From Fiocchi of America, Inc.

-- In keeping with its more than 130-year-old tradition of selecting only the finest components for its products, Fiocchi Ammunition has engineered two new .308 Win. cartridges.

Utilizing the high-performance SST bullet, the new Extrema rifle hunting line loads are the 308HSA .308 Win. cartridge loaded with the 150-grain SST bullet, and the 308HSC loaded with the 180-grain SST bullet.

The Fiocchi .308 HSA with the 150-grain SST bullet leaves the muzzle at 2,820 fps (from a 24-inch barrel). At 100-yards it loses little momentum, still cutting the air at 2,610 fps. In terms of energy, the 150-grain load pushes out of the muzzle at 2,650 ft./lbs. and at 100 yards it still produces 2,270 ft./lbs.

The Fiocchi .308 HSC loaded with the 180-grain bullet leaves a 24-inch barrel at 2,620 fps and loses little speed at 100 yards while still moving at 2,240 fps. At the muzzle, the 180-grain load delivers a commanding 2,745 ft./lbs. and still delivers an impressive 2,350 ft./lbs. at 100 yards.
