Solved from this product's advertised 750 fps, 250gr 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
Fiocchi Cowboy Action 250-grain LRNFP is a lead round nose flat point .45 Colt load made for cowboy action shooting. Fiocchi casts the bullet from plain lead, with a rounded nose cut flat at the tip. At 750 fps it makes 312 ft-lbs and a power factor of 187.5.
From a 25-yard zero it sits 3.5 inches low at 50. Its estimated recoil of 9.4 ft-lbs in the same revolver is about 5 percent above Black Hills 250-grain RNFP.
If you're cross-shopping, Winchester Super-X 250-grain LFN matches its muzzle figures and its recoil estimate. Atomic 200-grain LRNFP is 50 fps faster from a bullet 50 grains lighter, and its power factor of 160 is 27.5 lower.
- Power factor clears the 125 minor floor by 62.5
- Keeps 717 fps and 285 ft-lbs at 50 yards
- Winchester Super-X 250-grain LFN is loaded to the same muzzle figures, so either covers a match
- Plain lead with no jacket, which some ranges ban
- Atomic 200-grain LRNFP is the softer load over a long match, about 29 percent less recoil in the same revolver
- Underwood 255-grain LSWCGC is the load for hunting, not for a stage
