Fiocchi Extrema .40 S&W ammunition loads a 180-grain XTP jacketed hollow point bullet for shooters who want a dedicated defensive round from a proven European ammunition maker. Fiocchi builds the Extrema line around Hornady’s XTP bullet, a serrated-jacket hollow point that expands in controlled, uniform petals rather than fragmenting unpredictably. The 180-grain weight is the standard .40 S&W defensive loading, keeping point of impact consistent with duty and carry ammunition in the same class. In handgun ammunition for personal protection, this is a well-proven expanding load in brass cases.
