Fiocchi's .357 Mag. XTP Round Created For Extreme Performance!
New Addition to Fiocchi's High-Performance Extrema™ Pistol X.T.P.™ Line
 |
Fiocchi's latest entry in its new Extrema Pistol X.T.P. line is the .357 Magnum XTPHP 158-Grain round (Item No. 357XTP). The experts at Fiocchi Ammunition have created the new, high-performance Extrema Pistol X.T.P. line with the intention of producing the best possible defense and hunting handgun ammunition.
Fiocchi chose the X.T.P. bullet for this cartridge due to its exceptional performance characteristics of controlled expansion and down-range performance. This round's bullet design, coupled with Fiocchi's renowned nickel- plated brass cases, has been specifically engineered to provide trouble-free, completely reliable feeding and smooth chamber extraction. Fiocchi has balanced this round's fine components with reliably performing powders to obtain the perfect ballistic equilibrium.
Fiocchi XTP bullets are well known for their ability to expand across a wide range of velocities and are built to withstand incredible speed, yet still deliver controlled expansion and weight retention. Special construction of this bullet's nose facilitates and controls expansion upon impact. The bullet's cannelure is engineered to ensure the jacket and core remain locked solidly together during expansion. The result is Fiocchi's top of the line XTP bullet with its ability to consistently deliver the deep, terminal penetration needed for one-shot kills.
Fiocchi's .357 Mag. XTP round charges out of the muzzle at 1,250 fps and generates 548 ft./lbs. of energy. At fifty yards, its bullet has lost little velocity at 1,146 fps nor energy (461 ft./lbs.). At 100 yards, the round still produces an impressive 1,068 fps velocity and an impressive 400 ft./lbs. of energy.
