January 2025 – Fiocchi, a global leader in defensive, target, and hunting ammunition, is proud to unveil its groundbreaking Hyperformance SBR Enhanced ammunition series for 2025—designed to revolutionize performance for owners of short-barrel rifles (SBRs), patrol carbines, and pistol-length carbines. This launch underscores Fiocchi’s commitment to addressing the rising demand for specialized ammunition tailored to the unique requirements of compact defensive firearms.
As SBRs and arm-brace-equipped pistols continue to dominate the personal and home defense landscape, Fiocchi answers the call with ammunition engineered to overcome the inherent challenges of short barrels—reduced velocities, compromised terminal performance, and excessive muzzle flash.
Developed through exhaustive testing and advanced ballistic engineering, the Hyperformance SBR Enhanced series sets a new standard for short-barrel platforms. Each cartridge features optimized powders for a 100% burn rate, ensuring higher velocities for improved terminal effects, reduced muzzle flash for low-light scenarios, and diminished report when firing in enclosed environments—essential characteristics for defensive engagements.
Designed to maximize efficiency in barrels ranging from 11.5 to 7.5 inches, this ammunition is also suppressor-compatible, making it ideal for tactical and home defense scenarios where stealth and precision matter most. Fiocchi’s meticulous selection of premium bullets guarantees exceptional accuracy and consistent performance across all calibers.
Fiocchi carefully selected each bullet for its terminal performance per caliber, weight, and velocity. The .223 Remington calls on 77-gr. Sierra Match Kings — well known for high accuracy and excellent field results. For the .300 BLK, the Hyperformance SBR Enhanced taps the renowned SST 125-gr. bullet for supersonic applications and the 220-gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip for subsonic duties. The latter ensures good expansion at velocities as low as 900 fps. Finally, the new Hyperformance SBR Enhanced in .308 Win. incorporates the 125-gr. SST with an impressive velocity of 3250 fps.
