Solved from this product's advertised 900 fps, 200gr bullet and G1 BC 0.150, 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
Fiocchi's 200-grain semi-jacketed hollow point is a defensive bullet, loaded here to 900 fps and 360 ft-lbs. Power factor is 180, 15 points over the 165 major floor. From a 25-yard zero it drops 2.3 inches at 50 yards and 16.0 inches at 100, and it is still moving 816 fps at the 100-yard mark.
It sits in the middle of the 200-grain group. Federal Champion 200 LSWCHP is 30 fps slower and produces about 5 percent less recoil energy in the same revolver. CCI Blazer 200 goes the other way, 20 fps faster for about 4 percent more recoil. DoubleTap 200 TAC-XP is the hot one, starting 100 fps ahead with about 19 percent more recoil. The 180-grain loads split in two directions. PMC Bronze 180 is 80 fps faster yet kicks about 7 percent less, because its bullet is lighter, while Federal Personal Defense 180-grain is 85 fps slower and produces about 31 percent less recoil. Among the 200-grain choices, the Fiocchi gives up a little speed to the Blazer and the DoubleTap and gains a little comfort in return.
It fits a shooter who wants a full 200-grain hollow point with a comfortable margin over the major floor and less recoil than the Blazer or the DoubleTap. Shooters who want similar recoil with more speed should look at PMC Bronze 180. For a light revolver, Black Hills HoneyBadger 125 is the softer route, with about 34 percent less recoil energy in the same revolver.
- Power factor 33 points higher than Federal Personal Defense 180-grain, which scores minor
- 24 ft-lbs more muzzle energy than Federal Champion 200 LSWCHP at the same bullet weight
- Keeps 325 ft-lbs of energy at 50 yards
- 24 ft-lbs less muzzle energy than PMC Bronze 180 despite a bullet 20 grains heavier
- Power factor sits 4 points under CCI Blazer 200 and 20 under DoubleTap 200 TAC-XP
- 84 ft-lbs less muzzle energy than DoubleTap 200 TAC-XP
