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

Zeroed at 25 yards, it lands 1.3 inches low at 50 yards, level with Speer Gold Dot 165-grain JHP at the flattest of the loads compared. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 8.3 ft-lbs.
