FN SS197SR 5.7x28mm 40gr V-MAX Ammunition, 500-Round Case

FN SS197SR ammunition (brand part no. 10700015) is the high-performance 5.7x28mm sporting cartridge loaded with a 40-grain Hornady V-MAX bullet at 1738 fps. The polymer-tipped bullet improves accuracy, expands rapidly on impact, and minimizes ricochet compared to a full metal jacket design, giving 5.7x28mm shooters genuine expanding performance instead of a hardball substitute. FN built the SS197SR for shooters who want their 5.7x28mm platform to do more than punch paper, whether that’s target shooting, competition, or hunting small and medium game. For 5.7x28mm shooters who want a true expanding load, this handgun ammunition from FN America / FN Herstal is built for exactly that.
