hunters successful seasons with superior results on target, and that means full freezers—which is always a welcome result.

Fiocchi KnockDown is made to take the company’s centerfire rifle line to the next level of performance. The new load design blends premium components and a precision-engineered monolithic bullet for decisive, effective shots on big game. KnockDown is meant to do exactly as its name suggests: drop big game ethically and quickly. It’s being produced in a variety of calibers, so it’s likely that your favorite is available.

This ammunition utilizes the company’s EnviroShield technology with an all-copper hollow point bullet. The round is designed to deliver impressive ballistics with the results being fantastic accuracy on target. The bullet is made for controlled expansion and devastating penetration, even in the toughest game animals—all with excellent energy transfer. Adding to that impact is Fiocchi’s proprietary powder which is made to burn cleaner and hotter that most. Every component of these rounds is made to deliver consistent results on game at high velocities. The fact that KnockDown is also designed to reduce barrel fouling is simply an added bonus.
