Solved from this product's advertised 1370 fps, 125gr bullet and G1 BC 0.141, with the sight 0.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .357 SIG.
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
Winchester USA 125-grain FMJ is a full metal jacket .357 SIG load made for recreational range shooting. Winchester's bullet is flat-nosed, where Federal American Eagle 125-grain and Remington UMC 125-grain use a round nose. At 1,370 fps and 521 ft-lbs it is the quickest of the .357 SIG ball loads compared.
Off a 25-yard zero it is 0.8 inch low at 50 yards, down to 1,198 fps, where Federal American Eagle 125-grain, Speer Lawman 125-grain TMJ and Fiocchi Range Dynamics 124-grain have all held 1,202 fps or better from slower starts. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 6.4 ft-lbs, the most of the ball loads compared.
If you're cross-shopping, Federal American Eagle 125-grain is 15 ft-lbs behind at the muzzle. Remington UMC 125-grain matches that 1,350 fps and then sheds speed fastest of the ball loads compared, reaching 50 yards at 1,149 fps. Federal's HST 125-grain is the hollow point at this bullet weight, at 1,360 fps.
- The fastest ball load compared, 20 fps quicker than Federal American Eagle 125-grain and Speer Lawman 125-grain TMJ
- 398 ft-lbs left at 50 yards, 32 more than Remington UMC 125-grain
- 19 more ft-lbs at the muzzle than Fiocchi Range Dynamics 124-grain, the lightest bullet of the ball loads compared
- Fiocchi Range Dynamics 124-grain recoils about 4 percent less in the same pistol
- Bare lead at the base of the bullet, where Speer Lawman 125-grain TMJ encloses it for indoor ranges that restrict exposed lead
