Magtech .32 ACP 71gr JHP Ammo Ballistics
Brass Case • JHP • MPN: 32B
Solved from this product's advertised 905 fps, 71gr bullet and G1 BC 0.134, with the sight 0.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .32 ACP.
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
Magtech's .32 ACP 71-grain JHP is a jacketed hollow point load made for self-defense. At 71 grains it carries the heaviest bullet compared, tied with Prvi Partizan's 71-grain JHP. Muzzle figures are 905 fps and 129 ft-lbs.
Zeroed at 25 yards it is 2.3 inches low at 50, where it holds 855 fps with 115 ft-lbs. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 1.0 ft-lbs, matching Prvi Partizan's 71-grain JHP and more than the rest.
If you're cross-shopping, Prvi Partizan's 71-grain JHP matches its 129 ft-lbs at 902 fps. Hornady Custom 60-grain XTP is 95 fps faster, at 1,000 fps and 133 ft-lbs. Federal Hydra-Shok 65-grain sits between the two, at 925 fps and 123 ft-lbs.
- The most retained energy at 50 yards of the loads compared
- Standard pressure, so it runs in any sound .32 ACP
- 6 ft-lbs over Federal Hydra-Shok 65-grain at the muzzle
- Level with Prvi Partizan's 71-grain JHP for the hardest kick of the loads compared, about 24 percent more estimated recoil than Winchester Silvertip 60-grain in the same pistol
- Both Hornady 60-grain loads compared make more muzzle energy
