FN SS201 Target ammunition (brand part no. 10700031) loads a 40-grain full metal jacket bullet at 1700 fps, developed by FN Herstal specifically for the 5.7x28mm platform it created. The 5.7x28mm cartridge is known for high velocity and low recoil, and the SS201’s flat trajectory and reduced wind drift make it a strong choice for precision training at extended ranges. Each round is built for clean shooting, reducing barrel fouling and keeping function smoother across an extended range session. The SS201 runs in both handguns and rifles chambered in 5.7x28mm, giving shooters one training load across every platform they own in the caliber. For 5.7x28mm shooters who want a dedicated target load from the cartridge’s originator, this handgun ammunition from FN America / FN Herstal is built for exactly that.
