Fiocchi, a global leader in defensive, target, and hunting ammunition, expands the company’s heralded line of Hyperformance centerfire cartridges with the introduction of a new series developed for specifically for handgun hunting and wilderness defense.
The all-new Hyperformance Hunt Handgun ammunition begins with the same quality components that form the foundation of all Hyperformance precision hunting and defense cartridges. These include precision-formed brass cases, reliable and clean-burning primers, and carefully selected and measured powder charges that deliver the kind of accuracy and reliability discerning shooters have come to expect from Fiocchi’s premium centerfire ammunition line.
Since handgun hunting and wilderness defense demands no-fail terminal performance, where the first shot must count, Fiocchi pairs its expertly blended components with the proven Barnes XPB™ bullet. This hard-hitting projectile is a monolithic copper hollow point that is noted for its devastating expansion characteristics, exceptional weight retention, and deep penetration — exactly the kind of performance that is needed to efficiently drop big game and to bring dangerous wildlife encounters to a decisive end.
Fiocchi launches the new-for-2024 Hyperformance Hunt Handgun series in the four most popular hunting handgun calibers today:
- .357 Magnum (140-gr., 1150 fps)
- 10mm Auto (155-gr., 1165 fps)
- .44 Magnum (225-gr., 1240 fps)
- .45 Long Colt (200-gr., 1010 fps)
ÂÂHyperformance Hunt Handgun ammo is available in 25-round boxes or eight boxes per case.

The 10mm and 357 magnum loads are weak. The 10mm should be at about 1300 fps and the 357 1400 or better depending on the barrel length. Go back to the loading bench Fiocchi.
I’d like to see them post the components they used for any ammunition they mfg. i.e., case mfg., primer mfg., powder mfg. and type and bullet mfg. My reloading books has these rounds performance velocity from high to low with the velocity in the middle to low range.
The 10mm 155 gr. at 1165 fps seems like a pretty light load when compared to Underwood 10mm 155 gr. loaded to 1500 fps. Or even compared to Sellier and Bellot 180 gr. loaded to an advertised 1164 fps.
Just like the word “Tactical” has come to mean “Overpriced and Underperforming” it seems like Fiocchi thinks “Hyperformance” means “Downloaded.” Take the .357 load Grigori mentioned – according to SAAMI, a 140 grain load should exit a barrel vented to simulate a revolver’s cylinder gap at 1330 ft/sec. Fiocchi at their website claims 1250. And who knows what they ACTUALLY deliver. The other rounds listed are all similarly downloaded. (Or maybe the longer bearing length of the Barnes bullets makes them harder to drive to full velocity?) Now, not EVERY round has to be full power – I download ammo… Read more »
It is really sad, how the ammunition industry has watered down many cartridges, but especially the .357 Magnum. A 140 grain bullet is a little “light for caliber”. That was my biological dad’s favorite carry round, decades ago. He considered it a good compromise between weight and velocity. Today, 140 grains at 1150 fps is just barely above Mach I. Why such an anemic loading for a cartridge that should be doing no less than 1300 fps, probably more?
