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
Federal American Eagle 95-grain FMJ is a full metal jacket .380 Auto load made for target shooting. Federal jackets the nose so no lead shows at the tip. At 980 fps it makes 203 ft-lbs, the fastest of the loads compared.
From a 25-yard zero it is 2.0 inches low at 50. Its estimated recoil of 2.1 ft-lbs in a compact pistol is about 6 percent above Blazer Brass 95-grain.
If you're cross-shopping, PPU 94-grain FMJ is 29 fps slower with 12 ft-lbs less at the muzzle. Ammo Inc Signature 100-grain TMC is 90 fps slower from a bullet five grains heavier, at 176 ft-lbs.
- The most muzzle energy of the loads compared
- Holds 898 fps and 170 ft-lbs at 50 yards
- A full jacket over the nose, for ranges that restrict exposed-lead bullets
- The most recoil of the loads compared, which a pocket .380 passes to the hand
- PMC Bronze 90-grain starts barely slower and kicks noticeably less
