Description
Fiocchi built this .308 Winchester load around Hornady's Super Shock Tip (SST) bullet to deliver the kind of performance that separates a hunt from a story. The 150 grain bullet runs at 2,860 fps, fast enough to shoot flat and hit hard without unnecessary recoil. If you're familiar with quality hunting ammunition, you already know the reputation Hornady bullets carry for doing what they're supposed to do.
Why the SST Bullet Matters in .308 Win Ammo
The polymer tip isn't just for looks. It forces the bullet into rapid, controlled expansion when it hits game, while the strengthened core-jacket connection keeps the bullet from falling apart. Hornady engineered an InterLock ring that locks the core and jacket solid during expansion, which means the bullet stays together and maintains most of its weight. That translates to deeper penetration and wider wound channels where it counts.
Fiocchi Extrema and Hyperformance Quality Standards
Fiocchi paired those proven bullets with American powders, reliable primers, and precision brass to build ammunition you can count on. The company tests these loads daily in extreme heat and cold to catch problems before they reach you. Using quality brass from the start gives reloaders second and third life from every cartridge case.
This ammunition works for whitetail, hogs, elk, and moose where you need accuracy out to reasonable hunting ranges. At 2,860 fps with a ballistic coefficient of 0.415, the bullet carries its velocity downrange better than slower loads, which helps at distance. Each box holds 20 rounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Fiocchi Hyperformance .308 Winchester 150gr ammunition reloadable?
Yes. This ammunition comes in boxer-primed brass cases that are suitable for reloading, giving you the option to reload and get more use out of each case. The brass quality is consistent with Fiocchi's standards, so reloaders generally find it reliable for multiple reload cycles.
What kind of game is this .308 ammunition suitable for?
This load works well on medium to large game including whitetail deer, hogs, elk, and moose. The 150 grain SST bullet expands reliably at hunting velocities and retains weight for deep penetration, making it a balanced choice for a variety of game sizes and shot distances typical in hunting.
What is the ballistic advantage of the polymer tip on the SST bullet?
The hard polymer tip initiates fast, controlled expansion when the bullet hits soft tissue. It also increases the ballistic coefficient, which means the bullet maintains velocity better downrange, shoots flatter, and delivers more energy at distance compared to flat-nose or softer-tip designs.
How does Fiocchi quality control compare to other hunting ammunition brands?
Fiocchi tests their Extrema and Hyperformance loads daily in extreme temperatures to ensure consistency before they ship. They use American powders, reliable primers, and precision brass, and they partner with top bullet manufacturers like Hornady rather than compromise on component quality.
