Solved from this product's advertised 951 fps, 94gr bullet and G1 BC 0.138, 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
PPU 94-grain FMJ is a full metal jacket .380 Auto load made for target shooting. At 94 grains the bullet sits a grain under the usual 95, with the jacket covering the lead at the nose. It leaves the muzzle at 951 fps with 191 ft-lbs.
Sighted in at 25 yards, it is 2.1 inches low at 50. Its estimated recoil of 2.0 ft-lbs in a compact pistol is about 7 percent under Federal American Eagle 95-grain FMJ.
If you're cross-shopping, Remington UMC 95-grain FMJ is 4 fps faster with 1 ft-lb more at the muzzle. Federal American Eagle 95-grain FMJ is 29 fps faster with 203 ft-lbs.
- Only PMC Bronze 90-grain kicks less among the loads compared, which helps through a long practice session
- Holds 895 fps and 167 ft-lbs at 50 yards, second only to Federal American Eagle 95-grain FMJ among the loads compared
- A full jacket over the nose, for ranges that restrict exposed-lead bullets
- The least muzzle energy of the loads compared apart from PMC Bronze 90-grain
- PPU's published muzzle energy is above what 94 grains at 951 fps works out to, so the two figures disagree
