Solved from this product's advertised 1316 fps, 94gr bullet and G1 BC 0.110, 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
Norma's MLE 94-grain Frangible is a lead-free frangible 9mm range load. Norma presses the bullet from metal powder instead of casting it from lead. It leaves the muzzle at 1,316 fps with 361 ft-lbs.
Zeroed at 25 yards it is 1.0 inch low at 50, where it is still moving 1,122 fps with 263 ft-lbs. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 3.4 ft-lbs, between SinterFire Special Duty 100 and 1776 USA's 90-grain ball.
If you're cross-shopping, SinterFire Special Duty 100 is 34 fps faster at 1,350 fps with 405 ft-lbs and a hollow-point nose. 1776 USA's lead-free 90-grain ball matches that 1,350 fps for 364 ft-lbs.
- No lead anywhere in the bullet, for indoor ranges that bar it
- 5 ft-lbs over 1776 USA's 90-grain ball at 50 yards
- About 15 percent less estimated recoil than SinterFire Special Duty 100 in the same pistol
- The least muzzle energy of the three loads compared
- Supersonic at the muzzle, so a suppressed pistol still gets a sonic crack
- Harder-kicking than 1776 USA's 90-grain ball on the same estimate
