Solved from this product's advertised 1150 fps, 115gr bullet and G1 BC 0.140, 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
Wolf Performance's Steel Case 115-grain FMJ is a full metal jacket 9mm range load. A plain lead core sits inside its copper jacket. Muzzle figures are 1,150 fps and 338 ft-lbs.
From a 25-yard zero it is 1.3 inches low at 50, where it holds 1,042 fps with 277 ft-lbs. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 4.0 ft-lbs, just over Magtech Steel 115-grain.
If you're cross-shopping, CCI Blazer Aluminum 115-grain is 3 ft-lbs behind it at the muzzle, at 1,145 fps. Winchester's WIN9S is the fastest of the three compared, at 1,190 fps and 362 ft-lbs, and Magtech Steel 115-grain the slowest at 1,135 fps.
- 9 ft-lbs over Magtech Steel 115-grain at the muzzle
- Level with CCI Blazer Aluminum 115-grain at 50 yards
- Standard pressure, so no +P-rated pistol is needed
- A steel case, which is magnetic, cannot be reloaded, and is refused by some indoor ranges
- Winchester's WIN9S is quicker and carries more muzzle energy, in a steel case as well
- About 2 percent more estimated recoil than Magtech Steel 115-grain in the same pistol
