Solved from this product's advertised 835 fps, 230gr bullet and G1 BC 0.161, with the sight 0.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .45 ACP.
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 230-grain FMJ is a full metal jacket .45 ACP load made for target shooting. UMC is Remington's volume practice line, loaded here at the caliber's standard bullet weight. It leaves the muzzle at 835 fps with 356 ft-lbs of energy.
A 25-yard zero puts it 2.8 inches low at 50 yards, where it is still moving 800 fps. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 9.5 ft-lbs, a tenth over New Republic 230-grain FMJ.
If you're cross-shopping, Magtech 230-grain FMJ leaves 2 fps faster with 2 ft-lbs more at the muzzle, close enough that nothing separates the two. CCI Blazer Aluminum 230-grain FMJ is 10 fps faster with 9 ft-lbs more, in an aluminum case. Both sit within 10 fps of this load.
- Keeps 327 of its 356 ft-lbs at 50 yards, 92 percent of the muzzle figure
- A brass case, where CCI Blazer Aluminum uses aluminum that cannot be reloaded
- Within two feet per second of Magtech at the muzzle
- 9 ft-lbs behind CCI Blazer Aluminum 230-grain FMJ at the muzzle
- Sheds more speed to the 50-yard line than Magtech
