Solved from this product's advertised 1146 fps, 240gr bullet and G1 BC 0.185, 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
HSM's Pro Pistol 240-grain jacketed hollow cavity sits at the mild end of .44 Magnum, at 1,146 fps and 700 ft-lbs. The jacketed hollow cavity is HSM's hollow point, meant for hunting and general field use. Its power factor of 275 is well over the 165 USPSA major floor, and every load in this group clears that floor easily. From a 25-yard zero it drops 1.3 inches at 50 yards and 9.8 inches at 100.
It is the mildest load in its set, and the gap is wide. Sierra Sports Master 240 is the closest, 104 fps faster with 133 ft-lbs more at the muzzle. Fiocchi Defense Dynamics 240 semi-jacketed hollow point (SJHP) is 164 fps faster and carries 214 ft-lbs more, with about 26 percent more recoil energy in the same revolver. The full-power loads sit in another class. PMC Bronze 240 soft point is 351 fps faster with about 59 percent more recoil energy, Ammo Inc Signature 240 JHP is 443 fps faster with 647 ft-lbs more, and Magtech 240 SJSP makes a power factor 113 points higher.
Buy the Pro Pistol for relaxed .44 Magnum shooting and field carry where control matters more than power. Shooters who want a small step up rather than a jump should look at Sierra Sports Master 240. Hunters who want full power at the same bullet weight should step up to PMC Bronze 240, which makes a power factor of 359, or to Ammo Inc Signature 240 JHP.
- About 45 percent less recoil energy than Magtech 240 SJSP in the same revolver
- Power factor of 275 still makes major by 110 points
- About 14 percent less recoil energy than Sierra Sports Master 240, the next mildest load in its set
- 700 ft-lbs is the lowest muzzle energy of the six .44 Magnum loads compared
- Power factor is 106 points below Ammo Inc Signature 240 JHP
- Drops 9.8 inches at 100 yards from a 25-yard zero, so shots past 50 yards need real holdover
