Solved from this product's advertised 1015 fps, 180gr bullet and G1 BC 0.170, 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
Remington Golden Saber 180-grain BJHP is a bonded hollow point .40 S&W load made for self-defense. Its jacket is cartridge brass, bonded to the lead core, which Remington sells as Golden Saber Bonded. It leaves the muzzle at 1,015 fps with 412 ft-lbs of energy.
From a 25-yard zero the bullet is 1.7 inches low at 50 yards, where it is still moving 957 fps. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 8.0 ft-lbs, a tenth under Speer Gold Dot 180-grain JHP.
If you're cross-shopping, Speer Gold Dot 180-grain JHP leaves 10 fps faster with 8 ft-lbs more at the muzzle, also bonded. Blazer Brass 180-grain JHP matches this load's 1,015 fps and 412 ft-lbs behind a conventional jacket, at the same bullet weight.
- Keeps 366 of its 412 ft-lbs at 50 yards, 89 percent of the muzzle figure
- A bonded brass jacket, where Magtech uses a conventional cup-and-core bullet
- More muzzle energy than Hornady American Gunner and Magtech
- Only Speer Gold Dot 180-grain JHP kicks harder in the same pistol
- Within two feet per second of Blazer Brass at 50 yards
