Solved from this product's advertised 1150 fps, 124gr bullet and G1 BC 0.150, 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
Federal's Premium HST 124-grain JHP is a jacketed hollow point 9mm load made for self-defense. The HST jacket is pre-scored, which Federal designs to open the bullet on impact. It leaves the muzzle at 1,150 fps with 364 ft-lbs.
Zeroed at 25 yards it is 1.3 inches low at 50, where it holds 1,048 fps with 302 ft-lbs. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 4.7 ft-lbs, the same as Speer Gold Dot 124.
If you're cross-shopping, Speer Gold Dot 124 matches its 1,150 fps and 364 ft-lbs on a bonded bullet. Hornady Critical Duty +P 124 FlexLock is 25 fps faster, at 1,175 fps and 380 ft-lbs.
- Standard pressure, so it runs in any sound 9mm without a +P rating
- Keeps marginally more energy at 50 yards than Speer Gold Dot 124, on identical muzzle figures
- About 7 percent less estimated recoil than Winchester Defender +P 124 Bonded in the same pistol
- Its jacket is not bonded to the core, where Winchester Defender +P 124 Bonded joins the two
- 32 ft-lbs under Winchester Defender +P 124 Bonded at the muzzle
- Supersonic at the muzzle, so a suppressed pistol still gets a sonic crack
