Federal FNH 5.7x28mm SS198LF 27gr Green Tip Hollow Point — 500 Rounds

The Federal FNH 5.7x28mm SS198LF is the lead-free hollow point training load in the 5.7×28mm category.

A 27-grain green tip hollow point with lead-free primer and projectile — designed for indoor ranges and law enforcement training environments where lead contamination is a concern.

At $0.70 per round for 500 rounds, the Federal FNH 5.7x28mm SS198LF is the most affordable 5.7×28mm load in the category.

SS198LF — Lead-Free Primer and Projectile

The SS198LF designation identifies the Federal FNH 5.7x28mm as a lead-free variant within the FNH load family. Both the primer and the projectile are lead-free — the complete round produces no lead vapor at the firing point.

The green tip is the visual identifier for this load.

In the FNH 5.7×28mm system, tip color codes the load — green for SS198LF (lead-free, this load), blue for SS195LF (lead-free, aluminum core). Both are training loads, not duty ammunition.

Training and Practice Positioning

Like the SS195LF Blue Tip, the Federal FNH 5.7x28mm SS198LF is rated for training and practice, not defensive or duty use.

It mirrors the function and felt characteristics of duty loads while eliminating lead from the range environment.

For law enforcement and military shooters at lead-restricted ranges, the SS198LF provides a compliant high-volume training option. For civilian shooters at lead-restricted indoor ranges, it serves the same function — high-volume practice without contamination risk.

The spec table currently shows 2,480 fps but lists muzzle energy as blank.
