Solved from this product's advertised 1190 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
Winchester's USA 115-grain FMJ is a full metal jacket 9mm load made for target and range use. The bullet is a conventional lead core in a copper jacket, with lead exposed at the base. It leaves the muzzle at 1,190 fps with 362 ft-lbs of energy.
Zeroed at 25 yards, it is 1.2 inches low at 50, where the slower loads compared sit about two tenths of an inch lower. At the 50-yard line it is still moving 1,072 fps. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 4.3 ft-lbs, second only to Fiocchi Training Dynamics 115-grain among them.
If you're cross-shopping, ZSR 115-grain is 42 fps slower at 1,148 fps with 336 ft-lbs. Federal Champion 115-grain is the slowest of the group at 1,125 fps and 323 ft-lbs.
- The second most muzzle energy of the loads compared, 6 ft-lbs short of Fiocchi Training Dynamics 115-grain
- Brass case and standard pressure, so no range rule on steel cases and no +P rating apply to it
- Still carrying 294 ft-lbs at 50 yards, second only to Fiocchi Training Dynamics 115-grain
- About 10 percent more estimated recoil than Federal Champion 115-grain in the same pistol
- Lead is exposed at the bullet base, so an indoor range that bars it will not take this load
