Solved from this product's advertised 1000 fps, 200gr bullet and G1 BC 0.140, with the sight 0.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .45 Colt.
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
CCI Blazer 200-grain JHP is a jacketed hollow point .45 Colt load made for target shooting. CCI's stated use for it is range work, though the bullet is an expanding type. At 1,000 fps it makes 444 ft-lbs, the most of the standard-pressure 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 about 34 percent above Hornady Critical Defense 185-grain FTX.
If you're cross-shopping, Corbon +P 200-grain JHP is 100 fps faster with 93 ft-lbs more at the muzzle. Barnes VOR-TX 200-grain XPB is 150 fps slower at the same bullet weight, with a copper bullet and no lead core.
- Still moving 935 fps with 388 ft-lbs at 50 yards
- Standard pressure, so any sound .45 Colt can fire it, where Corbon +P 200-grain JHP needs a +P-rated gun
- A jacketed hollow point, so no lead shows at the nose
- An aluminum case, which cannot be reloaded, unlike every brass-cased load compared
- A hollow point boxed for range work, so Hornady Critical Defense 185-grain FTX is the one sold for protection
- Barnes VOR-TX 200-grain XPB is the lead-free and much softer choice at this bullet weight
