Solved from this product's advertised 960 fps, 60gr bullet and G1 BC 0.121, 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
Speer's Gold Dot 60-grain is a bonded hollow point .32 ACP load made for personal protection. Speer plates the jacket onto the lead core so the two stay together as the bullet opens. It leaves the muzzle at 960 fps with 123 ft-lbs.
Zeroed at 25 yards it is 2.0 inches low at 50, where it holds 895 fps with 107 ft-lbs. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 0.8 ft-lbs.
If you're cross-shopping, Winchester Silvertip 60-grain is a touch faster at 970 fps, with an open nose cavity. Hornady Critical Defense 60-grain FTX is 40 fps faster, at 1,000 fps and 133 ft-lbs.
- The mildest estimated recoil of the loads compared, about 26 percent less than Buffalo Bore's +P 60-grain Barnes TAC-XP in the same pistol
- A bonded bullet, where Winchester Silvertip 60-grain and PMC Bronze 60-grain leave jacket and core unjoined
- Keeps more speed at 50 yards than Hornady Critical Defense 60-grain FTX and Winchester Silvertip 60-grain
- The least muzzle energy of the loads compared, 10 ft-lbs under both Hornady 60-grain loads
- Buffalo Bore's +P 60-grain Barnes TAC-XP carries far more energy at 50 yards, at +P pressure
