Solved from this product's advertised 990 fps, 180gr bullet and G1 BC 0.178, 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 UMC 180-grain FMJ is a full metal jacket .40 S&W load made for everyday shooting. UMC is Remington's volume practice line, with a plain jacketed bullet and an exposed lead base. It leaves the muzzle at 990 fps with 392 ft-lbs of energy.
From a 25-yard zero the bullet is 1.8 inches low at 50 yards, where it still holds 939 fps. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 7.7 ft-lbs, 0.8 under Aguila 180-grain FMJ, the hottest load compared.
If you're cross-shopping, Federal Range and Target 180-grain FMJ leaves 10 fps faster with 8 ft-lbs more at the muzzle. Armscor 180-grain FMJ is 37 fps slower with 29 ft-lbs less, and it is the mildest of the loads compared.
- Keeps 353 of its 392 ft-lbs at 50 yards, 90 percent of the muzzle figure
- Holds its speed well to the 50-yard line
- Milder in estimated recoil than Aguila and Federal Range and Target
- 49 ft-lbs behind Aguila 180-grain FMJ at the muzzle
