FIOCCHI 223REM 55GR PSP 50/500

Description

Fiocchi’s Field Dynamics Varmint line is built for hunters and shooters who push their centerfire rifles at coyotes, prairie dogs, and similar fast-moving targets across open ground, where a flat trajectory and reliable terminal expansion matter more than anything else. The pointed soft-point projectile is the right tool for that work: the exposed lead tip initiates expansion on contact, while the jacketed body retains enough structure to penetrate before fragmenting, producing the kind of rapid energy transfer that drops varmints cleanly rather than pushing them out of the field wounded.

At a muzzle velocity of 3,230 feet per second, the 55-grain bullet carries enough speed downrange to keep wind drift manageable at typical varminting distances. The published ballistic coefficient of .235 is honest for a flat-based soft-point — it won’t outrun a boattail match bullet at 500 yards, but it doesn’t need to. For the 100-to-300-yard shots that define most predator hunting, the trajectory stays workable and the terminal performance is consistent. Brass cases and Fiocchi’s own propellant and primer components mean the loaded round is uniform enough that a rifle zeroed at the range will behave the same in the field. The 50-round box count also makes it practical to shoot enough for confidence in your zero before the season opens, rather than rationing every cartridge.
