CCI Blazer .38 Special +P 125gr JHP Ballistics
Aluminum Case • JHP • MPN: 3514
Solved from this product's advertised 945 fps, 125gr bullet and G1 BC 0.132, with the sight 0.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .38 Special.
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
CCI Blazer +P 125-grain is a jacketed hollow point .38 Special load, and CCI's own spec table lists it for target shooting. At 945 fps it makes 248 ft-lbs, the same as Speer's Gold Dot +P 125-grain.
Zeroed at 25 yards, it is 2.1 inches low at 50, arriving there at 888 fps with 219 ft-lbs. Across the caliber's +P 125-grain loads the drop at that distance is the same to within two tenths of an inch, so switching between them moves nothing.
If you're cross-shopping, Remington's Golden Saber +P 125-grain BJHP leads at 975 fps and 264 ft-lbs, 30 fps and 16 ft-lbs ahead. Hornady's American Gunner 125-grain XTP is the standard-pressure route, at 900 fps and 225 ft-lbs.
- 219 ft-lbs still at 50 yards, within a couple of ft-lbs of every other +P 125-grain load in the caliber bar the Golden Saber
- The same estimated recoil as Speer's Gold Dot +P 125-grain, and within a hair of Magtech's +P 125-grain SJHP
- Speer's Lawman 125-grain TMJ practises about 13 percent softer at standard pressure
- An aluminum case, which cannot be reloaded, where the other +P 125-grain loads in the caliber use brass
- +P pressure, so it belongs only in a revolver rated for it, and many older and alloy-framed .38s are not
- Hornady's American Gunner 125-grain XTP comes close at the muzzle without the +P pressure
