Solved from this product's advertised 1000 fps, 200gr bullet and G1 BC 0.138, with the sight 0.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .44 Special.
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
DoubleTap 200-grain TAC-XP is a solid copper hollow point .44 Special load made for personal defense. DoubleTap names the bullet a Barnes TAC-XP, a copper hollow point with no lead core. At 1,000 fps it makes 444 ft-lbs, the most of the loads compared.
Zeroed at 25 yards, it is 1.8 inches low at 50. Its estimated recoil of 9.6 ft-lbs in the same revolver is the heaviest of them, about 26 percent above Federal Champion 200-grain LSWCHP.
If you're cross-shopping, CCI Blazer 200-grain JHP is 80 fps slower with 68 ft-lbs less at the muzzle. PMC Bronze 180-grain comes within 20 fps of this load on a bullet 20 grains lighter, at 384 ft-lbs.
- Lead-free, for ranges with a no-lead rule
- Still carrying 388 ft-lbs at 50 yards
- Barnes' TAC-XP bullet, the only copper hollow point among the loads compared
- The heaviest recoil of the loads compared, which slows follow-up shots in a light revolver
- PMC Bronze 180-grain comes close on energy for a good deal less recoil
