Solved from this product's advertised 980 fps, 60gr bullet and G1 BC 0.092, 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
PMC's Bronze 60-grain JHP is a jacketed hollow point .32 ACP load made for target use. Its nose cavity is a plain open hollow point. Muzzle figures are 980 fps and 128 ft-lbs.
Zeroed at 25 yards it is 2.0 inches low at 50, where it holds 892 fps with 106 ft-lbs. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 0.8 ft-lbs, a shade under both Hornady 60-grain loads compared.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady Critical Defense 60-grain FTX is 20 fps faster at 1,000 fps with 133 ft-lbs and a polymer plug in the cavity. Speer Gold Dot 60-grain is 20 fps slower, at 960 fps, and bonds its jacket to the core.
- More muzzle energy than Speer Gold Dot 60-grain and Winchester Silvertip 60-grain
- Standard pressure, so no +P-rated pistol is needed
- About 24 percent less estimated recoil than Buffalo Bore's +P 60-grain Barnes TAC-XP in the same pistol
- 28 ft-lbs under Buffalo Bore's +P 60-grain Barnes TAC-XP at 50 yards
- Sold for target use, where Hornady Critical Defense 60-grain FTX, Winchester Silvertip 60-grain and Speer Gold Dot 60-grain are all sold for defense
