Solved from this product's advertised 1310 fps, 240gr bullet and G1 BC 0.175, with the sight 0.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .44 Magnum.
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
In a field of .44 Magnum 240s that runs from mild to full-house, Fiocchi's Defense Dynamics 240-grain semi-jacketed hollow point sits in the middle at 1,310 fps and 914 ft-lbs. A semi-jacketed hollow point leaves lead exposed around the hollow nose and is meant to expand on impact. Power factor is 314, 149 points over the USPSA major floor of 165; every load in this set makes major by a wide margin. From a 25-yard zero it sits 0.9 inches low at 50 yards and 7.6 inches low at 100.
Sierra Sports Master 240 is the closest, 81 ft-lbs behind at the muzzle and about 8 percent softer in the same revolver. CCI Blazer 240 gives up 147 ft-lbs and shoots about 14 percent softer. Ammo Inc Signature 240 JHP is the hot one: 433 ft-lbs more and about 40 percent more recoil energy. PMC Bronze 180 tells the light-fast story: 311 ft-lbs more at the muzzle from 60 grains less bullet, and still about 6 percent less recoil than the Fiocchi in the same revolver.
Buy this as a self-defense or general-purpose 240 hollow point that is not a full-house load. For the mildest recoil among these hollow points, CCI Blazer 240 is the pick. For full-power range practice, Ammo Inc Signature 240-grain TMC is a non-expanding ball load 120 fps faster, with about 17 percent more recoil energy in the same revolver.
- Power factor of 314 beats Sierra Sports Master 240 at 300 and CCI Blazer 240 .44 Magnum at 288
- Brass case can be reloaded, which the aluminum-cased Blazer 240 cannot
- 60 fps faster than Sierra Sports Master 240 and 110 fps faster than CCI Blazer 240 at the muzzle
- Drops 7.6 inches at 100 yards from a 25-yard zero, so longer shots need a hold over
- Ammo Inc Signature 240 JHP makes a power factor of 381, 67 points more
- PMC Bronze 180 makes a power factor of 315, a point more, from 60 grains less bullet
