Frequently Asked Questions
Buy 5.7x28 Ammo for Sale
Is a 5.7 more powerful than a 9mm?
Not necessarily. The 9mm typically delivers more bullet mass and energy, while the 5.7x28mm emphasizes higher velocity, lower recoil, and penetration. Which is "more powerful" depends on context—9mm has strong terminal performance for defense, while 5.7 excels in speed and reduced recoil.
Can you shoot a deer with a 5.7 x28?
The 5.7x28mm is legal for deer hunting in some states but is generally considered underpowered. It generates roughly 400 ft-lbs of energy, well below the 1,000 ft-lbs many hunters consider minimum. Close-range shots with precise placement can work, but most experienced hunters recommend a more suitable caliber.
What do blue tip 5.7 bullets do?
Blue-tip 5.7x28mm rounds typically feature a polymer tip that improves ballistic consistency and promotes rapid expansion on impact. The color coding varies by manufacturer — some indicate varmint/hunting loads, others training rounds. Hornady's blue-tipped V-Max is designed for accuracy and controlled expansion, not armor-piercing use.
Why is 5.7 so expensive?
5.7x28mm ammo costs more because it's produced in smaller quantities than common calibers like 9mm, raising per-round prices. Firearms chambered in it carry higher manufacturing costs due to specialized design and low demand. Fewer retailers stock it, which limits supply and keeps prices high.
