Solved from this product's advertised 1180 fps, 155gr bullet and G1 BC 0.137, 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 Custom 155-grain XTP JHP is a jacketed hollow point .40 S&W load built around Hornady's XTP bullet. At 155 grains it carries the lightest bullet compared, level with Remington HTP 155-grain JHP, and it is the second fastest. It leaves the muzzle at 1,180 fps with 479 ft-lbs of energy.
Zeroed at 25 yards, it lands 1.3 inches low at 50 yards and still carries 387 ft-lbs there. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 7.6 ft-lbs, 0.6 under Speer Gold Dot 165-grain JHP.
If you're cross-shopping, Remington HTP 155-grain JHP leaves 25 fps faster with 21 ft-lbs more at the same bullet weight. Federal HST 165-grain JHP is 50 fps slower with 11 ft-lbs less, behind a heavier bullet.
- Still moving 1,060 fps at 50 yards, second only to Remington HTP 155-grain JHP
- More muzzle energy than Federal HST 165-grain JHP and Hornady Critical Defense 165-grain FTX
- A brass case, where Federal HST and Remington Golden Saber use nickel-plated brass
- Hornady names no use for the Custom line, so nothing in its own labelling places this load as a carry round
- Sheds 120 fps by 50 yards, where Federal HST loses 96
