Solved from this product's advertised 1000 fps, 95gr bullet and G1 BC 0.116, 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
Winchester PDX1 Defender 95-grain JHP is a bonded jacketed hollow point .380 Auto load made for personal defense. At 95 grains it carries the heaviest bullet the caliber's defensive loads use. It leaves the muzzle at 1,000 fps with 211 ft-lbs.
Zeroed at 25 yards, it lands 1.9 inches low at 50. Its estimated recoil of 2.2 ft-lbs in a compact pistol is the heaviest of the standard-pressure loads compared, about 4 percent above Speer Gold Dot 90-grain.
If you're cross-shopping, Speer Gold Dot 90-grain is 40 fps faster from a bullet five grains lighter, with 216 ft-lbs. Underwood +P 90-grain raises the pressure to reach 1,200 fps and 288 ft-lbs.
- Standard pressure, so it runs in any .380 Auto in good condition, where Underwood +P 90-grain needs a gun rated for +P
- Holds 923 fps and 180 ft-lbs at 50 yards, the most of the standard-pressure loads compared
- A bonded jacket, which Speer Gold Dot 90-grain is the only other load compared to use
- Speer Gold Dot 90-grain carries slightly more muzzle energy despite the lighter bullet
- The most recoil of the standard-pressure loads compared, well above Remington HTP 88-grain
