Winchester Service Grade .380 ACP 95gr FMJFN Ammo Ballistics
Brass Case • FMJFN
Solved from this product's advertised 955 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
The Service Grade .380 is Winchester's 95-grain FMJFN, a flat-nose full metal jacket, loaded to 955 fps for 190 ft-lbs at the muzzle. Power factor is 91, well below the 125 USPSA minor floor. From a 25-yard zero it drops 2.1 inches at 50 yards and 15.4 at 100, figures that only matter on paper, because a .380 gets used at 7 to 15 yards and the hold never changes inside that.
Remington UMC 95-grain is its twin on every number: 955 fps, the same recoil estimate, and a 2 ft-lbs edge at the muzzle that is inside rounding. CCI Blazer Brass 95-grain is 10 fps slower at 945 fps, 2 ft-lbs behind, with recoil within 2 percent of the Winchester in the same pistol. Ammo Inc Signature 100-grain TMC is the outlier: 5 grains heavier and 65 fps slower at 890 fps, 14 ft-lbs less at the muzzle, and still within 2 percent of the Winchester on recoil energy because the heavier bullet makes up for the lower speed. At 7 to 15 yards all four print to the same hold.
Pick it if you want a flat-nose bullet for practice in a small .380 and a load that feels the same as Remington UMC or Blazer Brass. It is also a fair stand-in for a mid-velocity 95-grain carry load. If your carry round is Winchester's PDX1 Defender 95-grain JHP, that load leaves at 1,000 fps, 45 fps faster than the Service Grade, and produces about 8 percent more recoil energy in the same pistol. If you want the softest option in this set, Ammo Inc Signature 100-grain and Blazer Brass both come in a hair under it, though the gap is under 2 percent and hard to feel.
- The only flat-nose load in its comparison set; Remington UMC, Blazer Brass and Ammo Inc Signature are all plain FMJ or TMC
- Muzzle energy of 190 ft-lbs is second in the set only to Remington UMC's 192
- 2.1 inches low at 50 yards from a 25-yard zero, so one hold covers every distance the pistol will see
- 21 ft-lbs behind Winchester's PDX1 Defender 95-grain at the muzzle, 190 against 211
- Power factor of 91 is 34 short of the 125 minor floor, the same as Remington UMC 95-grain, so the flat nose buys nothing on a scoresheet
- No velocity or energy advantage over Remington UMC 95-grain; the two are identical apart from the nose shape
- 15.4 inches of drop at 100 yards from a 25-yard zero, more than Ammo Inc Signature's heavier bullet loses at 50
