Solved from this product's advertised 1200 fps, 200gr bullet and G1 BC 0.175, with the sight 0.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for 10mm Auto.
How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 4" vital zone, ±2" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 100 yards.

Product Overview
Federal Solid Core 200-grain Syntech is a hard cast lead 10mm Auto load made for big game. The lead is cast hard enough that the bullet does not expand, and a Syntech polymer coating covers it. It leaves the muzzle at 1,200 fps with 639 ft-lbs.
A 25-yard zero leaves it 1.2 inches low at 50, where it still carries 534 ft-lbs. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 13.1 ft-lbs, the least of the three hard cast loads compared.
If you're cross-shopping, Underwood's 200-grain Hard Cast is the same bullet weight 50 fps faster at 1,250 fps. Underwood's 220-grain Hard Cast matches this load's 1,200 fps with 20 more grains of bullet. Both leave their lead bare.
- A polymer coating over the lead, where both Underwood hard cast loads leave it bare
- About 7 percent less estimated recoil in the same pistol than Underwood's 200-grain Hard Cast
- Reaches 50 yards 25 fps quicker than Underwood's 220-grain Hard Cast
- Underwood's 200-grain Hard Cast carries 55 more ft-lbs at the muzzle from the same bullet weight
- Underwood's 220-grain Hard Cast carries 65 more ft-lbs at the muzzle
