Brass Case • FMJ
Solved from this product's advertised 920 fps, 95gr bullet and G1 BC 0.082, with the sight 0.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .380 Auto.
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
At 920 fps and 179 ft-lbs, Armscor's 95-grain FMJ is the slowest load in its comparison set, and that is the reason to consider it. Power factor is 87. From a 25-yard zero it drops 2.3 inches at 50 yards and 16.5 inches at 100, with 838 fps left at 50, so this is a cartridge for close work and the trajectory table says so plainly. Its recoil estimate is the lowest of the loads compared here too.
Aguila 95 is 25 fps faster and produces about 5 percent more recoil energy in the same pistol. Winchester USA 95 and Remington UMC 95 both leave at 955 fps, 35 fps over the Armscor, with about 6 percent more recoil. Fiocchi 95 adds 40 fps and about 7 percent more recoil energy. Federal Range and Target 95 is the far end of the set at 980 fps, 60 fps faster with 24 ft-lbs more energy and about 10 percent more recoil energy. Every load here carries the same 95-grain bullet, so the differences are all in the charge behind it, and none of them moves the point of impact at pistol distances.
Buy the Armscor when the point of a .380 session is to run a pocket pistol with the least recoil the caliber offers in ball ammo, with a brass case to reload afterward. The trade is cycling margin: a pistol with a stiff recoil spring that runs on Federal Range and Target 95 at 980 fps has 60 fps less to work with here. If you carry Winchester PDX1 Defender 95, the gap is wider still. That load leaves at 1,000 fps with 211 ft-lbs and about 15 percent more recoil energy than the Armscor, so practice with this, then confirm function and feel with a magazine of the carry load.
- Brass case is reloadable, and the bullet is the same 95-grain weight as Aguila 95 and Winchester USA 95, so moving between them changes the charge, not the feed profile
- Power factor of 87 is 6 under Federal Range and Target 95, and neither reaches the 125 minor floor, so the softer charge gives up nothing on a scoresheet
- Only 9 ft-lbs behind Aguila 95 at the muzzle despite being the gentlest load in the set
- 179 ft-lbs is 11 ft-lbs under Winchester USA 95 and 13 under Remington UMC 95
- A pistol that cycles Federal Range and Target 95 at 980 fps with margin to spare has the least margin of the group here, at 920 fps
- Winchester PDX1 Defender 95 carries 32 ft-lbs more at the muzzle, so this is a soft practice load, not a rehearsal for the carry round
