Solved from this product's advertised 950 fps, 180gr bullet and G1 BC 0.164, 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.

Product Overview
Hornady American Gunner 180-grain XTP JHP is a jacketed hollow point .40 S&W load made for target shooting. The XTP is Hornady's conventional expanding handgun bullet, loaded here in a plain brass case. It leaves the muzzle at 950 fps with 361 ft-lbs of energy.
From a 25-yard zero the bullet is 2.0 inches low at 50 yards, the most drop of the loads compared. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 7.2 ft-lbs, against 8.1 for Speer Gold Dot 180-grain JHP.
If you're cross-shopping, Speer Gold Dot 180-grain JHP leaves 75 fps faster with a bonded core, at 420 ft-lbs. Magtech 180-grain JHP falls between the two at 990 fps with a conventional jacket, at the same bullet weight.
- Keeps 326 of its 361 ft-lbs at 50 yards, 90 percent of the muzzle figure
- The mildest of the loads compared in estimated recoil
- A brass case, where Speer Gold Dot and Remington Golden Saber use nickel-plated brass
- 59 ft-lbs behind Speer Gold Dot 180-grain JHP at the muzzle
- Hornady names three uses for the American Gunner line and commits to none, so its own labelling does not place this load as a carry round
