Solved from this product's advertised 958 fps, 180gr bullet and G1 BC 0.180, with the sight 0.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .40 S&W.
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.
