CCI Blazer Brass 9mm 115gr FMJ Ammo Ballistics
Brass Case • FMJ
Solved from this product's advertised 1145 fps, 115gr bullet and G1 BC 0.155, 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
Blazer Brass 115-grain FMJ is rated at 1,145 fps and 335 ft-lbs at the muzzle, a power factor of 132 with 7 points over the 125 minor floor. Zeroed at 25 yards it drops 1.3 inches at 50 and 10.1 inches at 100, and it holds speed better than the rest of this group: 977 fps at 100 yards against 954 to 971 for the others. Estimated recoil in a 1.9-pound compact pistol is 4.0 ft-lbs.
The comparison set here spans only 25 fps. PMC Bronze and MaxxTech are rated 5 fps faster at 1,150 fps; Magtech is 10 fps slower at 1,135 and Federal Champion 20 fps slower at 1,125. Recoil estimates follow the same order and stay within about 3 percent from top to bottom, with Blazer Brass about 1 percent under PMC Bronze and about 3 percent over Federal Champion. Drop at 100 yards runs from 10.1 inches for the Blazer to 10.6 for Champion, a spread nobody will see on a 25-yard target.
Buy this as a plain practice load for any 9mm that runs standard-pressure ammunition, and expect it to feel like every other standard 115 in the group. If a stiff recoil spring or a short barrel makes you want more margin, PMC Bronze adds 5 fps and 3 ft-lbs, which is very little; nothing in this set is meaningfully hotter. If you want the softest option, Federal Champion trims about 3 percent of recoil energy but drops to a power factor of 129, 4 points over the floor, which is worth knowing before a chronographed match.
- Retains 977 fps at 100 yards, 6 to 23 fps more than PMC Bronze, MaxxTech, Magtech or Federal Champion, and ties PMC Bronze for the flattest 100-yard drop in the group at 10.1 inches
- Power factor of 132 leaves 7 points over the 125 minor floor, 3 more than Federal Champion
- 1,145 fps and 4.0 ft-lbs of estimated recoil sit within 1 percent of PMC Bronze and MaxxTech, so it mixes with either without a change in feel
- About 3 percent more estimated recoil energy than Federal Champion in the same pistol, a small but real difference over a long session
- PMC Bronze and MaxxTech are 5 fps faster, so this is not the pick when cycling margin is the concern
- Magtech is 10 fps slower and about 2 percent softer, with a 100-yard drop only 0.3 inch deeper, so recoil-sensitive shooters lose nothing by choosing it
