Brass Case • FMJ • MPN: Q4318
Solved from this product's advertised 1200 fps, 124gr bullet and G1 BC 0.167, 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 NATO 124-grain FMJ is a full metal jacket 9mm load made for target and range use. Nothing compared leaves the muzzle faster or kicks harder. Muzzle figures are 1,200 fps and 396 ft-lbs.
Zeroed at 25 yards it is 1.2 inches low at 50, where it still holds 1,092 fps with 329 ft-lbs. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 5.0 ft-lbs.
If you're cross-shopping, Sellier & Bellot 124-grain is 19 fps slower at 1,181 fps with 384 ft-lbs. Federal American Eagle 124-grain is 50 fps slower, at 1,150 fps and 364 ft-lbs. Speer Lawman 124-grain is the mild end at 1,090 fps.
- The most muzzle energy of the loads compared, 57 ft-lbs over Magtech 124-grain
- Keeps the most speed and energy at 50 yards of the loads compared
- Nothing compared shoots flatter at 50 yards from a 25-yard zero
- Loaded to NATO pressure, which runs above standard 9mm, so it belongs only in a pistol rated for it
- The hardest-kicking of the loads compared, about 18 percent more estimated recoil than Speer Lawman 124-grain in the same pistol
- Supersonic at the muzzle, so a suppressed pistol still gets a sonic crack
