Solved from this product's advertised 1150 fps, 115gr bullet and G1 BC 0.145, 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
PMC's Bronze 115-grain FMJ is a full metal jacket 9mm load made for target shooters. At 1,150 fps it sits 25 fps over Federal Champion 115-grain and 50 fps under Fiocchi Training Dynamics 115-grain. Muzzle energy is 338 ft-lbs, from a plain lead-core bullet with an open base.
From a 25-yard zero it is 1.3 inches low at 50, where it holds 1,045 fps. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 4.0 ft-lbs, matching ZSR 115-grain.
If you're cross-shopping, CCI Blazer Brass 115-grain makes 335 ft-lbs at much the same muzzle velocity. Fiocchi Training Dynamics 115-grain is the fast one of the four at 1,200 fps and 368 ft-lbs. ZSR 115-grain sits alongside it at 1,148 fps and 336 ft-lbs.
- 279 ft-lbs left at 50 yards, 11 more than Federal Champion 115-grain
- Brass case and standard pressure, so it needs no +P rating and clears range rules on steel
- Milder on the recoil estimate than Fiocchi Training Dynamics 115-grain in the same pistol
- 30 ft-lbs under Fiocchi Training Dynamics 115-grain at the muzzle
- About 4 percent more estimated recoil than Federal Champion 115-grain in the same pistol
