SS195 and SS198 are exactly the same ammo except the SS198 is loaded a little hotter. I solved this problem by having more than one Five seveN.

The SS198 bullet leaves the muzzle of a FiveSeven at around 2000 feet/second, so it takes 30/2000 = 0.015 seconds to travel 10 yards. In that short time, the bullet only drops 16* (0.015^2) = 0.0036 feet, or about 1 millimeter.
