Solved from this product's advertised 1350 fps, 90gr bullet and G1 BC 0.105, with the sight 0.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for 9mm Luger, or read Pistol Red Dot: 10-Yard vs 25-Yard Zero.
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
1776 USA's lead-free 90-grain ball is a frangible 9mm range load with no lead in it. Pressed metal powder stands in for a lead core, under a plain ball nose. It leaves the muzzle at 1,350 fps with 364 ft-lbs.
Zeroed at 25 yards it is 0.9 inches low at 50, where it holds 1,137 fps with 258 ft-lbs. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 3.25 ft-lbs, the lightest of the three loads compared.
If you're cross-shopping, SinterFire Special Duty 100 matches its 1,350 fps with 41 ft-lbs more at the muzzle and a hollow-point nose. Norma's MLE 94-grain Frangible is 34 fps slower, at 1,316 fps and 361 ft-lbs.
- No lead anywhere in the bullet, for indoor ranges that bar it
- The lightest estimated recoil of the three compared, about 19 percent under SinterFire Special Duty 100
- Standard pressure, so it needs no +P-rated pistol
- The least retained energy at 50 yards of the three compared
- 15 fps behind SinterFire Special Duty 100 at 50 yards
- Supersonic at the muzzle, so a suppressed pistol still gets a sonic crack
