5.7x28mm Ammo
5.7x28mm ammunition is deeply connected with the development of military PDWs (personal defense weapons) such as the FN P90 for which it was designed. It is a high velocity cartridge primarily used by citizen gun owners in the FN Five-Seven pistol. While military variants of 5.7mm ammunition are designed to defeat body armor, commercial ammo that you'll find for sale today is constructed for target shooting or (in the case of hollow point versions) self-defense against unarmored assailants.
5.7x28mm ammunition fires a very light bullet weighing about 40 grains. As a result, the cartridge's muzzle velocity clocks in at about 2,350 feet per second.
The number of manufacturers producing ammo for this caliber is relatively small. FN produces a load using Hornady V-MAX bullets suitable for varmint hunting or self-defense, while Federal's American Eagle TMJ load is the most cost-effective choice for target shooting.

FN Herstal SS197SR 5.7x28mm 40 Grain V-MAX – 500 Rounds

This 5.7x28mm cartridge’s 40 grain V-MAX bullet will cover all your bases, and its high quality supporting components come together let your pistol or rifle perform like clockwork.
FN tagged Hornady for this round’s bullet. The polymer tipped beauty boasts a high ballistic coefficient, so it provides the accuracy that satisfying range training and hunting both hinge on. The V-MAX’s polymer tip virtually eliminates dangerous ricochets!
The V-MAX’s tip also unleashes catastrophic terminal performance. The polymer spear rests on the jacket’s rim, and extends into the swaged lead core’s internal cavity without touching its bottom. That enables it to store up tremendous energy before transferring it to the core, causing violent fragmentation in the process.
This round’s casing is drawn and tapered to tight tolerances, so it chambers snugly, cycles with ease, and offers repeated value as a handloading component. FN’s responsive primer won’t fail your semi-auto, and their propellant clean and evenly. -

Do you love simple solutions? Then you’ll love this SS201 spec 5.7x28mm ammunition by FN Herstal. It’s no-frills range ammo, loaded with nonmagnetic 40 grain full metal jacket projectiles that’ll feed and fly exactly how you expect them to. And because FN Herstal designed this ammo to perform as close as possible to SS197SR, you’ll be able to fine-tune your aim without having to punch paper with high-tech V-MAX bullets!
This ammo’s muzzle velocity and energy were recorded with an FN Five-seveN’s 4.8” barrel. That’s not terribly shorter than a Ruger-5.7’s 4.94" barrel, so you can expect similar performance if you have the American-made 5.7 pistol. And if you have a PS90 (or AR with a 16” barrel), you can expect a 2,040 fps muzzle velocity and 370 ft lbs muzzle energy.
This ammo is reloadable. Don’t let the range goblins take its brass cases. Pocket them yourself! -

But you’re already converted, which is why you’re sure to really dig Fiocchi’s Hyperformance Defense series self-defense ammunition!
Fiocchi produces SS197SR spec 5.7x28 ammo for FN Herstal. This is fundamentally the same exact cartridge, complete with a 40 grain polymer tipped hollow point projectile. In addition to the bullet’s balanced lead core and concentric copper-alloy jacket, the tip helps to promote greater accuracy by significantly streamlining the bullet’s frontal profile. But the tip also remains functional after impact. It drives into the bullet’s concealed nose cavity, commencing rapid terminal expansion that transfers kinetic energy outward.
This smooth-feeding, noncorrosive, Boxer-primed, brass-cased, reloadable and American-made ammo is suitable for all 5.7x28 firearms, including the FN Five-seveN, Ruger-57 and AR-57. -
