Velocity, energy, and 10 mph crosswind values are published by Fiocchi. Trajectory uses Fiocchi’s 100-yard zero and 1.5-inch sight height. Fiocchi publishes that trajectory only through 300 yards; no extrapolated values are added.
Bullet Design and Intended Use
The SST is a polymer-tipped, boat-tail hunting bullet. Fiocchi categorizes this load for big game. The official data supports direct comparison with other 129- to 140-grain hunting loads without adding unsupported terminal-performance claims.
