Solved from this product's advertised 1150 fps, 158gr bullet and G1 BC 0.180, with the sight 0.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .357 Mag.
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
Blazer Brass 158-grain JHP is a jacketed hollow point .357 Magnum load, and CCI's spec table lists it for target shooting. At 1,150 fps it is the mildest 158-grain load in the caliber, making 464 ft-lbs.
Zeroed at 25 yards, it is 1.3 inches low at 50, the most drop of the caliber's 158-grain loads, and it arrives at 1,062 fps with 396 ft-lbs. Nothing at this bullet weight recoils less, which is the argument for it. Inside 25 yards none of the 158-grain loads shoots to a different hold.
If you're cross-shopping, Fiocchi's Defense Dynamics 158-grain JHP is the next softest at 1,220 fps, 70 fps and 58 ft-lbs ahead. Sellier & Bellot's 158-grain SJHP is the far end of the group at 1,329 fps and 619 ft-lbs.
- The least estimated recoil of any .357 Magnum 158-grain load
- A hollow point at practice velocity, where the rest of the caliber's 158-grain hollow points run 70 fps or more quicker
- CCI's own copy names defense and training as well as target shooting, so one box covers all three
- 464 ft-lbs is the least of the caliber's 158-grain loads, and 396 is left at 50 yards
- Sellier & Bellot's 158-grain SJHP holds 506 ft-lbs at 50 yards against 396 here
- Hornady's Custom 158-grain XTP carries more at the muzzle for about 15 percent more estimated recoil
