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.

If you're cross-shopping, Federal American Eagle 155-grain FMJ leaves 10 fps faster with 21 ft-lbs less, from a bullet 10 grains lighter. CCI Blazer 165-grain TMJ is 50 fps slower with 41 ft-lbs less, in an aluminum case at the same bullet weight.
