SHOT 2023: New Ammo From Fiocchi

Having the correct ammunition for defensive use isn’t just important, it’s a must. If you’re a fan of the 4.6x30mm, we have great news: Fiocchi is adding a self-defense round to their ammunition lineup. They are also adding 28-gauge Waterfowl Bismuth.

The newest addition to the 4.6x30mm family is the Hyperformance, a hollow point created specifically for defensive purposes. Whether you’re in the market for a new gun or looking for more ammo for your existing 4.6x30mm, Fiocchi Hyperformance 4.6x30mm 38-grain THP (tipped hollow point) is well worth a closer look.

Fiocchi has a global reputation for their production of ammunition and manufactures everything from defensive to target to hunting ammunition. In order to expand their existing line of 4.6x30mm ammunition, the ammo maker is adding a Hyperformance load that’s meant for self-defense purposes. The Hyperformance line of centerfire ammunition is proven as a top performer in numerous other calibers, making the 4.6x30mm an addition worth running in your defensive gun.

This new 4.6x30mm Hyperformance tipped hollow point joins Fiocchi’s other 4.6x30mm offerings including FMJ Range Dynamics and jacketed soft point Defense Dynamics. The new Fiocchi Hyperformance load has a tipped hollow point for reliable expansion and is designed for consistent weight retention and superior ballistics. According to Fiocchi this is a high-velocity, low-recoil round capable of producing impressive terminal performance. This round was specifically created for personal defense carbines and has a 38-grain bullet.

With Fiocchi’s full line of 4.6x30mm ammunition you can do it all from honing skills using their full metal jacket training loads to choosing from their defensive options. And now there are even two defensive options, making the line even more comprehensive. The new Hyperformance defensive load is a solid choice and offers good ballistics. According to Fiocchi, it produces a muzzle velocity of 1950 feet per second. It promises to deliver on the fronts so vital to defensive use: reliable performance, cycling, accuracy, and even soft recoil. Less recoil means mitigated felt recoil and muzzle rise which directly translates to improved accuracy on target.

Also new from Fiocchi is an expansion of their popular Golden Waterfowl Bismuth line of shotshells. The trusted waterfowl load is now offered in 28 gauge, which is great news for sub-gauge fans. Fiocchi Golden Waterfowl Bismuth 28 gauge is loaded in 3-inch shotshells with #4 shot and produces a reported velocity of 1350 feet per second. This is a lighter shooting yet effective load.
