Description
The Fiocchi Hyperformance line delivers what you need from a specialized frangible load: solid performance without the ricochet concerns that come with traditional rounds on steel targets. Built with a 35-grain copper core and copper jacket, each round features a polymer tip that cycles reliably through all 5.7x28mm platforms. The lead-free construction rounds out a package designed specifically for shooters who train in confined spaces or need to minimize over-penetration.
What Makes This Frangible Load Stand Out
Frangible ammunition works differently than conventional bullets. When the round impacts a hard surface, it breaks apart into small fragments rather than ricocheting or creating spall hazards. For indoor ranges with steel targets, this is a game-changer. You get to train seriously without constantly watching for bouncebacks. At 1750 fps muzzle velocity with 238 foot-pounds of energy, the Fiocchi Hyperformance 35gr still delivers the speed and trajectory the 5.7x28mm is known for, just without the liability issues.
Fiocchi's Track Record in 5.7x28mm
Fiocchi didn't just jump into the 5.7x28mm market with a generic frangible round. The company has been manufacturing quality ammunition since 1876, and that experience shows in how they engineered this load. The polymer tip prevents feeding issues while the jacketed frangible design handles expansion reliably. Users consistently report good accuracy from these rounds, and the brass cases are reloadable if you want to stretch your dollar further down the line.
When You'd Want This Load
These rounds make sense if you're running drills at an indoor range, doing tactical training where ricochet safety matters, or working with a facility that requires frangible ammunition. The 5.7x28mm's low recoil and high capacity already make it appealing for training and accuracy work. Pair that with rounds that won't bounce around unpredictably, and you've got a practical setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I choose frangible ammunition over standard rounds?
Frangible rounds break apart on impact with hard surfaces instead of ricocheting or creating spall. This makes them much safer for indoor ranges with steel targets and tactical training facilities where multiple shooters work in confined spaces. You get the performance benefits of your 5.7x28mm without the ricochet hazards.
Will Fiocchi Hyperformance frangible ammo feed reliably in my 5.7x28mm?
Yes. The polymer tip design ensures smooth feeding through all 5.7x28mm platforms, whether you're shooting a handgun or carbine. Fiocchi engineered this specifically for reliable feeding across the full range of 5.7x28mm firearms.
Can I reload the brass cases from this ammunition?
Yes, the brass cases are reloadable. They're non-corrosive and use standard Boxer primers, so if you reload, you can stretch your supply further. Just make sure your reloading setup is configured for the 5.7x28mm's unique bottleneck case design.
How does the 5.7x28mm frangible load compare to FMJ or JHP options?
The frangible design is purpose-built for safety in training and tactical environments where ricochet prevention matters most. Standard FMJ rounds are better for general range practice and hunting, while JHP rounds focus on expansion for defensive use. Frangible ammunition sits between those roles, optimized specifically for steel target safety and controlled training scenarios.
