Solved from this product's advertised 1450 fps, 125gr bullet and G1 BC 0.125, 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
Remington UMC 125-grain JSP is a jacketed soft point .357 Magnum load made for target shooting. The lead tip is left bare where the jacket stops short. Remington lists 1,450 fps and 584 ft-lbs.
Zeroed at 25 yards, it is 0.7 inch low at 50, where it still carries 1,239 fps and 427 ft-lbs. Estimated recoil runs about 6 percent under the two Hornady 125-grain loads at 1,500 fps, which is a small return for a full-power magnum.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady's American Gunner 125-grain XTP and Critical Defense 125-grain FTX both list 1,500 fps and 624 ft-lbs, 50 fps and 40 ft-lbs ahead. Winchester's PDX1 Defender 125-grain BJHP is 125 fps slower at 1,325 fps and 97 ft-lbs behind.
- 427 ft-lbs still at 50 yards from a load sold for the range
- A plain brass case, where Hornady's Critical Defense 125-grain FTX and Winchester's PDX1 Defender 125-grain use nickel-plated brass
- Remington states a velocity and an energy that agree with each other, which not every maker in the caliber manages
- A soft point with a bare lead tip, where Hornady's Critical Defense 125-grain FTX has a polymer-filled cavity
- Hornady's American Gunner 125-grain XTP holds 479 ft-lbs at 50 yards against 427 here
- Remington states no test barrel length for the 1,450 fps
