Solved from this product's advertised 1235 fps, 158gr bullet and G1 BC 0.172, 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
Magtech 158-grain FMJ Flat is a flat-nosed full metal jacket .357 Magnum load, and Magtech names no single use for it. The flat nose is a range profile and the bullet is not built to expand. Magtech lists 1,235 fps and 535 ft-lbs from a 4-inch vented barrel.
Zeroed at 25 yards, it is 1.1 inches low at 50, arriving there at 1,121 fps with 441 ft-lbs. It is the mildest of the caliber's ball loads, which still means full-magnum recoil. A .38 Special load in the same revolver is the softer route.
If you're cross-shopping, Sellier & Bellot's 158-grain FMJ is 28 fps faster with 25 ft-lbs more at the muzzle. Armscor's 158-grain FMJ runs 310 fps faster at 1,545 fps and 823 ft-lbs.
- The least estimated recoil of the caliber's jacketed ball loads
- Magtech publishes the whole set, including a 4-inch vented barrel and the metric figures to match
- The only flat-nosed ball bullet at 158 grains in the caliber
- 535 ft-lbs is the least of the caliber's ball loads at the muzzle, and 441 is left at 50 yards
- Armscor's 158-grain FMJ produces about 48 percent more estimated recoil, which is the other end of the same bullet weight
- Plain ball with no cavity, so Remington's Performance WheelGun 158-grain LSWC is the target bullet at this weight
